Audiovisual technology has advanced significantly in recent years, something that will be evident at the 2025 edition of IBC, which will take place in Amsterdam. British company Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC) is preparing to showcase a product that perfectly represents these technological advances and has the potential to directly impact the film and digital content industry.
Joining forces: MRMC, Nikon, and RED in one space
IBC 2025, scheduled for September 12th-15th, will bring together major names in the audiovisual industry at the RAI Amsterdam. MRMC will share space with Nikon and RED Digital Cinema, in a booth designed to showcase how the three brands can work together.
In the broadcast area, visitors will be able to see the RPS-C2 and the new RPS-LT, a mobile robotic pedestal capable of bringing even more flexibility to studios. The product consists of a system that integrates a six-axis arm, capable of moving more fluidly and precisely, enabling the capture of previously difficult angles.
Another highlight will be the demonstration of dynamic virtual environments. With scenes that change from day to night, the company’s goal is to impress, demonstrating how cameras and robots can work together to create immersive visual experiences. Therefore, the idea is not limited to simply showcasing equipment, but also demonstrating its applicability and the advantages it can offer broadcasters and content producers.
RPS-LT: Mobility with intelligence for effective space mapping
Among the new releases, the RPS-LT stands out for its combination of practical mobility and intelligence. It’s a free-standing pedestal system equipped with LIDAR technology for more precise space mapping, ensuring more enhanced image capture.
Furthermore, the equipment features balanced traction wheels, ensuring smoother, more stable movement while in use. This stability allows presenters to remain focused on their performance without worrying about technical adjustments that could distract them. The idea is to provide viewers with a more fluid and natural broadcast, as if the camera were perfectly in tune with the environment. The RPS-LT is considered an evolution compared to other solutions on the market, which often suffer from precision limitations. According to MRMC, the goal is to offer creative freedom and practicality without sacrificing users’ safety and reliability.
Cinebot Nano: Cinema control on a compact scale
Besides the RPS-LT, another notable launch is the Cinebot Nano, a product aimed at independent filmmakers and content creators who need to utilize professional resources in confined spaces. Therefore, it proposes to facilitate these scenarios with a lightweight, portable solution with a range of up to one meter. The robot can carry cameras weighing up to 7kg, performing repetitive movements smoothly, which is an opportunity to improve the quality and speed of work daily.
The Cinebot Nano arrives as a more affordable option, fitting into three suitcases that can be transported on commercial flights, which expands the possibilities for traveling productions or in remote locations.
A look at the future of audiovisual production
MRMC’s participation at IBC 2025 aims not only to showcase new equipment but also to present innovative proposals for the future of audiovisual production in the coming years. By combining robotics with image capture technology, the company presents a solution that unites creativity and automation, perfecting the final product — the artistic filmed production, whatever it may be.
MRMC shows that these are not just sophisticated machines, but tools that allow for more free and engaging storytelling. In Amsterdam, the public will have the opportunity to experience all these technological innovations firsthand. With solutions that range from portable motion control systems to advanced robotic pedestals, MRMC signals a future where creative professionals of all scales can access tools once restricted to large productions.
