MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems has announced it’s acquiring the assets of MRMC (Mark Roberts Motion Control), a developer of robotic camera systems, motion control systems 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 organisation, creating a combination of complementary technologies that extend MultiDyne’s reach to the very beginning of the content creation chain.
The move comes during a milestone year for MultiDyne as the company celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of strategic growth across broadcast, digital cinema, pro-AV and live production markets.
Frank Jachetta, CEO of MultiDyne (pictured above) said; "This acquisition represents a natural and highly strategic extension of our business. 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."
