Darts on ITV in super slow motion with EVS

ITV and the service company 021 Television choose EVS servers for the broadcast of the Darts Champions League. To edit the pieces, ITV has chosen Apple Final Cut Pro.

The English broadcaster and its main broadcast audiovisual service company, 021 Television, have chosen to integrate fifteen EVS XT[2] servers for the broadcast of matches from the Darts Champions League, a tremendously popular sport in the United Kingdom. In a completely tape-free environment, the ITV and 021 operation is made up of two dozen HD cameras and a total of fifteen servers intended mainly to provide images of the super slow motion replays from the four Super Slo Motions deployed to each event. Other XT servers[2] serve to store the material edited by the Final Cut Pro stations, encoding the incoming material in the ProRes 4:2:2 codec without the need for any transcoding. For security, each machine is configured as a slave to an EVS XHub[2]s where a continuous backup of the broadcast is carried out.
