Polymotion Chat is an easily deployable studio solution that allows an operator to automate up to six presenter and guest camera positions. Using limb and face detection software Polymotion Chat tracks their movements and provides stable and natural-looking content.
SIMPLY YOUR WORKFLOW
Polymotion Chat is a camera solution for small studios. Controlling up to 6 robotic heads from one operator stadium, Chat can be used as a flexible broadcast solution.
ADAPTABLE, AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Whether your requirements are traditional newsroom, standing presenter-led, or magazine format show, Polymotion Chat can help streamline this work-flow.
REPLICATE NATURAL MOVEMENT
An operator has several tools inside Polymotion Chat to replicate a natural camera movement. For example, after framing their subject, a ‘static zone’ can be set to control how far the subject can move before the camera starts to follow it. The speed of this move can also be controlled in line with the production requirements.
FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE
Polymotion Chat can utilise presets to help locate and frame subjects. This can include off frame positions for graphics insertions for news or sports programming or set camera positions for intros or interviews.
Additionally, for the pop-up studio, a remote production workflow can be used with the operator managing the Polymotion Chat system over IP from the main production facility.
USE YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS
Any combination of the MRMC Robotics range can be used with Polymotion Chat.
For customers who already have chosen their cameras they can simply add them to our AFC100 platform. This will turn the camera into a fully automated robotic head with pan, tilt, zoom and focus. This delivers the same consistent ‘look and feel’ in production with the added benefit of precision.
ONE OPERATOR
The Polymotion Chat solution comes in either a 1U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 3 tracking heads) or a 2U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 6). Simply use your existing cameras on one of MRMC Robotic heads and connect. The interface has been designed to work with either a touchscreen or a standard keyboard and mouse. One operator can easily control Polymotion Chat and additional operators’ consoles can be added.
SIMPLE UI
With Polymotion Chat software, automatic zones can be set per camera to ensure the subject is framed correctly and if they move beyond a set radius the camera automatically follows them. Limits can also be set so that if the subject moves out of the studio space the camera simply stops following and returns to it’s default position.

Polymotion Stage
Polymotion Stage is the world’s first multi-solution mobile volumetric capture studio. For the very first time, content creators can easily capture volumetric assets at any location. The unique mobile studio environment that Polymotion Stage provides allows the creation of volumetric video, volumetric stills and avatars in any given surroundings, and in effect can be transported to where it’s needed, such as a broadcast studio or movie set. It has been developed by world leaders in camera robotics and automated broadcast solutions, MRMC, a Nikon Group company, in partnership with Dimension, leaders in volumetric capture and advanced virtual humans.
Our capture solutions can be deployed quickly to wherever the talent is on location. Our flight-ready Dome can be flat-packed and sent to any location with crew to allow volumetric capturing in remote locations or on set. The Truck, available from Autumn 2019, transforms and expands into a secure and private capture space in a matter of hours.
The state-of-the-art capture stage is comprised of 106 video cameras, capturing video at either 2k or 4k resolution. The cameras are positioned with 96 around the capture volume facing inwards, and 10 above pointing down. With multi-directional microphones, we can capture spatial audio or reference tracks to be sent to sound design.
When you shoot in the Polymotion Stage, the clients project is being managed and created by a specialist team who have worked with some of the biggest companies and names in the world. The resulting output are MP4 (which are small and flexible) and OBJ files meaning they can be used in a variety of traditional media, including broadcast, or 2D video, or in augmented, and virtual reality applications without unnecessary strain on your devices.
VOLUMETRIC IMAGES
For an efficient way to produce exciting 2D and 3D renders from the same capture, our circular array of high-resolution cameras provide incredible detail at the press of a button. You can take the raw data and work with your preferred post-production team, or we can polish the assets to have them ready to go.
VOLUMETRIC VIDEOS
Volumetric video allows you to pause, rotate and get closer to the talent. This exciting format provides you with a 3D video of the performance that can be used augmented into live broadcast, immersive, and traditional media formats.
For sports broadcasts, this could create new ways to provide analysis and commentary on performance. For live entertainment, this opens up new creative camera angles to delight your audience. The possibilities are endless.
AVATARS
Our multi-purpose Polymotion stages allow you to quickly capture your talent in static poses. Once captured, their digital models are taken through our avatar pipeline, making them ready to be animated or driven by mocap data.

