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.

Did you know that EVS IPDirector shares many features with the Windows operating system? For example, the view of files or images in a folder can be displayed as a list or as an icon gallery.

In this episode, I will show you how to play clips in three different ways: normal, loop, and bounce mode.

When player channels are ganged, any playback, delay, or shuttle command applied to one player channel is executed simultaneously on all the others in the group. For example, if…

EVS VIA: The Platform That Ate Replay (and Is Still Hungry)

Alright, folks, let's talk about the elephant in the (broadcast) room: EVS VIA. If you're working in live production today, you're either using it, about to use it, or you're living under a very large, technologically isolated rock.

EVS VIA isn't just an upgrade; it's a whole new ecosystem. It's like EVS took its classic LSM, gave it a serious makeover, injected it with a healthy dose of "future-proofing," and then said, "Here you go, world. Enjoy your exponentially more complex, yet incredibly powerful, replay experience."

What's the Big Deal?

For those of you who are used to the good ol' XT boxes, VIA can feel a bit like learning a new language. Suddenly, we're talking about IP this, software-defined that, and a user interface that's slicker than a freshly Zambonied ice rink.

But here's the thing: VIA is…

Hi, I have a lot of friends who are EVS replay operators, but only a few know how to work with EVS IPDirector. I'm not sure why this is the case. IPDirector isn't magic; it's actually quite simple and very user-friendly software, especially when working in news television. Below is my text about how IPDirector is used in News TV. Enjoy! 😉
