Integration with Apple Final Cut Pro

A common practice in multi-camera/multi feed-production is to take content that is recorded on XT/XS series servers and repurpose it during post-production. In the past, material that was edited with traditional NLE tools such as Final Cut Pro, had to first be digitized into the edit system in real-time. This meant that for a 2-hour show with 8 camera isolates (plus line cut), there was 18 hours of real-time digitizing before you could actually begin to edit. Multiple edit stations connected to shared storage would help to alleviate this bottleneck, but at quite a cost. Many productions already rely on the EVS servers for their speed and reliability during live events. Most, if not all, of the significant camera ISOs are already recorded on the EVS server network. And since EVS XT/XS series servers natively support the Apple SD and HD codecs, clipped files can be directly transferred to the Apple post-production environment without the need of encoding and decoding, which saves time and preserves the quality of the images.
