1. Overview

1.1. Presentation

Welcome to the EVS range of products and thank you for using an EVS XS server. We

will do our best to satisfy your video production needs and we look forward to continuing

working with you.

The EVS XS servers are full digital in PAL (625i), NTSC (525i), 720p, 1080i, and 1080p

standards. These multi-channel, disk-based video servers are specifically designed for

studio applications, to satisfy the needs of near-live and pre-recorded studio productions.

XS servers are available in 5U chassis (2- or 4- channel configurations) or 6U chassis (4-

or 6-channel configurations).

The XS servers offer configurations with maximum 6 video channels SD/HD and,

optionally, 6-channel 3D/1080p.

XS servers work with SAS disks: they are equipped with internal SAS disk array and/or

can be connected to a SAS-HDX external SAS disk array.

They can be used with various third-party controllers, applications, and automation

systems using industry-standard protocols such as Sony BVW75, VDCP, Odetics,

DD35, IPDP, or EVS AVSP, EditRec, LinX API.

They natively support a wide range of HD Intra codecs, such as Mjpeg, VC-3, Avid

DNxHD®, Apple ProRes®, Mpeg-2 Intra, Panasonic DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra Class 100

as well as SD Intra codecs.

It can also encode A/V content in two essences at a time: Intra + LongGOP (XDCAM) or

Intra + Proxy (Mjpeg), as well as in Intra only, or LongGOP only.

1. Overview 1

They can be operated in multi-essence configurations where the ingested material is

directly and simultaneously available in the XDCAMcodec and in an Intra-frame codec.

XS servers can also be controlled by EVS applications:

IPDirector: a suite of Windows software applications designed to manage networked

EVS video servers. Its applications make it possible to control multiple channels within

the XNet2 network, as well as to log an event, to create and manage clips and play-lists

with advanced functions, among others to extract clips from a VTR. It also provides

extensive database search features.

INSIO: an interface to manage single or multi-camera ingests, instant review, clip transfer

and streaming to editor and storage, as well as production notes.
