Custom Consoles' Module-R Lite Desk
Equips EVS IP Expertise Center
E

VS, a leading provider of live
video production technology, has
purchased a nine-bay Custom Consoles
Module-R Lite desk for the new IP
Expertise Center at its headquarters in
Liège, Belgium.
The new desk incorporates an EVS
DYVI live production switcher and will
be used to demonstrate EVS products
in a fully operational IP production
environment.
"Custom Consoles' Module-R Lite was
the logical choice for this application
as it gave us the freedom to configure
a design which exactly matched
our technical requirements and the
available space," comments EVS
Marketing SVP Nicolas Bourdon.
"Module-R and Module-R Lite are
used in many studios around the world
which is an obvious advantage in a
demonstration suite addressing the
video production industry. The desk
itself is 4.7 metres wide and designed
for use by up to three operators.
Nine equipment pods with 45 degree

slanted front panels
are positioned along
the rear of the main
work surface, each pod
housing up to three rack
units of communications

equipment.

A

vid recently unveiled its Avid
Artist | DNxIP, the latest addition
to the Avid I/O family of hardware
interfaces.
Part of Avid's commitment to
offering the most comprehensive

create, distribute and optimise
media, the new portable interface
will enable broadcasters and large

post-production facilities to connect
their entire studios over IP for greater
flexibility and efficiency.
Built in partnership with AJA and
powered by MediaCentral, claimed to
be the industry's most open, tightly
integrated and efficient platform
designed for media, Avid Artist | DNxIP
is a Thunderbolt 3 equipped I/O device
that enables the transfer of SMPTE

standard HD video over 10 GigE IP
networks, with high-quality local
monitoring over 3G-SDI and HDMI 2.0.
"The increased agility and efficiency
of IP workflows is a must have for
content creators and broadcasters
in today's competitive climate," said
Alan Hoff, VP of Market Solutions
for Avid. "We've collaborated with
AJA on the newest addition to our

Avid Artist product line, Avid Artist
DNxIP, which offers broadcasters and
post-production facilities a portable
yet powerful video interface for IP
workflows."
Nick Rashby, President, AJA Video
Systems, said: "DNxIP is the next
evolution of our development efforts
with Avid, a trusted technology
partner. We're excited to be teaming
up with them again on a nextgeneration hardware option that
meets the needs of professional IP
workflows."
The highly portable desktop box
eliminates the challenges of managing
physical resources associated with
legacy video routing over SDI and
gives customers more flexibility in
how they route video within their
facilities.
