INDUSTRY EVS expands business

Smode upgrades Smode Tech, the company behind the powerful real-time compositing and media- server platform Smode, proudly announces the release of Smode V10, the latest version of its platform. This update marks the beginning of the new V10 cycle, aiming to gradually unlock the new mixer workflow step by step with each new 10.x release. This latest update has been optimised for enhanced performance and frame- accuracy for complex scenarios and brings users a wealth of new features. Notably, an integration with Touch Designer now allows .tox files to be imported as generative layers or layer modifiers in any project or Smode composition. The new Companion plug-in enables users to control any show, even in a multiple-Smode-server configuration, by using a Stream Deck. Smode Tech’s new V10 software also introduces the Widget Editor, allowing users to create custom command interfaces with a simple drag-and-drop functionality within Smode. This new feature opens up new possibilities for encoding, show operation and enables users to create their own editor.

The first was its acquisition of MOG Technologies, a strategic move that enhances EVS’s portfolio with state-of-the-art file- based and software-defined video solutions. This acquisition enables EVS to immediately broaden its premium live-production ecosystem by expanding its file-based ingest and transcoding capabilities. Its second move was to become a shareholder in Tinkerlist, a leading innovator in the media- production industry. It is known for its development of Cuez, the world’s first cloud-based rundown management system. Pre-production workflows are increasingly linked to live production and Tinkerlist emphasises the importance of adopting efficient digital tools in the production chain.
