EVS Broadcast: Panorama picks EVS systems throu...

Liège, Belgium, October 25, 2011, EVS (Euronext Brussels: EVS.BR, Bloomberg: EVS
BB,  Reuters:  EVSB.BR)  (Pinksheets:  EVBEF),  the leading manufacturer of live
broadcast  and media production systems, is announcing the signature of a multi-
million  deal  with  Russian  OB  facility  company  Panorama  to  provide  high
definition  production servers and associated  content production and management
solutions.

Panorama,  initially  Ano  Sports  Broadcasting  is  the largest Russian unified
facility  company, created in  December 2009 by Channel  One, VGTRK, NTV and RIA
News.  It has commissioned the integration of several new high definition mobile
production  units (Outside Broadcast  - "OB" vans)  to Sony Professional Europe.
The new fleet will be composed by 12 OB units of different sizes ranging between
10 and  24 cameras, and including the  best-of-breed technologies from different
broadcast  and media industry suppliers. The  choice of Panorama for EVS servers
and  live controllers as a standard solution  for their new mobile units results
from the extreme reliability combined with the live oriented architecture of EVS
technologies. In addition, EVS was the only system provider to guarantee such as
fast  level of technology implementation while guarantying a large acceptance of
its  solutions  by  broadcast  specialists  and advanced operators. The complete
solution  comprises  an  extended  range  of  EVS products including the new XT3
production   and  media  server,  removable  storage  system  XF2  and  advanced
production  content management system IPDirector. As  part of the deal, EVS will
also  train more than  1,500 operators in Russia,  creating a large community of
operators in that region of the world.

Last spring, EVS got a purchase intention for equipping 12 OB Vans for an amount
exceeding  EUR 10 million in 3 tranches. The  first two similar orders have been
received in May and October 2011 and do exceed EUR 6 million together. These two
tranches  will have been  delivered in 2011. The  third tranche of commitment is
expected early 2012 for delivery in 2012.

Hugues  Lambert, Russia, Central  & Eastern Europe  Sales Manager says: "EVS has
been  active  in  Russia  for  more  than  10 years and, together with our local
partners,  we  have  successfully  implemented  large tapeless workflows such as
digital  TV  Newsrooms,  Outside  Broadcast  solutions  and  many  TV production
applications.  We  are  very  grateful  of  the  recognition  and the support of
Panorama and its founding partners, who are also the main TV stations in Russia.
This  confirms the strong development  of our company in  Russia, which has also
been  elected as host country for a few  key sporting events in the coming years
(eg.  Summer Universiades 2013 in Kazan, Winter  Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014
and Football World Cup in 2018)."
