EVS Broadcast Equipment
EVS Broadcast Equipment SA is a Belgian company that manufactures live outside broadcast digital video production systems.

Tapeless television production The programming of the television networks consists primarily of broadcasting prerecorded images which, until very recently, were stored on tapes.

CCTV
Closed-circuit television (CCTV), also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a specific place, on a limited set of monitors. It differs from broadcast television in that the signal is not openly transmitted, though it may employ point-to-point (P2P), point-to-multipoint (P2MP), or mesh wired or wireless links. Even though almost all video cameras fit this definition, the term is most often applied to those used for surveillance in areas that require additional security or ongoing monitoring ( Videotelephony is seldom called "CCTV"). Surveillance of the public using CCTV is common in many areas around the world.
