MRMC to Launch New Sports, Studio And PTZ Enablement Solutions at 2023 NAB Show
NAB 2023, stand C5325 will be MRMC Broadcast’s largest tradeshow presence to date, where we will showcase new products across our studio, PTZ enablement and Sports solutions.
PTZ Enablement Solutions
At NAB, MRMC Broadcast will highlight two new products demonstrating superior PTZ enablement.
AJS-2 Advanced Jib System
The AJS-2 Auto-Jib enhances live shots and can be deployed with either a PTZ or a robotic head, ideal for over-arching shots of crowds and live audiences or where you simply want some elevation or interesting movement. The AJS-2 captures smooth ’on-air’ movement and repeatable moves with a modular design that is extremely quick to set up and quiet and smooth to operate.
This advanced jib can be operated manually, or through a hybrid of manual and automation, where the motion paths are defined but the head or PTZ can be controlled by an operator remotely or using presets.

LLS-1 Light Lift System
The LLS-1 Light Lift System expands MRMC’s PTZ enablement solutions by adding a vertical lift. For optimum flexibility, the LLS-1 has floor, wall or ceiling mounting options available.
With a range of height configurations, the LLS-1 can comfortably capture sitting and standing shots using the floor-based option.

MRMC Polymotion Sports Solutions
Polymotion Relay
NAB will mark the launch of Polymotion Relay, a cost-effective, single-operator, multi-camera control solution for circuit-based sports. Driven by a computer vision engine, Polymotion Relay makes multi-camera production and control simple. Set up to follow the layout of a track at a predefined speed, one operator can use Polymotion Relay to manage all camera angles, making adjustments where needed to speed and framing, while the system makes intelligent modifications on-the-fly.

Polymotion Player
Complementing Polymotion Relay is Polymotion Player, an automated camera-follow-camera control solution/ The operator can remain focused on capturing key action shots through a lead camera mounted on an MRMC robotic head, such as the PTA-2B.
Go further with automation using Polymotion Player+, which uses real-time Player Tracking and powerful computer vision technology to dynamically adjust the framing of the subject and follow players on the field.

Slidekamera by MRMC
An Expansive Range of Motion Robotics
NAB 2023 will also provide the first opportunity for attendees to see Slidekamera’s innovative products integrated with MRMC solutions. The addition of Slidekamera into the MRMC fold offers producers and videographers an expansive world-beating range of motion robotics that permit creative high-precision shots with even simple robotic cameras.
On the stand, you will see the Titan Slider, Atlas Slider, Curved rail, and our full range of robotics heads in action, such as the Heavy Bullhead that is capable of housing a 20kg payload camera.

Advanced Studio Production
Virtual Teleportation
In addition to the StudioBot XL, we will also demo advanced new features in our MHC software that creates ‘virtual teleportation’.
“If you have a talent that you want to interview as if you are on-site, but can’t get them to your location, you can teleport your pundit or your guest to them,” explains Paddy Taylor, Head of Broadcast at MRMC. “It allows you to seamlessly bring remote talent into the shot or studio while maintaining camera motion, effectively creating one camera shot in two locations using IP-controlled robotics. The synchronized movement of the two cameras paired with the subjects being able to move naturally makes the illusion hyper-realistic.”
