Mavis Broadcast unveils Mavis 2.0 for end-to-end live video production

Mavis Broadcast has released Mavis 2.0, an end-to-end solution for producing captivating live video content.

Produced in collaboration with Atomos, Mavis 2.0 is an all-encompassing solution that combines cutting-edge hardware and software with user-friendly features and a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model.

“We are thrilled to introduce Mavis 2.0,” said Patrick Holroyd, Mavis CEO. “By combining our innovative software and Atomos’ cutting-edge hardware, we’re empowering seamless end-to-end live production like never before. This is also a significant step in realising our vision of democratising live video production, which we are very excited about.”

Mavis 2.0 boasts a host of new and improved features. By embracing the SaaS model, Mavis brings benefits for global partners and users, delivering live content to either broadcast or digital destinations. Mavis 2.0 also offers expanded camera inputs. A show can now enjoy live input for up to eight cameras, doubling the capability of its predecessor, while frame rates now go up to 59.94 progressive.

The solution also opens up new avenues for accessing feeds by offering two ways of ingesting live feeds: Atomos hardware and the Mavis Pro Camera (which has been used by the likes of the BBC, ITV and Reuters, among others). This dual approach empowers users with seamless connectivity and greater accessibility to diverse sources. The third way of ingesting remains feeds which are already in the cloud as SRT.

Mavis 2.0 introduces state-of-the-art audio and communication features, allowing seamless co-ordination among production teams. With integration directly into Atomos hardware, a dedicated talkback app and auto mix minus, a director can talk seamlessly with camera operators and talent from anywhere on the planet.

In addition, two independent video playback inputs (which are additional to camera inputs) allow users to switch between pre-recorded content, ensuring a smooth and engaging production from start to finish. Finally, Mavis 2.0 provides up to 32 audio inputs, accommodating even the most demanding production setups.
