Key Features

AFC-100s Solution

The AFC-100s robotic camera system is a compact 6kg camera agnostic robotic head with a 15kg payload that’s suitable for a multitude of different environments – including broadcast studios, live productions, events and sports coverage. As the name suggests, the AFC 100s moves at up to 100° per second and with its high payload capacity offers support for full studio build-up kits including cameras, teleprompters and accessories.

AFC-180 Solution

The AFC-180 head offers exceptional speed and performance from a compact robotic pan tilt head. With pan speeds of up to 180° per second, the AFC-180 is absolutely ideal for faster sporting events that require high-speed panning. The AFC-180 has a slip ring enabling tangle-free camera head movements to track moving targets.

Control Panel

The Large Format Panel (LFP) is a standalone controller for a range of MRMC robotic heads. The LFP is a robust controller designed for day-in, day-out use in professional studio and Outside Broadcast environments.

 

Pan Bar Control

For live televised sports and events having the right interface is essential for successfully combining remote control and natural looking motion. MRMC’s joystick and pan bar control systems offer the best available translation of operator commands into smooth and precise camera shots.

 

Touchscreen Control

MRMC’s studio control software provides an ideal framework for today’s integrated studio environments. Multiple camera positions can be easily controlled from a single operator and pre-programmed moves and positions executable via a simple touch screen interface.

 

Easy Deployment

Integrated I/O and optional slip rings allow for easy field deployment and simplified camera cabling. Lens control of digital and manual lenses are also built-in, further reducing cable runs. Fibre and wireless interfaces are available to extend the AFC and camera RCU operating distances.

 

Third Party Integration

Integration with virtual graphics and automation systems, as well as an available API for direct control from 3rd party products and software is also supported.
