What Telemetrics does
Telemetrics Inc., founded in 1973 and headquartered in Allendale, New Jersey, was a U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of robotic camera systems used in professional broadcast, live production, and government applications. The company's core offerings included the PT series of robotic pan-tilt heads with ultra-quiet servo motors, TeleGlide floor- and ceiling-mounted track systems for traveling shots, and Televator elevating pedestals for height changes with absolute precision. These systems addressed the operational limits of human camera operators, delivering repeatable motion and enabling studios to extend coverage while controlling crew costs. Customer segments included broadcast studios, corporate event producers, houses of worship, sports and entertainment venues, and legislative bodies — verticals where unmanned or single-operator operation is prized.
In October 2025, Telemetrics was acquired by EVS Broadcast Equipment SA for an initial payment of $6.5 million plus potential earn-outs up to $6.2 million, and was integrated into EVS's newly formed T-Motion media production robotics division. Under T-Motion, Telemetrics's traditional hardware has been combined with EVS's earlier XD Motion acquisition (Arcam 6-axis robotic arms, OmniGlide AI-enabled roving platform, Telescope robotic jib) and orchestrated through Choreon, a unified robotic controller. Distribution shifted from a North America-only footprint to EVS's global enterprise sales and channel partner network, and marketing now spans corporate events, news production, sports venues, flypack/outside broadcast, and stadium in-venue applications.
The standalone company generated revenue through hardware sales of robotic camera equipment into broadcast and adjacent verticals; product pricing is not publicly disclosed. As of October 2025, Telemetrics no longer operates as an independent entity, having become a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVS, and its growth trajectory is now expressed through the T-Motion division rather than as a standalone company.
