EVS, ARRI combine for high-speed HD production

EVS Broadcast Equipment has announced the full integration of its XT[2] Multicam 10 with ARRI Media / NAC Hi-Motion cameras.

With EVS’ XT[2] Multicam 10 software release, all existing XT[2] LSM systems will offer a higher level of integration with ARRI Media Hi-Motion systems. ARRI Media is the specialist in high-speed High Definition cameras.

This new integration with hypermotion cameras will allow live sport operators to manage all hypermotion functions, including recording, replay, and clipping, directly from the EVS LSM remote controller.

Michael Dufranne, MulticamLSM product manager at EVS, stated, “From the earliest use of Hi-Motion in 2006, on Premiership Football in the UK and World Cup Football in Germany, the XT[2] has recorded and played out the output of the camera when used in live events. However the EVS operator, working in the intensive environment of live sports broadcasting, has had to operate across two different control panels: the Musashi Controller managing the Hi-Motion record/replay and the ubiquitous EVS controller to clip up and play into the live transmission. With the release of Multicam 10, available for all existing XT[2] servers, the operator works on one panel, the EVS controller, connected to the XT[2] server controlling the Hi-Motion record/replay as well as all the functions of the XT[2].”

Andy Hayford, Digital High-Speed manager at ARRI Media, claimed that the company’s Hi-Motion was the high-speed HD camera of choice for major sports broadcasters around the world.

“Hi-Motion is used to provide extreme slow-motion ‘Hypermotion’ replays, available instantly in full HD quality for sports coverage. It is utilised to cover a diverse range of major international and domestic sporting events. Being integrated with the EVS XT[2] production server, which is synonymous with sports production and worldwide broadcasting, as is used for action replays, highlights packaging, feed streaming, and time shifting, makes the package more attractive to end users.”
