THE SOLUTION

Take advantage of the flexible,
intuitive and reliable file­based production tools of EVS’
renowned Xedio production suite.
It’s all in an attractive, compact,
and easily-transportable
package. Wired, configured and
ready for immediate use upon

you get the show on the road
without hassle or delay.

COMPLETE
WORKFLOW

With Xedio you can ingest feeds and
import media quickly and efficiently,
attach metadata for easy searching,
as well as create and edit on a timeline.
Playout management lets you control
playout channels giving complete
organizational control over
your production.

Reduce time from ingest to playout
through direct playout mode, without
file rendering and direct editing while
ingesting. Xedio Flash covers all aspects
of an end-to-end News workflow.

FORMAT AGNOSTIC
SOLUTION

For fluid news production with multiple
sources, Xedio Flash can work
transparently with mixed format material
(e.g. mixing long GOP and I-frame-coded
material) from ingest to playout.

For instance, Xedio’s ability to use SD
and HD files on the same timeline during
program-building, means that no time is
lost in transcoding operations.

INGEST & PLAYOUT.
XEDIO I/O

Using the Xedio I/O Encoder, any SD or
HD feed can be recorded in high- and
low-resolution onto the central storage.
Live feed ingest and file import in multiple
formats can be controlled manually or
automatically via Xedio Ingest Organizer.
High resolution and proxy media files are
simultaneously generated by the system
and are instantly available for editing.
All ingested feeds (including News
feeds or international feeds for sport)
can be controlled and monitored from
a single station.

As a player, Xedio I/O is able to play Xedio
EDL’s in real time, with no need for file
rendering prior to playout. Xedio Playout
Organizer is provided for fast playlists
creation and control.

TIMELINE EDITING
WITH XEDIO CE

Xedio’s virtual editor software offers
unmatched HD/SD editing capabilities
with a simple interface. Optimized for
news production, it supports multiple
formats and resolutions on the same
timeline, with real-time, on-the-fly
visualization of the final output edit.
Xedio CE also offers extended media
management capabilities with powerful
search and data filtering modes.
It can be configured to work in high
or low-resolution.
