The EVS production servers which service German outside broadcast (OB) facility, AKK TV, have been upgraded in order to enable ORF, Austria’s public broadcaster, live coverage of European Grand Prix. EVS, a company which designs broadcast and media production systems for sports, news and television entertainment, upgraded AKK TV’s current XT2 servers to XT3 servers and added an LSM Connect tablet-based solution which will provide the broadcaster with immediate access to, and control of, all clips and playlists.
Volker Gispert, CEO at AKK TV, commented: “EVS is a long-standing and highly trusted partner. Its reliable solutions are central to our live production infrastructure and our business success. The upgrade to XT3 servers will not only make our operations even faster and future-proof our workflow, but will also allow us to further extend our live TV production capabilities.’
Without having to overhaul its infrastructure, AKK TV is able to manage current or future formats and workflows with its new XT3 servers, which offer 20TB of storage space, 381 hours of HD recording space or 762 hours of SD recording volume. The upgrade will also allow the facility to have two operators working on the same machine at the same time, as it is equipped with two additional HD/SD video channels.
