There’s something cooking at MRMC this year—quite literally. And it’s not just in the realm of robotic arms and cinematic sliders. With a kitchen-TV studio-inspired showcase at NAB 2025, the studio automation specialist is set to redefine how robotics and virtual production blend together for modern content creators.
Located at Booth N2038 in the North Hall, MRMC’s immersive demonstration promises a hands-on experience that captures the imagination, whether you’re a broadcast engineer, cinematographer, or virtual production pioneer. The company is pulling out all the stops, teaming up with Form Volumes to showcase how virtual production and LED volume integration can now be woven seamlessly into robotic workflows.
At the heart of this year’s showcase is MRMC’s studio robotics arsenal, featuring crowd favourites like the Studiobot XL and AFC Robotic Head—both known for their speed, precision, and reliability on live sets. However, it’s the debut of the RPS Roaming Pedestal System that will likely cause the biggest stir. Designed for smooth autonomous movement and real-time tracking in virtual environments, RPS is built to tackle the demands of hybrid broadcast studios head-on.
Attendees can also expect to see the latest from the Robotic Lift System (RLS) paired with the ARC UHD controller, offering real-time motion control for pan, tilt, and lift—perfect for live shows where precision can’t be compromised. When combined with LED walls and immersive backgrounds provided by Form Volumes, the result is a fully integrated pipeline from camera movement to final pixel.
This is more than a tech exhibit—it’s a working studio, a place where automation meets artistry. And for those in search of creative freedom with a robotic backbone, MRMC is offering the perfect proving ground.
But the innovation doesn’t stop there.
Also on show is the Slidekamera by MRMC Atlas slider and Bullhead, along with the Nikon SR-1—MRMC’s smallest robotic head to date—mounted on the all-new Orion Slider. Built for portability and high-precision movement, this compact setup aims squarely at content creators working in tight spaces without sacrificing quality or control.
The Cinebot Mini will also make its NAB appearance, mounted on a track system tailored for cinematic shots. It’s ideal for small studios or indie filmmakers who want to achieve Hollywood-style motion control on a modest budget.
For a deeper dive into real-world applications, MRMC has partnered with visual engineer and slow-motion savant Steve Giralt. Known for fusing robotics with visual storytelling, Giralt will run a live behind-the-scenes demonstration showcasing the Cinebot Max—MRMC’s flagship camera robot.
Set in a purpose-built mini studio, Giralt will walk visitors through a live food commercial shoot where the Cinebot Max executes millisecond-perfect moves—whether it’s catching a lemon mid-air or triggering a splash in sync with a lighting cue. This isn’t just a gimmick. It’s a masterclass in precision-engineered storytelling, where machines act with the grace and timing of a seasoned DP.
The takeaway? Robotics are no longer just tools—they’re collaborators. And MRMC is leading the charge to democratise this high-tech choreography for studios of all sizes.
To sweeten the deal, visitors can book meetings and grab a complimentary NAB pass using the code NS6898 during registration. It’s an invitation to not only observe, but interact—to press buttons, test limits, and reimagine what’s possible when studio automation meets virtual production.
For an industry constantly seeking faster, smarter, and more flexible production solutions, MRMC’s 2025 showcase is more than just a highlight of the show—it’s a glimpse into the future of broadcast.
