EVS has launched Choreon, a robotics control platform intended to bring multiple camera-motion systems under one interface. It supports PTZ cameras, robotic heads, tracks, elevators, rovers, jibs and cable-camera systems.

The software adds AI-assisted framing, path planning and motion functions, alongside haptic feedback and safety controls for operators. The goal is to reduce the number of separate control stations and programming methods required on a complex production.

Why it matters

Robotics are expanding beyond fixed studio pedestals into sports and entertainment venues. A shared control layer can make moves repeatable and reduce training, provided safety constraints remain explicit and vendor integrations are dependable.

What still needs checking

AI-assisted motion does not remove the need for supervised safety zones and rehearsals. The supported-device matrix, fail-safe behaviour and shipping timeline should be confirmed for each robotic system.
