working with you.
The EVS XS servers are full digital in PAL (625i), NTSC (525i), 720p, 1080i, and 1080p
standards. These multi-channel, disk-based video servers are specifically designed for
studio applications, to satisfy the needs of near-live and pre-recorded studio productions.
XS servers are available in 5U chassis (2- or 4- channel configurations) or 6U chassis (4-
or 6-channel configurations). They offer flexible configurations in SD/HD or in 3D/1080p.
They support natively a wide range of codecs.
XS servers work with SAS disks: they are equipped with internal SAS disk array and/or
