EVS Broadcast Equipment
announced that their renowned XT[2] production server is the
first server on the market to fully and natively support Avid's
DNxHD® codec.
This follows the recent news from Avid Technology,
Inc., that DNxHD®, a high-quality, low bitrate HD production
codec, is the first to be compliant with SMPTE (Society of
Motion Picture and Television Engineers) VC-3 standards.
The Avid DNxHD® codec was approved by the SMPTE organization
as the framework for the VC-3 family of standards, which enable
content creators to facilitate efficient encoding and exchange
of HD media, and are the first SMPTE standards for intra-frame,
720/1080 raster, 8/10 bit and 4:2:2 HD post production. This
VC-3 standard will enable unprecedented interoperability between
any licensed users of the codec, including Avid and EVS.
"Our clients consistently rely on us for flexible HD
workflow options," said Pierre L'Hoest, CEO of EVS. "By
supporting the Avid DNxHD® codec on our XT[2] server,
we can now provide our mutual clients with the solution they
need to design even more realistic, speedy, reliable workflows
for their HD productions, and give them more options for third-party
interoperability and future upgrades."
The multi-channel XT[2] production server is a versatile and
reliable system used for the ingest, organization, and playout
of premium quality video for studio, outside broadcasting,
stadium, and other live or near-live productions. Due to the
XT[2] server's native support of the DNxHD® codec, no
transcoding process is required between the XT[2] and Avid's
post production tools. Native media quality is also preserved
throughout any transfer processes.
"We have been partners with Avid for a long time,"
said Fred Garroy, General Manager of EVS Americas. "We
are proud to say that our interoperability is increasing with
this latest development, and we look forward to our continued
success together."
