EVS will provide a production workflow that enables the host broadcaster of the games, DAGBS, (Doha Asian Games Broadcast Services - a joint venture between HBS and TWI) to deliver a series of sophisticated applications to international broadcasters. These include the media management of 42 different feeds and multiple broadcasts, real-time and daily highlights, and finished edit and playouts.
More than 60 EVS XT2 servers will be used for the production and playout of the Games. Fourteen XT2 servers, combined with archiving and gateway devices XStore and XFile, will constitute the central media server dedicated to the acquisition, production and archiving of the different media available for multi production and post production purposes. Fifty one IP Directors will be used to control, log and browse footage in the media server.
Luc Doneux, EVS head of big sport events said: “The Asian Games are remarkable, not only for the fact that the broadcast audience is so vital for their success, but also that the technological infrastructure will be the most advanced of any major sporting event to allow instant access to all the media all the time to all the broadcasters working in a live and near-live environment.”
