EVS Servers, IPDirector and Integration Technical Training

4 days

English

This course aims to give an overview on the different EVS products involved in a tapeless workflow (Sports/News/Entertainment) including the integration with third party NLE systems (such as Avid, Adobe or Apple FCP). It provides the participants with a complete overview of the hardware and software involved, a description of the software installation and its configuration. It also provides an operational overview and a description of some generic workflows.

Technical Managers and Engineers.

A minimum knowledge of computer systems and a basic knowledge of networks are mandatory.  

The complete training program has a duration of 4 days. It is however possible to attend only a part of it for a reduced price (e.g. only the servers part or only the IPDirector part). If this should be the case, do not hesitate to come back to us (training@evs.com) for more details.
