KEEP CONTROL OVER
YOUR ONAIR PROGRAM
FULL VIRTUAL CLIPPING
& STORYBOARDING
Based on XT3 audio video channels
technology, AirEdit allows to monitor live
program feeds at any moment. On-air
programs can be kept under control
and modified if necessary to cope with
the Station or the country’s regulations
they are airing their programs to. Fixing
operations such as replacing content,
insert commercials linked to appropriate
regions, can be managed in a second with
the timeline editing capabilities.
Local content to be inserted in the
incoming feed can be ingested in the EVS
server from tapes – using IPDirector’s
batch digitizing tools – or from multi-
format files that will be conformed on
the fly to the playout format.
An input channel records the live feed in a
permanent loop-mode. Using the intuitive
control panel controlling the production
servers’ channels, the operator swiftly
defines clips to be removed or, with the
same ease, inserts pre-recorded material.
Time delay is kept constant when
replacing commercials of pre-determined
durations. Rubber-banding operations are
also possible, increasing delay as content
is being inserted without removing
original. Delay can also be decreased
if content is removed without being
replaced. An alarm system is available to
warn the operator if the delay is becoming
too short. A second input is available as
an option to ingest newly-produced jingles
or commercials, for which frame accurate
VTR control is provided.

OPERATIONS
It is possible to benefit from the
combination of two AirEdit modules and
the 8-channel XT3 production server.
Two separate feeds can be ingested into
the XT3 with two operators controlling
each channel.