Mo-Sys VP Pro
What is Mo-Sys VP Pro?
Currently utilised by a growing pool of filmmakers, high-end broadcasters and developers, Mo-Sys VP Pro streams live tracking data from all Mo-Sys robotic and tracking hardware such as StarTracker and RoboJib. Mo-Sys VP Pro features a creative AR mode, an internal keyer and data recording with timecode stamp for FBX export, as well as many more virtual production features that empower your creative processes in the Unreal Engine.
High-quality camera tracking
Developed from our patented broadcast camera tracking system, StarTracker comes the film-orientated StartTracker VP. This optical tracking system looks at “stars”; which are small, identical retro-reflective stickers which are randomly applied to the studio ceiling or on the floor. A small LED sensor, mounted on the studio camera, shines light on the stars and remembers the constellation. This then reports the position and orientation of the studio camera in real time to the rendering engine.
Unrestricted Unreal Plugin
StarTracker VP comes with a plugin for Unreal and as such is not limiting you in your workflow. It allows you to tap into the raw power of Unreal, giving full flexibility and creative freedom. StarTracker VP was specifically tailored for virtual productions and VFX heavy filming – with many features that simplify VFX shots.
Post-production
Whilst allowing on-set visualization in real-time, as well as scene blocking in virtual worlds, StarTracker neatly provides timecode synchronization and an FBX export allowing you to efficiently drop the recorded data and footage into Maya and other post-production software.

bMR
bMR has been designed to address multiple deployment scenarios
New studio build - where both on-air graphics system and a LED virtual studio are installed at the same time. Upgrade transition plan - where either the on-air graphics system or the LED content server are installed first, and used with the existing on-air graphics system or green screen studio until these are upgraded.
bMR LED content server system
bMR can drive any size/shape/pixel pitch LED virtual studio (equipped with sufficient render nodes), with the base system able to drive an LED studio with up to 8million pixels.
Create expansive virtual studios
Set extensions with simultaneous augmented reality (AR) are also possible, with the delay between the Unreal graphics perspective displayed on the LED wall, and the camera’s actual position, the lowest on the market today.
Multi-camera switching
The system offers multi-camera switching capability, up to UHD4K resolution, enabling multiple cameras to be used with an LED volume, where switching between cameras is orchestrated with the LED wall updating correctly.
Flexible upgrade path
bMR contains 2 Mo-Sys VP VFX virtual studio compositing licences (more can be added), for an upgrade transition scenario where a broadcaster needs to deploy bMR as initially an on-air graphics replacement to work with an existing green screen virtual studio, before upgrading this to an LED virtual studio.
bMR on-air graphics system
bMR’s on-air graphics system offers three ways of displaying templated data-fed graphics; standard 2D keyed graphics, keyed 3D graphics, or 3D ‘in-scene’ Unreal element graphics. The system conforms to MOS protocol and can be controlled by commonly available newsroom computer systems (NRCS) such as Octopus, ENPS, or other popular NRCS.
Intuitive interface with full system redundancy
bMR is based on web browser technology and uses a fully redundant server/client architecture. Importantly, it is an on-premise solution and is not cloud-based.
Local and remote preview
bMR offers local and remote preview, where remote preview is enabled via temporary agents to avoid copying, which in turn reduces remote preview latency.
Absolute control
The system uses a browser-based Mediahub to manage graphics assets, offering streamlined control of multiple graphic elements on a single production, as well as multi-studio capability. bMR offers users the ability to create simple custom interfaces for populating graphic templates, for attaching real-time data sources to graphic templates, or for manual control of graphic elements.

News stories on individual rundowns are assigned to journalists who can see the tasks assigned to them from their own login.
SCRIPT AND VIDEO EDITING Journalists write their story, app and web page template cues, prompter script, camera cues and character generator text using a simple to use, multilingual Windows programme. As the story is changed and updated, all users are updated on developments. The journalist can record voice overs and undertake a simple edit in their workspace, using the inbuilt timeline editor. If extensive video editing, packaging and compositing is required, the timeline can be exported to an NLE, rendered and the file imported back into the LNS workspace. If only cut editing and voiceovers are required, then rendering of the timeline is processed by LNS. After checking, the assigned journalist marks the resulting video as the on-air copy, which notifies it’s completed. It is then marked as being ready for more senior editorial approval and placed in a pool of stories and content, ready to go into the programme running order with a simple drag and drop.
PRE-PRODUCTION RUNDOWN MANAGEMENT Using pre-prepared templates for each deadline or programme category, the completed stories and packaged content is now in a specific rundown, which shows detailed information on the readiness of each of the stories or packaged content, signaling potential issues such as video missing, prompter script not approved, cg not approved, etc. Users who have sufficient rights can then publish the rundown, for air, app and web

