Success of IBC & New DVD Showreel
Having now exhibited at IBC for 10 successive years Mark Roberts
Motion Control’s IBC exhibit this year was a great success. Especially
the showing of the new DVD showreel which received a lot of visitor
attention. Of particular interest was the new Motion Control Tutorial
filmed at CCI, MRMC’s
west coast sister company. This explains with examples, how to program a
motion control shot, the different types of effects one can create and
their names, and is practically suitable for anyone from 9-90 years of
age. If you would like a copy of the DVD send us an email
showreel@mrmoco.com. The DVD proved so successful that there
are plans to add further tutorials in the future.
A
copy of the Mark Roberts, IBC press-release is available here in pdf
format. |

Ulti-head New Features Shown
Also on display at IBC was the new
Pan-Tilt Ulti-head
which now has dramatically improved features. These include built-in
power electronics for 6 DC motors (for use on any axis such as Pan,
Tilt, Zoom, Focus, Iris, Camera, Track, Lift, model movers etc.) as well
as an Arri Moco interface built-in for direct control of 435 Advanced
and Extreme. This allows for camera-ramping, shutter compensation,
animation and time-lapse with these cameras. The Ulti-head features also
include general purpose inputs and outputs for interfacing to other
studio equipment as well as serial ports for virtual studio
applications. If you are interested in renting or purchasing the new Ulti-head feel free to request more info from
info@mrmoco.com |

New Lens Control Motors
IBC also gave MRMC the opportunity to show off the new Lens Control
Motors. Based on customer requirements these motors are faster and more
powerful than any previous model while at the same time being smaller,
"sexier", and costing 40% less than the previous version. On display was
an eye-catching purple model but like the Ulti-head it can be provided
in any colour including Standard Black.Go to our
