Telestream, a provider of automated media encoding and delivery solutions, and EVS Broadcast Equipment, a developer of production server solutions, announced Telestream FlipFactory transcoding support for the EVS MXF format, XT Server, and XFile platform. The product integration provides seamless media and metadata file exchange between the XT Server and a greater number of professional systems. These systems include nonlinear edit systems, storage area networks, archives, and other media servers. It also extends FlipFactory universal transcoding support to include the EVS JPEG format used for sports broadcast.

The integration improves workflow in terms of continuity between EVS and Avid systems. Media is recorded into the EVS XT server. Then FlipFactory automatically provides transparent import and export of Avid-compatible media and metadata files with the EVS XT server. When media is ready to air, FlipFactory can also be used to deliver finished material back to EVS servers for play out.

EVS will be demonstrating the XT integration with Telestream FlipFactory in booth C4534 at the upcoming National Association of Broadcasters convention in Las Vegas, April 18-21, 2005. The demonstration will feature FlipFactory interfaced with Avid to enable seamless import and export of EVS MXF files. FlipFactory will also be demonstrated in Telestream booth SU11404. FlipFactory support for EVS is slated for availability in May 2005.
