In this episode, I will show you how to play clips in three different ways: normal, loop, and bounce mode. It's crucial to know how these three modes work and how to change them, especially during playout. It's all about a small icon in the Control Panel, which changes the play mode. It only takes a single or double click!
Starting three different clips at exactly the same moment? No problem for EVS IPDirector. In this episode, I’ll walk you through how to use the Gang tool to output player channels simultaneously in EVS IPDirector.
Every production brings its own set of challenges and creative ideas. In one recent show, the main producer asked for three separate pictures to playout at the exact same time, perfectly synchronized. Of course, manually starting three clips simultaneously isn’t a realistic option. This is where the Gang tool in EVS IPDirector comes in handy, allowing for seamless synchronization.
Firstly, we have to understand what “GANG” means in the EVS IPDirector. The 'Gang' feature links multiple output player channels into a group and allows for their simultaneous control. 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! 😉
