Evertz

What Evertz does

Evertz Microsystems is a Canadian-headquartered, publicly listed (TSX: ET) global manufacturer of broadcast equipment and solutions, founded in 1967 and operating across three divisions: a core broadcast division (evertz.com), an EvertzAV infrastructure division targeting corporate, government, defense, education, medical, finance, utilities, and transportation markets, and a Cloud Video Division (evertz.io) for direct-to-consumer streaming. The company designs and sells hardware and software for professional media production, routing, processing, and distribution, serving television networks, broadcasters, satellite operators, telcos, sports leagues and venues, live event producers, and educational institutions worldwide. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, augmented by a global network of sales agents and international partners, with quote-based pricing and no public list pricing.

The product portfolio follows a platform-plus-modules architecture: routing platforms (NEXX, EQX, ENX), live production suites (DreamCatcher with BRAVO collaborative production), control and orchestration (MAGNUM-OS, VUE, VistaLINK PRO), remote production (SCORPION), and audio (Studer). Technology is anchored in IP-based broadcast infrastructure supporting SMPTE ST 2110 and IPMX standards, with extensive patent coverage across video processing, routing, compression (J2K/XPS/ITXE), RF, and audio. Recent launches include BRAVO-BLADE (multi-program live production with AI-assisted tools), evertz.io XChange (cloud-native orchestration for live media and IP streaming), and IPMX-certified NUCLEUS and MMA platforms for AV-over-IP interoperability. The wholly-owned subsidiary Ease Live provides interactive streaming overlay technology for sports and entertainment.

Revenue combines hardware sales (routers, multiviewers, encoders, decoders, fiber transport, timing/synchronization) with recurring streams: software subscriptions (annual license + auto-renewing subscription license), extended hardware warranty (up to 5 years plus 2-year LTE), and professional services (VUE design remote/onsite). Marketing emphasizes industry events (NAB, ISE, InfoComm Asia, SVG LIVE!, BVS Media Connect) and direct enterprise engagement. Named enterprise customers include Cleveland Cavaliers, AMC Networks, Mediaset, Rogers Sportsnet, M6 Groupe, RAI, Czech Television, Baylor University, Grand Ole Opry, and the Metropolitan Opera, spanning broadcasting, sports, education, music, opera, and racing verticals.
