XtraMotion: Redefining live replays with Generative AI

Using generative artificial intelligence, XtraMotion allows operators to effortlessly transform any type of content – whether it's live footage, archived material, or post-production clips – into stunning slow-motion sequences with just a simple button press.

Watch our video as Dennis Bertels, Product Manager at EVS, gives a brief rundown of how it works.

Traditionally, slow-motion replays have been a staple of live broadcasts, but adjusting playback speeds often sacrifices video quality. XtraMotion tackles this challenge head-on by utilizing advanced algorithms to intelligently interpolate additional frames. This technique ensures that slow-motion replays maintain exceptional clarity and fluidity, regardless of the original frame rate.

XtraMotion is remarkably intuitive for operators. With a simple shortcut button press, XtraMotion springs into action, generating interpolated frames within just five seconds, regardless of the clip's duration. This seamless integration is made possible by the smart configuration of VIA Xsquare in the backend, ensuring a smooth and streamlined workflow for operators. XtraMotion's integration with VIA-XSquare ensures that multiple operators can push clips to XtraMotion simultaneously, with each job processed efficiently and returned to the correct operator in a timely manner.

One key aspect of XtraMotion is its versatility. Not only does it support regular frame rate cameras, but it also embraces native super motion content. This means that existing cameras can be transformed to capture moments with unparalleled detail and clarity, elevating the viewing experience to new heights.

Moreover, XtraMotion seamlessly integrates into any production environment, supporting a wide range of content formats from HD to UHD HDR. Whether it's accessing archived footage or revitalizing existing content with a touch of super slow-motion, XtraMotion breathes new life into every frame.
