Originally developed for the extreme and fast-paced environment of sports production, the XT is the predecessor to the current XT[2].

The XT2 loop recording process provides permanent multi-channel ingest of audio and video content from any source. The XT comes equipped with up to four record channels and up to four audio tracks available per video channel, and the ingest capacity is scalable within a network configuration. Users can instantly retrieve any clips or a recording train for live replays or transfer to post production, while channel ingest synchronization based on TC allows users to control related content recorded on any other channel.

The XT2 hardware and software were developed by highly skilled EVS engineers based on customer feedback to become the most reliable and field-proven live production solutions available. IPDirector and Multicam LSM give you complete control of the XT server for ingest, metadata  management, production network control, on-the-fly editing, media transfer, and playout. XNet allows any video or audio source recorded by any server on the network to be instantly available to all operators, without interrupting the recording process.
