How to move between pages and banks on EVS

The director shouts: "Replay!" Your clip is in there somewhere. How fast can you get to it?

Think of EVS like a big hotel.

The hotel has 10 floors. Those are the pages.

Every floor has 9 rooms for your clips. Those are the banks.

Room 10 on every floor is special. That is where your playlists live.

So every clip has an address. Clip 111A means page 1, bank 1, clip 1, camera A.

How do you walk around the hotel? With the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Arrows alone: walk from clip to clip on the screen. The clip you are on gets green arrows around it.

ALT + arrow up or down: move between banks.

ALT + arrow left or right: move between pages, like turning the pages of a book.

END: straight to room 10 on the same floor, your playlists.

HOME: back to room 1 on the same floor.

Practise it until your fingers know it. On a live show there is no time to look at the keyboard.

Every shortcut here comes from the official EVS Multicam LSM manual. More step-by-step knowledge in the Broadcast Academy, with video courses and operator manuals: https://www.universityoftelevision.com/broadcast-academy
