EVS has acquired French robotics company XD motion.

The transaction is scheduled to close on 1 October, when EVS will create a new offering called T-Motion, which will integrate (previously acquired) Telemetrics and XD motion.

The addition of XD motion reinforces the position of EVS in media production robotics. T-Motion will deliver a comprehensive portfolio and “introduces a new category of intelligent, integrated tools designed to help customers consistently capture the most compelling live video images whether in the studio or on the field,” says EVS.

Founded in 2011, XD motion’s expertise is in aerial filming and multi-dimensional tracking. From helicopters and planes to cable cams, robotic arms, and drones, the company has delivered live video images for prestigious events including the Olympics.

Recently the company has launched products like ARCAM IO.BOT in an attempt to bring its gyro-stabilised technology to a broader market.

As part of EVS T-Motion, XD motion’s services will continue to support major live events already covered by EVS. Several live service providers have expressed strong interest in adopting these solutions to enhance their event operations, says EVS.

EVS will work to integrate T-Motion solutions with its existing platforms, including Cerebrum, offering smarter automation, enhanced precision, and greater creative freedom.

Benoit Dentan, CEO and founder of XD motion, said: “XD motion has already begun its transformation from a service-based company to a product-driven innovator, as demonstrated by key deployments across the US and Western Europe. Joining forces with EVS and merging with Telemetrics under the T-Motion banner is a natural next step in our journey. I’m thrilled to be part of this new chapter, where we combine our strengths to create a global leader in live broadcast robotics. Together, we’ll deliver smarter, more dynamic solutions that empower customers to elevate their productions and unlock new creative possibilities.”

Serge Van Herck, CEO of EVS, added: “At EVS, our mission has always been to empower our customers to deliver the most compelling live experiences. With the acquisition of both Telemetrics and XD motion and the creation of T-Motion, we’re expanding the boundaries of what’s possible in live production in studios and in stadiums, for sports and any type of live events. By integrating the cutting-edge robotics expertise of Telemetrics and XD motion into our ecosystem, we’re giving our customers and channel partners access to smarter, more flexible, and more immersive storytelling tools. Whether it’s capturing the perfect live video images with precision robotics or enhancing production workflows with AI-driven automation, T-Motion will help our customers elevate their content while optimising operational reliability and efficiency.”
