MRMC Introduces Automated Image Capture Solutions for NAB

The new offerings from MRMC are designed to address the needs of image and video capture for broadcast and sporting venues by delivering simplicity and cost efficiency. The Polycam: Chat is an in-stadium solution which simplifies and augments the small-scale studio atmosphere while lowering production costs and footprint. The system automates the camera operation for up to four presenters and guests in one studio and can easily track a talking head with maximum stability within the frame. The Polycam: Player is a robotic video capture system for team analysts that offers an unbeatable level of automation, flexibility and low-light image quality to monitor the field with unparalleled precision.

MRMC will also be featuring new interface controls, including the Multiviewer Skin, Live Skin and the Color Control Panel for Multi Head Controller (MHC) systems, which allows broadcasters to have more creative control over their content. The Multiviewer Skin provides the ability to control up to 12 cameras directly from the Multiviewer interface, while the Color Control Panel can remotely control color output from select Nikon DSLRs to match a multi-camera production environment. Additionally, the new Live Skin UI offers a familiar full-screen interface for remote camera operation.

The MRMC display will also include innovative robotic offerings like the world’s fastest and most advanced cinebot, the Bolt, as well as the smaller, more compact and lightweight Bolt Junior. For studio track, ceiling or floor mounting needs, MRMC will also be exhibiting the multi-purpose, smooth and ultra-quiet Camerobot, StudioBot and StudioBot Light robotic camera arms. Other technologies on display from MRMC will include Robotic Pods for remote capture, the AFC range of pan-tilt camera heads, Whisper Head PTZ systems and a glimpse of custom operator control interfaces.

Attendees can also see the MRMC Bolt as part of an interactive display at the entrance of the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
