EVS debuted Choreon at NAB, a robotics controller for media production, with a unified orchestration layer designed to bring all robotic systems into one efficient control environment.
EVS has announced the launch of Choreon, a robotics controller for media production and part of its new T-Motion solution. Making its debut at NAB 2026, Choreon introduces a unified orchestration layer that brings various robotic systems together under a single intelligent platform, supporting setups that range from compact, single-operator workflows to complex, large-scale environments with multiple robots and operators.
Choreon represents a major shift in how indoor and outdoor multi-robot environments are managed. Where operators previously relied on separate interfaces for each device, the platform enables simultaneous control of multiple robotic systems within a single workflow.
This comes with new creative possibilities, enabling smooth, complex camera movements that are difficult to achieve with traditional, isolated systems. At the same time, it reduces operational complexity, lowers the risk of human error, and improves both speed and overall production quality.
The platform supports T-Motion’s robotics portfolio, which includes PTZ cameras, robotic heads, tracks, elevators, rovers, jibs, gyro systems and the Cablecam for controlled on-air movements, as well as third-party devices for off-air positioning. These can be combined as needed within a single environment, eliminating compatibility constraints and streamlining production workflows. Choreon also supports collaborative operation, allowing multiple users to work within the same set-up to meet the scale and demands of any production.
T-motion – a Robotics Background
T-motion is the result of EVS’ acquisition of Telemetrics, a US company specializing in indoor media production robotics, announced in August 2025, and of XD Motion, a French company working with control systems for secure outdoor robotic experiences and indoor robotic arms, announced on 11 September.
The combination of these two acquisitions has opened the door to a new market for EVS. As a comprehensive range of indoor and outdoor robotics, T-Motion includes a set of integrated AI-assisted tools allowing EVS users to capture consistent, compelling live video images. It will be integrated within the EVS ecosystem to work alongside LiveCeption, MediaCeption and MediaInfra.
Human-Led Orchestration
Built on a human-led orchestration model, Choreon keeps the operators entirely in charge of the creative process. The AI-assisted features, such as automated framing, path planning and dynamic motion profiling, enhance precision and consistency while easing the operator’s workload in high-pressure live environments, always with attention to editorial intent.
Key operational parameters, such as speed, acceleration, motion curves and fine-tuning, are standardised across all connected devices. This allows operators to adjust sensitivity once and maintain the same control ‘feel’ across every system, eliminating discrepancies when switching between devices.
Engineered specifically for live production, Choreon features a high-brightness touchscreen, tactile control surface and haptic feedback for fast, intuitive operation. Safety is central to the design, with multi-sensor protection, configurable safe zones and hardware / software-based stop mechanisms, ensuring safe deployment in environments where robotic systems operate near crew, talent and audiences.
Single Integration
As a single integration point for all robotic devices, Choreon simplifies scalability, reduces integration effort and acts as a foundation for increasing automation. By removing traditional interoperability barriers, it means organisations are able to design and evolve production ecosystems tailored to their specific needs.
Users can take better advantage of studio efficiency to deliver a bigger look, even in fairly small spaces. With simple automation, a single operator can manage multiple cameras, enabling dynamic, professional coverage while optimising resources and production costs. Live sports and entertainment events in particular demand coverage that engages audiences. T-Motion’s remotely controlled robotic camera systems deliver dynamic POV shots and precise alternate angles that build up the spectator experience.
In virtual, augmented and extended reality environments, T-Motion brings precision and repeatability to complex camera movements, maintaining smooth integration with digital sets. Its automation and flexible control allow the operator to create immersive, cinematic visuals that contribute to storytelling and production value.
“Choreon represents a significant step forward in how robotic systems are deployed and managed in live production,” said Benoit Dentan, VP T-Motion Robotics Solution at EVS. “We are moving beyond controlling individual devices to truly choreographing motion across an entire production. This makes it easier for teams to expand their use of robotics while preserving the human creative control that remains essential in live storytelling.”
"The launch of Choreon comes just months after our acquisitions of Telemetrics and XD Motion," said Serge Van Herck, CEO of EVS. “It combines decades of media robotics expertise with deep live production knowledge. With T-Motion and Choreon, we are proud to realise our vision of fully integrated robotics within EVS, connecting directly with our broader live production ecosystem.” evs.com
