Outlook 2006
"The broadcast industry is undergoing a major technological evolution. EVS serves hundreds of TV stations worldwide with its high- end digital video and audio applications, especially in the field of live sports and studio productions where the company has developed leadership positions in niche markets. The migration from tape-based operations towards integrated tapeless workflows is underway and will last during the next decade. This process is accelerated by the transition from Standard Definition Television to High Definition Television because new equipment needs to interoperate with digital solutions that shall be High Definition. Hence, EVS directly benefits from two key broadcast industry drivers, i.e. HDTV and Sport. EVS has a double growth strategy for its broadcast business: first, to benefit from its Mobile TV Production leadership and transition all production trucks to HDTV over the next 6-10 years; second, to develop the Near-Live Studio Editing market for which the XT[2] platform is to become the core engine. HDTV will impact the business over a long period of time and shall follow usual equipment acquisition wave patterns."
