EVS has announced the launch of its new eShop platform.
Designed to enable users to autonomously scale their production infrastructure as requirements evolve, the self-service platform allows broadcasters, engineers and service providers to purchase, configure and manage On-Demand Activation (ODA) licences, said the company.
Featuring a centralised, secure interface, the EVS eShop allows users to activate and monitor usage of licences across their infrastructure, driving resource optimisation and cost efficiencies, added the company.
Jean-Charles Drappier, SVP portfolio and business innovation at EVS, said, “The EVS eShop gives our customers the ability to respond instantly to changing production needs, whether that means adding replay channels at short notice, upgrading to UHD for a flagship broadcast, or enabling advanced tools for a special project. Broadcasters and media companies today need to do more with less, and the eShop directly supports that reality. It removes the need for upfront investments in features that aren’t used continuously, delivering both operational flexibility and smarter budget control.”
A range of key EVS products are supported at launch, including:
- XT-VIA and XS-VIA live production servers: extend channel counts, upgrade output resolution to UHD, and activate packages that include Super Motion, Advanced Super Motion, and Split Screen options.
- VIA XSquare and XFile3: add transcoding destinations, enable SDR/HDR conversion, or adjust frame rate settings to meet multi-format delivery requirements.
- Xeebra multi-review (VAR) system: activate AI assisted offside tools or Xeebra Insight user licences for medical and performance analysis teams.
The launch follows a trial period. Commenting on experiences with the platform, François-Xavier Van Leeuw, manager support operations, events and transmission at Belgium’s RTBF, said, “With the eShop, our teams can handle scaling completely on their own. With just a few clicks we select the licenses we need exactly when we need them. It’s made our entire production workflow more agile and predictable.”
EVS channel partners are able to provision licences for customers while maintaining visibility across supported accounts. The company plans to evolve the platform, adding products and features to ensure users can remain agile in a constantly changing media environment, it said.
