Wembley Stadium

The 2011 UEFA Champions League Final that was played on 28 May at Wembley Stadium gathered an impressive technical deployment with 40 cameras and 12 stereoscopic camera positions to broadcast live content to more than 300 million viewers in over 150 countries.

As the host broadcaster, Sky Sports syndicated its HD and 3D coverage to 19 different broadcasters from around the world. In partnership with NEP Visions and Telegenic, the British satellite sports broadcaster employed 27 EVS XT series servers, including the new XT3, controlled by MulticamLSM software for multi-camera ingest and live editing functions, such as clipping, Live Slow Motion and the first-ever 3D SuperMotion replay. Sky Sports also used Epsio, EVS’ instant graphic solution for live football, which allows LSM operators to insert a virtual offside line in their instant replays or add free-kick circles and the distance to goal in real-time. As a result, fans were able to watch the exciting action in not just 2 but 3 dimensions.

New Development

All-in-One News Production System Xedio Flash

At the NAB show last April, EVS introduced Xedio Flash: a new production package for news broadcasting, offering a real plug and play toolkit for multiple fast turnaround production operations. Easily transportable, this latest solution from EVS offers a complete newsroom setup in a single package. Furthermore, Xedio Flash guarantees instant access to media and seamless integration with third-party systems due to its genuine production technology and advanced API solutions.

EVS’ all-in-one news production package was recently selected by KM, the French production company in charge of TV Festival de Cannes, for the exclusive coverage of the 2011 Cannes Film Festival.

Xedio Flash is currently being presented in 13 cities throughout Europe and the Middle East via EVS’ Newsroom in a Box Tour.
