TV 2, one of the largest commercial TV stations in Norway, is relying on tapeless technology from EVS for its studio productions.
“Golden Goal,” a comedic talk show about sports, was developed by Norwegian production company Rubicon TV and produced in TV 2’s Oslo studio. To record, edit, store and playback “Golden Goal,” TV 2 has implemented a solution that includes an HD-ready XT[2] production server for ingest and playout, Multicam LSM software for clipping and on-the-fly editing, an XF[2] removable storage server with XFile software for archiving ISO cameras and transferring clips, and a Final Cut Pro editing station for final edits.
Each week, a guest interview is recorded on the XT[2] server and subsequently edited with Final Cut Pro on a MacBook. Once the interview is complete, the show is recorded “live to tape” with four ISO cameras on the XT[2]. Rough-cut edits are created using Multicam LSM and transferred on the XF[2] for editing on Final Cut Pro. The interview and the different sequences of the program are then restored from the Final Cut Pro to the XT[2] and assembled with Multicam LSM prior to playout on TV 2 Zebra.
