Across two booths at IBC2024, Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), a Nikon company, will showcase the workflow interoperability and collaboration between MRMC, Nikon, and Red.

At booth 11.C28, the highlight will be the launch of the Studiobot LT. Designed for permanent or semi-permanent studio productions, this new robot is easy to get up and run, offering flexibility and a wide envelope of motion that enables content creators to drastically increase output quality within a small footprint.

The StudioBot LT supports up to 10kg, making it ideally suited for box-cameras with a typical studio lens. It features native support for broadcast serial lenses, as well as being able to drive external lens motors. It also comes equipped with numerous safety features and a tally lamp for studio deployment.

There is also a choice of base and mounting for floor, ceiling, or a track, meaning the StudioBot LT can be deployed for a range of applications. The system is easily controlled via an industry-leading software interface, provides FreeD positional data, and offers an API for integration with studio automation systems making it suitable for integration into virtual reality (VR) environments and advanced broadcast workflows.

At booth 12.C20, the focus turns to the new Cinebot Max. User-friendly and portable, the 1.75m arm of the Max makes it perfect for on-location filming like its little brother, the Cinebot Mini, but with the additional reach and payload expected from larger rigs.

Building upon the PushMoco technology developed for the Cinebot Mini, the Max’s arm can be manoeuvred into any position by hand. Camera movements can then be played back, and with a 3.2m height and maximum 20kg payload it is adaptable to multiple-use cases from tabletop work in the studio to live-action shooting with cinema cameras.

Assaff Rawner, CEO of MRMC, said, “We are looking forward to IBC2024 and being in Amsterdam once again, especially with such landmark new products.

“The Cinebot Max and Studiobot LT will showcase how we continue to evolve our technologies to meet the needs of our customers across the film and broadcast industries.”To find out more, speak with Rawner and his team at IBC2024, which is taking place at the Amsterdam RAI convention centre from September 13-16.
