MultiDyne acquires assets of MRMC to expand into camera robotics and motion control

MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems has acquired the assets of MRMC (Mark Roberts Motion Control), a developer of robotic camera systems, motion control solutions and automated camera tracking technologies for broadcast, digital cinema, sports production and live events.

As part of the transaction, MultiDyne has established MultiDyne Robotics and Motion Control, a new company that will maintain the MRMC brand. The acquisition brings MRMC’s core technologies, intellectual property, manufacturing capabilities and key engineering expertise into the MultiDyne organization, creating a combination of complementary technologies that extend MultiDyne’s reach to the very beginning of the content creation chain.

MRMC has been recognized as a pioneer in camera robotics and motion control for six decades, developing award-winning solutions that enable precision camera movement, automated tracking, virtual production workflows and cinematic motion control for some of the world’s leading broadcasters, filmmakers and content creators.

The move comes during a milestone year for MultiDyne as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of innovation and strategic growth across broadcast, digital cinema, Pro AV and live production markets. “This acquisition represents a natural and highly strategic extension of our business”, comments Frank Jachetta, CEO of MultiDyne. “MultiDyne has long been focused on the transport, processing and management of video, audio and data signals. MRMC places us at the point of image acquisition itself, allowing us to participate in a much broader portion of the production workflow. Together, our technologies create an end-to-end ecosystem for content creators, broadcasters and live production professionals worldwide.”

Unlike many industry acquisitions, the MultiDyne and MRMC product portfolios have virtually no overlap. Instead, the two companies serve many of the same customers, channel partners and markets with complementary technologies. MultiDyne’s fiber-optic transport, camera interface and signal processing solutions are widely used throughout professional production environments to move video, audio and data across complex infrastructures. MRMC’s robotic camera systems, tracking solutions, motion control rigs and automated production technologies complement those workflows by controlling the physical movement, positioning and automation of the cameras themselves.

The acquisition also aims to strengthen MultiDyne’s international presence, particularly in Europe. MultiDyne plans to maintain MRMC’s operations in the United Kingdom. Neil Maycock, a member of the MultiDyne leadership team, will run MRMC.
