I remember my first weeks on EVS IPDirector. My mouse hand was constantly flying around clicking through menus, opening panels, trying to keep up. Then one of the senior EVS operators advised me: “Forget the mouse. Learn your shortcuts”. He was right. In this episode I will show you how to modify and use shortcuts in EVS IPDirector.  In EVS IP Director, shortcuts are simply keyboard combinations that trigger functions instantly. Instead of clicking through menus, you hit a ke

If you see a popup saying: “There is a conflict between the selected version of Multicam and one of the Multicam version of your servers (Multicam 20.6.35). Please check your server version then go to Configure -> General -> Multicam version to set the right version. Remark: all services must be stopped to change this setting.” it simply means that the Multicam version selected in IPDirector does not match the Multicam version actually running on your XT server(s). Here’s how

Imagine sitting in the news control room in front of a huge database filled with thousands of clips, playlists, and media files. You know that somewhere in there is the one clip you need, but you don’t have time to scroll through everything. At that moment, the stress kicks in because you just can’t find it. That’s exactly why EVS IPDirector has Quick Text Search. In this episode, I’ll show you how to use it efficiently and how to “speak its language.” Quick Text Search is bu

Natural bodybuilding. Zero doping. We ran a single live stream — and the only “supplement” on set was an EVS XT3 (12-channel MAX) server. What came out of it? • 16 hours of live transmission • Hundreds of clips • Dozens of playlists • Non-stop focus — and a lot of fun I’ve put together a new backstage/behind-the-scenes video showing how a TV broadcast like this is actually produced and what an EVS operator really does — from system boot and record-trains, through live clippin

The biggest obstacle in our industry is not the lack of courses. It’s the lack of hands-on practice after the course. You can spend good money on a 3-day EVS training, collect the certificate, post a nice photo on LinkedIn… and still be unable to deliver a clean replay show three weeks later. Why? Because high-pressure live broadcast is muscle memory, not theory. If you don’t touch the buttons right after training, the knowledge fades. In that case, even the best training bec

Global production, hundreds of clips to roll, and a ruthless clock while producers and editors look you in the eye and ask, “Are you ready?” In moments like these, EVS IPDirector earns its keep: the Group function in the Playlist panel turns a messy list into clean, named blocks you can cue and play with a single click. In this episode, I’ll show you what the Group function does, when to use it, and exactly how to make it work for you. Let’s explain what the Group function in

Worldwide production - During rehearsals, a friend came to me and asked, “Can you help me with the EVS IPDirector?” “Sure,” I said, and took a seat at the workstation, but something felt off. Something was missing. I asked, “Where’s the Shuttle Pad Pro?” He looked at me and said, “That’s the problem.” And honestly? That made everything more difficult than it needed to be.
