EVS unveils latest Xeebra innovations
at NAB Show
2025
Cutting-edge video review technology with
AI-powered offside detection and portable version for
teams
Liège, Belgium | Thursday,
March 20, 2025
EVS,
globally recognized as a leader in live video technology for broadcast and new
media productions, will showcase the latest enhancements to its industry-leading
multi-camera review system, Xeebra®, at NAB Show 2025 in Las Vegas. Xeebra has
been specifically designed to empower sports officials with the tools they need
to make the right call, providing a seamless and intuitive review
experience.
With
its proven reliability and superior quality, Xeebra enables officials to swiftly
select and playback multiple camera angles in slow motion, all in perfect
synchronization. The intuitive touchscreen interface allows users to zoom in
with simple touch and pinch gestures for a more detailed analysis of the action.
Built on the same robust technology as EVS's world-renowned live replay systems,
Xeebra leverages decades of expertise in live sports broadcasting to provide
officials with a trusted and reliable multi-camera review solution. FIFA and
FIBA certified, the system is currently deployed across 13 different sports,
including soccer, basketball, auto racing, cycling, rugby, sailing, and
horseracing.
At
NAB Show 2025, EVS will introduce several new features that enhance Xeebra's
flexibility and performance. The latest version now supports SMPTE ST 2110, SRT
(Secure Reliable Transport), and NDI (Network Device Interface) protocols,
enabling greater interoperability and improved remote operations. Officials will
also benefit from the ability to review more camera angles simultaneously,
thanks to increased channel density that supports up to 16 channels in SDI, or
16 channels in SMPTE ST 2110 (100 Gbps), in Full HD resolution. This increased
channel capacity allows for more angles to be reviewed simultaneously, enhancing
the accuracy of decision-making.
One
of the most exciting new features to be demonstrated at the NAB Show is the
AI-assisted Video Offside Line (VOL), which dramatically speeds up the
positioning of the offside line in soccer. By reducing the time needed to make
crucial offside decisions, this AI-driven technology helps referees make the
right call faster, ultimately improving the fan experience by ensuring fairer
and more accurate rulings.
"Xeebra
has earned the trust of officials across numerous disciplines because of its
proven reliability and speed," said Nicolas Moreau, Senior Program Manager,
PowerVision at EVS. "With these latest enhancements, we're reinforcing our
commitment to delivering a best-in-class multi-camera review system that helps
professionals make accurate decisions faster."
In
addition to the advancements in Xeebra, EVS will also introduce Xeebra Insight,
a lighter, more portable version of the system designed for coaching and medical
staff. Xeebra Insight can be deployed on laptops and tablets, allowing teams to
review and analyze action from multiple angles in real time. This innovation
provides invaluable support in adapting game strategies and making critical
on-field injury assessments, further expanding Xeebra's impact beyond
officiating.
Systems
integrators, service providers, sports league representatives, and members of
the press attending NAB Show 2025 are invited to experience Xeebra firsthand at
the EVS booth (#3316) in hall South Lower. Live demonstrations will showcase how
Xeebra's latest features are helping professionals make faster, more accurate
decisions, ultimately elevating the quality of competition across a wide range
of
sports. |
