1. Overview

1.1. Presentation

Welcome to the EVS range of products and thank you for using an EVS XT3 server. We

will do our best to satisfy your video production needs and we look forward to continuing

working with you.

The EVS XT3 servers are full digital in PAL (625i), NTSC (525i), 720p, 1080p, and 1080i

standards. These multi-channel, disk-based video servers are ideal for a wide range of

broadcast applications, from sports and live production to playout and transmission. XT3

servers are available in 6U or 4U chassis.

The XT3 servers offer flexible configurations up to 8-channel SD/HD and, optionally, 6-

channel 3D/1080p.

XT3 servers work with SAS disks: they are equipped with internal SAS disk array and/or

can be connected to a SAS-HDX external SAS disk array.

They can be used with various third party controllers, applications, and automation

systems using industry-standard protocols such as Sony BVW75, VDCP, Odetics,

DD35, IPDP, or EVS AVSP, EditRec, LinX API.

They natively support a wide range of HD codecs, such as M-JPEG, Avid DNxHD®, VC-

3, Apple ProRes®, MPEG-2 intra, Panasonic DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra Class 100 , as

well as SD codecs.

HARDWARE TECHNICAL REFERENCE MANUAL XT3 Server 11.02

1. Overview 1

XT3 servers can also be controlled by EVS applications:

Live Slow Motion (LSM): for sports production, including replays, highlights editing, and

analysis tools like Split Screen to compare 2 synchronized actions side by side, Target

Tracking and Painting to highlight a particular detail or provide tactical explanations.

IPDirector: a suite of Windows software applications designed to manage networked

EVS video servers. Its applications make it possible to control multiple channels within

the XNet2 network, as well as to log an event, to create and manage clips and play-lists

with advanced functions, among others to extract clips from a VTR. It also provides

extensive database search features.

INSIO: an interface to manage single or multi-camera ingests, instant review, clip transfer

and streaming to editor and storage, as well as production notes.

1.2. Proxy Server

A low-resolution option can be set up to use the XT3 server as a proxy server only. The

Proxy servers can be run on large production events as the counterparts of the high-

resolution servers. In this case, they need to be included in an XNet2 network distinct

from the high-resolution XNet2 network.

The XT3 proxy servers are used for browsing purposes and can be controlled by

IPDirector or EVS own API (AVSP) protocols.
