EVS has announced the launch of an upgrade for its XtraMotion solution.
Driven by generative AI, XtraMotion 3.0 includes two new replay effects. Deblur aims to eliminate motion blur from fast-moving cameras while the new Cinematic effect provides a film-like aesthetic by simulating a shallow depth of field. Designed to expand creative possibilities for sports broadcasters, both effects are provided under a single licence.

According to EVS, XtraMotion 3.0 also delivers a reduction in processing time, enabling application of the super slow-motion effect in under three seconds, even when utilising Deblur. The feature allows production teams to integrate replays into live broadcasts without disrupting the action’s flow, said the company.
Integrating into the EVS LiveCeption replay and highlights tool, operators can apply the chosen effects directly from the LSM-VIA controller, streamlining workflows and allowing teams to focus on storytelling.
XtraMotion’s generative AI reduces the need for specialised cameras, converting standard footage into super slow-motion, deblurred or cinematic-style clips.
Jan Mokallai, VP live production solutions at EVS, commented, “With its full suite of creative effects, XtraMotion 3.0 truly showcases how generative AI can be used in live production to engage audiences in a more immersive way. We’re excited to offer a tool that delivers exceptional speed and quality while remaining cost-effective, enabling sports broadcasters of all sizes to create high-impact, professional-grade content that engages viewers on another level.”
