Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), a Nikon company, is to present its largest-ever product lineup at NAB 2023.
The company will use the event as the launch pad for three new products: Polymotion Relay, a sports circuit-based tracking solution, the Light Lift System and the AJS-2 autoJib for enhanced live content capture production. In addition, an enhanced version of the virtual production experience ‘Unreal Ride’ returns to the company’s Motion Control stand in the central lobby (L1) in partnership with VU to wow visitors following its smash-hit success last year.
Assaff Rawner, CEO of MRMC said: “We are excited to be part of the 100th NAB show with the biggest ever presence in our company’s history. Our broadcast solutions stand will be split into two key focus areas: Studios and Sports; with dozens of demonstrations and opportunities to network with our team of experts. We will be introducing Slidekamera by MRMC products for the first time to NAB audiences. We’re also delighted to see delegates playing at being a director by taking our virtual production experience Unreal Ride to the next level.”
Studios
From the broadcast studio side, MRMC will be highlighting two new broadcast products demonstrating superior PTZ enablement.
The AJS-2 Auto-Jib is the perfect solution for enhancing shots of live content. It can be deployed with either a PTZ or a robotic head and controlled manually, through 2 degrees of semi-automation or through full automation.
It can be operated as a manual jib, 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.
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.
Nikon USA will be part of the booth showcasing the Z9 full-frame mirrorless camera and other camera models, lenses and accessories.
Sports Production
NAB Show 2023 will see the worldwide 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 multicam 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.
Slidekamera by MRMC
NAB 2023 will be 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. Visitors can meet the Slidekamera by MRMC team and 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.
Unreal Ride 2023
Following last year’s massive success with the interactive user experience Unreal Ride, MRMC is teaming up once again with Vū Studios for another show-stopping virtual production activation. The Unreal Ride 2023 takes the experience up another level by adding greater control. Guests will be able to make decisions that materially affect a ride’s scene.
