Further to that...
In my experience EVS codecs tend to be set to either prores 422 (8 bit) or dnx120 .... Depending on wether truck was last used with fcp or avid. But they might also be set to dvcprohd or avc-intra or mjpeg or....
Last job I did I brought along mbp / ioexpress and played in baseband, easier all round.
EVS ops can then set as key/fill combo (takes 2 playback channels, typically spot box under TD control)
Speak to the remote truck or TD and ask them...
