It consists of the Eva Automation Main module, and modules:- Playlist (DigiPlaylist), Capture (DigiCapture), Opec (DigiOpec), Maintenance (DigiManut), Maintenance Remote (DigiManut Remote) and TimeDelay (DigiDelay). Each of these modules are separate application which facilitates news implementations and maintenance.
All modules communicates directly with servers control services, VTRs, Switchers and GPI´s during execution of their tasks.
The Eva Automation system can be configured to operate in redundancy. We can have redundancy of playlists operation and / or redundancy of means.
Media redundancy can also be performed by proprietary applications of the video server manufacturer, such as the K2 GrassVally Isync.

The SNT Network Station in Paraguay was the first Latin America TV Broadcast Station to implement the Victor Eva Automation System to control it´s Grass Valley K2 Summit Vídeo Servers with redundancy and mirroring, Program schedulling, News & Promos & & Commercial Operations (OPEC) integration with the OnAir video servers.

The EvaAutomation.exe application loads the main module that is responsible for managing the other modules and initializing the management services of the video servers, VTs, switcher and GPIs. It allows to access to the menus for the various configurations of the system such as data redundancy and spots, auxiliary registers like categories, modalities, users, etc. All system setups are performed in the setup menu.
The media and data redundancy are configured through its respective menu.

Playlist module performs all spot playout control operations. Several of these modules can be configured to control one or more playout channels of the video servers configured in the system. Resources of remote offline playlist mode for later upload to one or more playlist modules. With this resource you can access the spots register remotely or locally.

 Ingest module live captures vídeo through the SDI HD/SD inputs  including resource to remote control a VTR connected to the system.

 Edition module is a framed resource to trim video spot files between  MarkIn and MarkOut pre setted points, removing undesired frames.

 Configuration module for the Andromeda Victor Video Server . Andromeda is a Matrox video card based server and in this module all it´s  paramters are fitted to client needs. Some of these parameters are input/output video resolution, aspect ratio, audio channels, timing, genlock  adjustment, card model, etc.

 Commercial Remote Playlist module works on a remote machine located on the sales department . This machine has a network connection  with a selectede server on the net , access of it´s video data files and has the resource to generate, add and edit playlist of any date off the air.

Eva Automation Exhibition Proof module generate reports of all categorized played commercial, promos, institucional.
Reports can be generated by dates, codes, spots description, internal order, client, etc.

K2 Summit Operation playlist operation being controled by the EVA Automation software in the network environment

K2 Summit Time Delay module of the EVA Automation software tha has the resource of in real time record live video files and simultaneously play these recorded files at any delayd time. Andromeda Vídeo Server has this same resource when controled by EVA Automation.
