EVS wins IBC2009 Innovation Awards
EVS INSTANT TAPELESS TECHNOLOGY AWARDED FOR OUTSTANDING CONTRIBUTION TO THE RTBF NUMPROD PROJECT. Yesterday, EVS Broadcast Equipment, along with Dalet, received the 2009 IBC Innovation Awards in the Content Management category for their significant contribution to RTBF’s (Belgian French-speaking public broadcaster) digitization and tapeless enterprise called, NUMPROD.
In 2008, RTBF launched the NUMPROD project to migrate its television broadcast operations to a full tapeless workflow, that offered integrated production, content management, media essence and metadata management for multi-channel and multi-platform distribution. RTBF opted for a combined production solution, which includes EVS Instant Tapeless Technology and Dalet media management systems. Both technologies had to achieve a deep level of integration to allow media interchange and referencing. In addition, EVS and Dalet solutions were optimized to be fully interfaced with the RTBF Intranet de Production, a proprietary media management system using new exchange technologies, such as API Web Services and the SOAP protocol xml file exchanges - an ESB and Oracle database. Both broadcast technology specialists, EVS and Dalet, provided RTBF with a highly flexible and scalable tapeless workflow facilitating the production needs for a wide range of resources dedicated to news, sports and television programs. The innovative workflows from ingest to playout rely on the integration between EVS’ production and central storage servers, as well as its production management software IPDirector and Dalet enterprise media asset management technology. “EVS is extremely honored to obtain this recognition from the 2009 IBC Innovation Awards organization. I would like to express my congratulations to RTBF for its successful achievement in such a challenging project. I also want to express my thanks to our partners from Dalet, and to all the teams at EVS that were involved in this successful enterprise”, says Pierre L’Hoest, CEO of EVS. “This reward illustrates EVS’ ability to develop viable solutions for studio productions and to fulfill broadcasters’ requirements in terms of reliability, efficiency, and open technology.” Visit EVS at IBC 2009, Hall 8, stand B90.
