From a quick google:
EVS adds XDCam codec to XT3 and XS broadcast servers
Leading broadcast production provider, EVS, goes native with industry standard Sony XDCam codec from the end of 2012
Liège, 11 April 2012 – EVS, a leading provider of broadcast and media production systems for sports, news and TV entertainment, has announced native support for Sony XDCAM 422 50Mbps HD codec in its flagship XT3 and XS suite of live and near-live broadcast production servers. The production technology specialist developed an integrated module to its XT3 and XS servers, offering native XDCAM encoding and decoding capabilities - the leading codec of choice for a range of studio productions. The new XDCam support capability will be available from the end of 2012.
Now the question is if this is a paid option module. My gut says they would charge for this extra feature but I don't know for sure. My impression is EVS isn't in the business of charity when it comes to adding new features so it would seem prudent to check with the TD or Truck EIC to see if this capability is implemented at a venue.

My impression at the time and what I've heard from a sports director friend is that it depends on what options a particular EVS unit has. Perhaps they all support the DNX and or ProRes now. I'll see what I can find out about EVS and XDCam support. I see some googling in my future while my last output is going to tape. Ahhhhh the comfort of Tape. Oh well back to reality.

I've had to send HDCam reels with fill and alpha on different tapes so they can sync roll and ingest simultaneously into the EVS. If is wasn't so close to air I'd offer that up as a suggestion. Now I have another tool in the box for next time. Of course if it wasn't for last minute changes we wouldn't have to ........... insert complaint of your choice here. ;-) It is fun to be close to live though.
