Haivision Systems Inc. (TSX: HAI) and Belgian broadcast technology firm EVS have announced a joint live demonstration at IBC2026 in Amsterdam, showcasing a 5G-enabled remote production workflow connecting the IBC show floor with EVS headquarters in Liège, nearly 250 kilometres away. The demonstration integrates Haivision's bonded cellular transmitters with EVS's robotic camera control systems to deliver broadcast-grade live production over public and private 5G networks. The collaboration signals growing momentum for scalable, cost-efficient remote production infrastructure, a key focus area for broadcasters worldwide.

Key Points

  • Haivision Systems Inc. (TSX: HAI) partnered with EVS for a live demonstration at IBC2026
  • The workflow links Amsterdam and Liège via bonded 5G cellular video contribution and robotic camera control
  • Key technologies include the Haivision Pro460 5G video transmitter, StreamHub receiver, and EVS Choreon unified robotic controller
  • Investors may be watching how the partnership advances Haivision's positioning in the remote production and 5G contribution market

5G Workflow Bridges Amsterdam and Liège for Live Remote Camera Operation

The joint demonstration links the EVS stand at IBC2026 in Amsterdam with EVS headquarters in Liège, Belgium, nearly 250 kilometres away. The workflow enables real-time Pan/Tilt/Zoom/Focus and painting colorimetry control of motorised production assets using the Haivision Pro460 5G video transmitter, the Haivision StreamHub receiver, and the EVS Choreon unified robotic controller. The release states the integration is described as a first-of-its-kind deployment combining bonded cellular video contribution with broadcast-grade robotic camera control across that distance over public and private 5G networks.

EVS and Haivision Executives Highlight Scalability and Live Production Reliability

Benoit Dentan, Vice President of T-Motion Robotics Solution at EVS, stated in the release that integrating the Choreon robotic controller with Haivision's 5G contribution technology demonstrates that broadcasters can operate precision robotics from virtually anywhere with the responsiveness live environments demand. Jean-Marc Racine, Chief Product Officer and EVP Broadcast at Haivision, described 5G cellular bonding as capable of becoming a "true production backbone," enabling flexibility, automation, and new creative possibilities. Both executives framed the demonstration as a practical step toward fully connected, automated production workflows scalable across studios, venues, and continents.

IBC2026 Demonstration Opens Door to Flexible, Cost-Efficient Broadcast Workflows

The companies indicated that public and private 5G networks can function as a unified production fabric, supporting low-latency, resilient connectivity for remote monitoring, control, and contribution of live production elements. The release suggests the workflow is designed to reduce on-site resource requirements while maintaining precision for live events. Visitors to IBC2026 can view the demonstration at the EVS stand in Hall 7, stand 7.B11. The immediate share price impact was not clear from available public information. Financial terms of the collaboration were not disclosed in the announcement.
