Merge Playlists in EVS IPDirector – Easy Peasy!

In this episode, I’ll show you how to easily merge playlists in EVS IPDirector. It’s far simpler than in the EVS LSM and EVS LSM VIA, where you need to switch between remote and VGA  or use the LSM VIA Viewer. Every EVS operator, especially those in sports or news, needs to know how important merging playlists is.

Imagine you’re under pressure in a control room. You’ve just built one playlist for accident footage and another for witness statements. Originally, the plan was to playout them separately. But one minute before air, the producer changes their mind: “Connect these two playlists into one sequence.” In EVS LSM or EVS VIA, that takes time. In IPDirector, it’s a simple drag-and-drop and that’s it. The playlists are merged instantly. Easy peasy.

🛡️ The Hidden Cost of Not Getting Vaccinated in Live Broadcast 🛡️

When you work in live TV, outside broadcast, or major productions, your health isn’t just personal — it’s professional.

Getting sick at the wrong time can cost you jobs, reputation, and opportunities you worked years to build.

In our new 30-minute interview, we talk openly about the real price of ignoring vaccinations in this industry — based on real experience from live events across the world.

Protect your health. Protect your career.

Part of the Broadcast Strong movement — because in broadcast, your body is your engine.

At the University of Television, our broadcast training journey took a memorable step forward in extraordinary circumstances — in the heart of the desert, helping local EVS operators take their first steps into live TV production. This story highlights our commitment to real-world education and broadcast excellence. Thanks to the University of Television broadcast training local EVS operators gained their first real-world experience.

One of the best experiences of my life was working in Oman, where I had the honor of serving as an official EVS Trainer for operational training, both in Salalah and Muscat.

I was hired to lead the operational integration during a historic moment — the first official premiere of EVS systems at Oman TV, the national public broadcaster. It was an incredible opportunity: bringing state-of-the-art replay and live production technology into a new market, and helping teams to take their very first steps into the future of broadcast.

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! 😉

I’d love to hear from you:
