VTM Group engages EVS for Bundesliga-oriented sports studios

VTM, the Austrian-based television production services company, has selected EVS to deliver the live sports production workflow for its new sports centre in their Auhof studios in Vienna. The new production infrastructure was designed to enable Sky Sport Austria’s live coverage of this year’s Austrian Football Bundesliga

The end-to-end workflow is a complete EVS live sports solution. Covering multiple feeds ingest, live production asset management, shared storage and remote browsing, highlights editing and playout, the live production workflow integrates seamlessly with Sky Sport Austria’s post-production facilities in Vienna.

“VTM had a number of key specifications for the new workflow,” said Jérôme Wauthoz, market solution manager, sports centre at EVS. “These included the ability for the solution to handle multiple media formats, and facilitate the access and easy exchange of media content between production and post-production.”

“Since the launch of our new sports centre, the new live production infrastructure provided by EVS has given us the opportunity to enhance every stage of our workflow,” addedWolfgang Vala, managing director, VTM. “The seamless integration between live production and post- production is crucial to an efficient workflow. In particular, the EVS shared storage solution enables our post team to have instant access to content. We are now set up to work much more smartly, which brings so many productivity benefits across the whole production chain and means we can now focus on enabling a better end product for Sky Sports.”
