IBC 2026: Evertz Adds DreamCatcher and BRAVO Live Production Capabilities to evertz.io

At IBC 2026, Evertz, a player in broadcast and media technology solutions, showcased the expansion of its evertz.io SaaS product portfolio with the integration of Evertz BRAVO and DreamCatcher live production and instant replay media engines.With the addition of these engines, evertz.io can deliver an end-to-end media cloud pipeline spanning content ingest and production through stream creation, playout and distribution.

Broadcasters and rights holders face growing demand for live content while managing available budgets, facilities and production crews. Evertz live production engines address this challenge by decoupling production capabilities from physical infrastructure. Switching, mixing, graphics and replay toolsets typically deployed on premises can now be spun up within evertz.io for an individual event.

Live Production and Replay in the Cloud
BRAVO provides integrated switching, audio mixing, graphics and multiviewer functions to support a variety of event types. By bringing these production capabilities into evertz.io, broadcasters and rights holders can deploy the resources needed for a live event without requiring dedicated on-premises production infrastructure.

DreamCatcher adds replay, slow-motion and highlight workflows to the same platform, with content instantly shareable between production, playout and distribution.

Together, BRAVO and DreamCatcher extend evertz.io beyond media transport and distribution, connecting live production and replay with the broader cloud-based media workflow.

Flexible Deployment and Economics
Cloud-deployed engines are available on flexible commercial terms, allowing customers to spin production resources up for an event and spin them down when it ends.

This gives broadcasters and rights holders the ability to align production resources more closely with individual events and operational requirements, shifting live production from a capital infrastructure project toward a more flexible operating model.

Connecting Ground and Cloud Workflows
Support for SRT, Zixi, RIST and AWS Media Services enables the live production engines to interconnect across ground, cloud and contribution networks with broadcast-grade timing and redundancy.

This native IP and hybrid connectivity allows production, playout and distribution resources to operate as part of a connected workflow while giving customers flexibility in where different parts of the production are deployed.
