EVS HD Server Solution

2008 has seen Presteigne Charter become the leading EVS Server supplier in the broadcast industry around the globe, for sporting events and high scaled reality productions.

Presteigne Charter are able to provide a tapeless broadcast facility with signals being ingested simultaneously onto HD EVS XT[2] 4CH & EVS XLS[2] 6CH both in high resolution and low-resolution allowing producers, editors (AVID or MAC) and on-air operators instant access of material, seconds after it has been recorded and transferred in HD at six (6) times real time.

Major sporting events act as a driver for television broadcasters, as well as athletes, to raise their game. For 2008, with the biggest event of all – the Summer Olympic Games, coverage is HD, the post production is tapeless and viewers expect instant analysis of every move. Near-live editing powered by disc-based recording engineered to perfection and deployed on a grand scale by Presteigne Charter enables broadcasters to provide this analysis.
