EVS Embeds AI for Deblurring, Player Tracking, and Vertical Reframing
At NAB 2026, EVS unveiled AI-driven upgrades across its production portfolio, including an AI deblur feature for its Xeebra officiating platform and cinematic effects for XtraMotion super slow-motion. Its LSM-VIA system now uses AI object recognition for player tracking and automated reframing into vertical formats. The company also launched Choreon, a unified orchestration layer for its new T-Motion robotics brand.
Key Takeaways
- XtraMotion super slow-motion now includes cinematic effects, applied in under 3 seconds, and an AI deblur function.
- The LSM-VIA replay system uses AI object recognition to track players and automatically reframe wide-angle 4K feeds into vertical formats.
- Xeebra's officiating platform gains a one-touch AI deblur feature, which EVS describes as a unique feature on the market.
- EVS consolidated its robotics acquisitions (XD Motion, Telemetrics) under the new T-Motion brand, controlled by a unified orchestration layer called Choreon.
Why It Matters
EVS is embedding AI to automate specific tasks within live production, rather than offering it as a standalone tool. Functions like automated vertical reframing on LSM-VIA and one-touch deblur on Xeebra aim to reduce operator load and speed up content versioning for social platforms. This strategy integrates post-production-style effects directly into the live environment. The consolidation of robotics under Choreon similarly points to a focus on simplifying complex operations. The key metric to watch will be adoption rates for these AI features in major sports broadcasts, like F1's use of XtraMotion's cinematic effects.
