EVS Expands Its MXF Support With OpenCube Technologies

OpenCube, a key supplier of MXF technologies, has announced that it has entered a license agreement with EVS Broadcast Equipment, a leader in instant tapeless technology.
According to the terms of the agreement, EVS, a company which specialises in the design and the manufacturing of hardware and software for the production and play-out of sport, news and TV programmes in both OB and studio environments will further expand its support of the MXF file format by integrating OpenCube's MXF Toolkit in connection with EVS XT(2) and XS servers.
Efficient tools for exchanging media files have become a key factor in ensuring cost-effective tapeless workflows. EVS was looking for the best level of integration and media exchange with third-party broadcast technology solutions. OpenCube MXF proved to be the ideal tool to achieve this goal.
OpenCube MXF Toolkit offers all the features required for mastering MXF and for preserving metadata with a variety of essence formats, including MPEG2, AVC-I, DNxHD, DVCPro and JPEG2K. MXFTk are shown to be a solution that is both totally compliant with MXF standards and highly compatible with other solutions on the market.
After concluding the tests, EVS decided to integrate the OpenCube MXF Toolkit so that it could generate MXF files in its XT(2) and XS series servers gateway system XTAccess, notably in DVCProHD and DNxHD and be able to share the media files with editing tools such as Avid and Quantel.
The partnership between EVS and OpenCube has already proven to be successful: a first release of the EVS XTAccess incorporating OpenCube's MXF Toolkit will be available for demonstration at IBC Amsterdam in September 2009.
Serge Comes, Media Product Manager at EVS, said: "We opted for OpenCube MXF technology in order to expand our capabilities to interchange media with third-party systems and maximise our MXF standard-compliant implementation, but also because the solution offers the flexibility needed to support future HD video formats."
Benoit Février, CEO of OpenCube, said: "OpenCube's non-stop R&D has enabled the company to stay at the vanguard of MXF implementation. We are proud to have a top player like EVS joining us as a partner."
