Adder Technology showcased their IP KVM solutions and API advancements for media and broadcast workflows at IBC this year, with brand new partnerships with EVS Cerebrum and Elgato's Streamdeck Studio.
While KVM technology gives operators the freedom to access the right tools at the right time, EVS Cerebrum, the broadcast control and monitoring system, acts like a central nervous system to ensure that the tools work in harmony to create the best possible workflows for optimized production. By providing operators and engineers with a single and intuitive interface to orchestrate, monitor, and manage every part of the production chain, live shows are made easy, especially with an array of customisable options.
Cerebrum is also built to handle the complexities of today’s hybrid SDI and IP environments, scaling from compact OB trucks to large broadcast centres. By consolidating hundreds of devices into one customisable platform, production teams have the speed, confidence, and reliability they need for their workflows to keep live broadcasts running flawlessly. Broadcasters benefit from a future-proof model that can adapt as new devices and systems are introduced.
Bringing Adder and EVS Cerebrum Together
Individually, KVM systems and broadcast control platforms each solve critical challenges in live production. But when combined, they create the ultimate operator experience. IP KVM solutions like the ADDERLink® INFINITY range give operators instant, pixel-perfect access to any machine on the network without being tied to physical hardware. At the same time, software like the EVS Cerebrum control system orchestrates the entire production chain, unifying routing, tally, monitoring and device control.
The connection point is the Adder API. Through API integration, Cerebrum doesn’t just orchestrate broadcast devices, it also communicates with the KVM, ensuring everything stays in sync. If an operator switches a source in Cerebrum, the KVM routing is automatically updated too, so the operator is always looking at the right machine, on the right screen, at the right time. This API-driven integration translates into smoother workflows, faster decision making, and fewer opportunities for human error. Operators can entirely focus on the production in front of them, with confidence that the underlying technology is working together to keep the broadcast running seamlessly.
