SpotBox

Key features

Instant response, VTR-like ballistic
Cost-effective
Added creativity
Flexibility for studio and OB production
Efficient network operation

SpotBox is the entry level production & playout solution running on the XT2 server platform. Designed for record & playback applications under third party control in HD and SD, SpotBox gives the control up to six video channels of the XT2 server thanks to a vast range of remote control protocols, making it simple to integrate with most broadcast automation systems, controllers and switchers.

SpotBox is a true VTR replacement that fulfils live studio production requirements. It allows the XT2 server to be directly controlled by the production switcher to playback clips, music, stills and graphics (with Key & Fill support) or loop clips as a moving background.

When used in an Outside Broadcast environment, SpotBox seamlessly integrates into the existing workflow and can playback content imported from multiple environments: graphics workstations, NLEs or external drives (P2, XDCAM, etc).

Cost-effective
SpotBox is the entry-level application for EVS XT[2] servers and offers a turnkey VTR replacement solution with unmatched value for money

Added creativity
SpotBox does more than replace multiple VTRs. By smoothly integrating Key & Fill and graphics support with instant clips playback, SpotBox offers more options to directors and operators while keeping maximum reactivity

Flexibility for studio and OB production
Operators can pick the appropriate channel configuration and control protocol on a job by job basis, varying standards, formats, number of inputs and outputs etc.

Efficient network operation
Pre-production material can be stored on Xfile[2] removable media or across the Xnet2 network, and automatically imported on the XT2 server controlled by SpotBox, dramatically reducing ingest time and risk of mistakes.
