XD motion stands at the forefront of innovation, delivering specialty camera systems and cutting-edge robotics that redefine how audiences experience live events. Based in France, the company empowers broadcasters and event organizers to capture truly dynamic and immersive visuals, placing spectators at the heart of the action. Whether viewed in-venue or from home, XD motion’s technology ensures a captivating and engaging visual journey.
Its comprehensive offerings include premier gyro-stabilized systems (GSS), versatile helicopters, cablecam systems, and intelligent robotic platforms. These tools are pivotal in creating unique viewing angles and perspectives that significantly enhance the spectator experience. XD motion’s expertise has been instrumental in the coverage of numerous prestigious global events, including Football and Rugby World Cups, major international tennis tournaments, World Athletics (IAAF) and Swimming (FINA) championships, World Equestrian Games, World Rowing Championships, UEFA Euro and Champions League football, as well as the UCI MTB World Series and UCI Track Champions League, consistently delivering visuals that thrill and engage audiences worldwide.
Dynamic shots: from the studio to the heart of the action
XD motion enhances the spectator experience through two distinct but complementary approaches. For capturing the raw excitement of live sports directly from the venue, systems like the versatile X fly cablecams (3D, 1D, Mini, Micro), agile drones, and helicopters provide unparalleled aerial and motion-filled perspectives. These solutions are designed to follow the fast- paced nature of sports, offering viewers dynamic shots that immerse them in the competition. In studio environments, for sports analysis, or where space is limited, XD motion deploys sophisticated robotic solutions like the ARCAM. This system excels in delivering smooth, precise camera work.
It can automate camera movements using advanced real-time tracking technology, allowing cameras to follow presenters or virtual elements seamlessly. For maximum versatility in studio setups, an optional dolly can support the ARCAM arm in various orientations, including upside down. Furthermore, the ARCAM and IO.BOT control software seamlessly integrate with common 3D engines, pushing the boundaries of virtual production by enabling dynamic camera work and flawless blending of on-screen talent with virtual environments. This allows for highly engaging and visually rich sports programming, all efficiently managed to ensure superior production quality.
Crafting the Future of Fan Viewership
XD motion is committed to advancing how sports are visually presented, constantly innovating to deepen the connection between the event and the spectator. By understanding the unique demands of sports broadcasting – from capturing high-speed action to creating engaging studio segments with advanced virtual elements – the company develops tailored solutions.
This includes robust systems for outdoor events that deliver reliable performance in all conditions, and highly precise, automated systems for controlled studio environments, enhancing analytical and interactive content. The focus is always on empowering broadcasters and content creators to produce more engaging narratives and provide fans with a richer, more insightful viewing experience. XD motion actively collaborates with sports organizations to integrate these technologies seamlessly, helping to shape a future where every fan has the best seat in the house, regardless of their location.
