Talk:EVS Broadcast Equipment

Tags on article
I removed the advertisement statement. I wrote big part of the article. I know it sounds a little bit like this but I read Microsoft or Apple articles and I don't know if the style is so different. You have to know that EVS is in the broadcasting sport domain as important as Microsoft in IT.

I invite everybody to re-write this article (I'm working now for EVS, so it's difficult for me) but the 'Advertisement' tag lets people believe that article is exagerated which is not the case, I think.

Thanks for your understanding.

 * Please provide independent, reliable sources. Those awards sound as if they demonstrate notability, but some of them must be documented in third-party websites, trade journals etc – that's what we need to be cited here. – Fayenatic (talk) 15:33, 17 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Fayenatic, I put independent, reliable sources as requested, tell me if it's ok. Cheers.--CRJO-CRJO (talk) 10:33, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, it's an improvement as some of them went to independent sources, but others are still links to EVS, and at least one of those is a dead link. I removed the last one as it was a duplicate. Please see WP:CHEAT for a quick guide to formatting links, but if you just provide the links, others may be willing to format them properly. – Fayenatic L (talk) 21:18, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for helping me. I've added more references, we have plenty of them in EVS... and the big advantage is that we have a press coverage on our website :-) Many thanks anyway. Cheers, --CRJO-CRJO (talk) 08:49, 1 March 2012 (UTC)


 * Now that you are becoming a more frequent editor, it would be appreciated if you would format your own citations following the layout of the others in the article.
 * Would you be able to help further by improving the page Non-linear editing system? That should help with providing citations for the brief history and current state of the industry which you have included in the EVS article. – Fayenatic L ondon (talk) 17:36, 10 May 2012 (UTC)

Updates
Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I've just made a change to the Company History section, adding Serge Van Herck as the new CEO. There are some other parts on the company's page that are quite outdated (such as products that are no longer for sale), so it's likely there'll be more update to follow soon. Please let me know if you have any questions, and if you have other suggestions on how to improve the accuracy of the information that is provided. Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sravenedits (talk • contribs) 15:13, 3 December 2019 (UTC)

Proposed changes
Hello,

Starting a new section here to propose changes that will help improve the accuracy of EVS Broadcast Equipment's page.

I've already made a couple of corrections to the current page, and have received a COI message to warn me about any further editing. I am indeed employed by the company itself, and am looking to update the information that is provided.

I've informed myself on the best approach, and rather than making the changes directly in the article, I'm writing some suggestions below that I hope you will look into. Please let me know if you have any questions or if you need more details on any of these changes.

Thank you and speak to you soon

Proposed changes:

- Delete: "EVS Broadcast Equipment SA is a Belgian company that manufactures live outside broadcast digital video production systems. Their XT-VIA production video servers enable the creation, editing, exchange and playout of audio and video feeds."

- Replace the above introduction by: "EVS Broadcast Equipment SA, also known as EVS, specializes in live production technology and live video content management solutions for sports, esports, entertainment and news environments.

Founded in 1994, their innovative Live Slow Motion system revolutionized live broadcasting and their technology is now widely used in nonlinear editing and High Definition Television across the television broadcast market worldwide.

The company is headquartered in Liège, Belgium and employs 477 FTE (Q4 2018) people in offices across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and North America. There are five development centers located in Liège, Brussels, Toulouse, Paris, and Darmstadt."

- Delete the entire "Tapeless television production" section, as it is no longer relevant.

 * The requested changes could not be implemented for two reasons:
 * 1) The phrasing of the lead section includes promotional verbiage (e.g., "solutions", and "their innovative live slow-motion system").
 * 2) The claims regarding the company's location and employee counts are unreferenced.

Important update: Axon acquisition
Hello everyone,

There is an important update that I think should be added to improve the page. I'm currently working at the company, so I'm unable to implement those changes myself.

May 1, 2020: acquisition of Axon (broadcast and media network infrastructure specialist), see sources below:

- Devoncroft: "Analysis: EVS acquisition of Axon" (https://devoncroft.com/2020/05/01/analysis-of-evs-acquisition-of-axon/) - La Libre.be: "EVS met la main sure Axon" (https://www.lalibre.be/economie/entreprises-startup/evs-met-la-main-sur-axon-5eabf73dd8ad580d3d87bc7a) - SVG News: "Axon sold to EVS in $11.5 million deal" (https://www.sportsvideo.org/2020/05/01/axon-sold-to-evs-in-11-5-million-deal/) - Yahoo! Finance: "EVS Broadcast Equipment: EVS complements its live production solution portfolio by acquiring broadcast network infrastructure specialist AXON" (https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/evs-broadcast-equipment-evs-complements-070000953.html)

Thank you. Sravenedits (talk) 13:07, 27 May 2020 (UTC)

Origin of the name of the company?
Why was the company named EVS? Do the three letters mean anything? 87.75.117.183 (talk) 19:38, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