Polymotion Chat
SIMPLY YOUR WORKFLOW
Polymotion Chat is a camera solution for small studios. Controlling up to 6 robotic heads from one operator stadium, Chat can be used as a flexible broadcast solution.
ADAPTABLE, AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Whether your requirements are traditional newsroom, standing presenter-led, or magazine format show, Polymotion Chat can help streamline this work-flow.
REPLICATE NATURAL MOVEMENT
An operator has several tools inside Polymotion Chat to replicate a natural camera movement. For example, after framing their subject, a ‘static zone’ can be set to control how far the subject can move before the camera starts to follow it. The speed of this move can also be controlled in line with the production requirements.
FLEXIBLE AND EASY TO USE
Polymotion Chat can utilise presets to help locate and frame subjects. This can include off frame positions for graphics insertions for news or sports programming or set camera positions for intros or interviews.
Additionally, for the pop-up studio, a remote production workflow can be used with the operator managing the Polymotion Chat system over IP from the main production facility.
USE YOUR EXISTING CAMERAS
Any combination of the MRMC Robotics range can be used with Polymotion Chat.
For customers who already have chosen their cameras they can simply add them to our AFC100 platform. This will turn the camera into a fully automated robotic head with pan, tilt, zoom and focus. This delivers the same consistent ‘look and feel’ in production with the added benefit of precision.
ONE OPERATOR
The Polymotion Chat solution comes in either a 1U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 3 tracking heads) or a 2U Polymotion Server (which supports up to 6). Simply use your existing cameras on one of MRMC Robotic heads and connect. The interface has been designed to work with either a touchscreen or a standard keyboard and mouse. One operator can easily control Polymotion Chat and additional operators’ consoles can be added.
SIMPLE UI
With Polymotion Chat software, automatic zones can be set per camera to ensure the subject is framed correctly and if they move beyond a set radius the camera automatically follows them. Limits can also be set so that if the subject moves out of the studio space the camera simply stops following and returns to it’s default position.

IP NOC (Network Operations Center)
As IP continues to go mainstream for video production, producers have identified key requirements. They’re looking to move away from bulky, expensive hardware to more flexible software and cloud-based solutions as well as more lightweight field gear like bonded cellular backpacks. They need IP streaming solutions that can be incorporated easily into production workflows, with the ability to ingest non-baseband sources. Broadcast Operations need to be able to use the entire gamut of IP-based protocols, and sometimes several of them during the same production. Likewise, they need fast, frictionless ways to transcode feeds and files into multiple video house formats for asset management and distribution.
The concept of an IP network operations center (IP-NOC) addresses all of these requirements by bringing together the state of the art in IP-based signal acquisition and cloud-based media asset management (MAM). Driven by these enabling technologies, the IP NOC offers a paradigm shift from traditional broadcast operation centers and satellite trucks to smaller and more nimble transmission gear, cameras, and capture devices.

Hive Unified Content Platform
With the latest HTML5 editing tools and the ability to integrate other best of breed toolsets onto the platform, Hive delivers an unparalleled user experience to rapidly process any content for any medium and deliver it whenever, where ever and how ever it is needed.
HIVE has been built on a cloud native distributed services architecture, therefore it is quick to deploy, easy to maintain and cost-effective to provision as workloads change. HIVE can be deployed on premise, in private or public cloud, or as a hybrid mix of all three, enabling ultimate commercial flexibility in the business.
Uniquely for a broadcast production system HIVE has been architected, from the ground up, on data centre class technologies that are not yet capitalised on in the media broadcast industry.
HIVE utilises the advantages of data centre focused and open source technologies (object storage, containers, NoSQL) as opposed to traditional industry configurations of dedicated systems running resources in silos. Thanks to this HIVE leverages internet methodologies to deliver a dynamically scalable, highly scalable and highly available system which can be deployed either on premise or in off-site data centres. See figure 1 to show the architectural differences and key benefits.
Hyper Convergent Node technology enables HIVE to grow (or shrink) with the business performance required. Complex broadcast systems can, for the first time, be designed for a customer’s current level of performance, secure in the knowledge that additional storage and processing can be added at any time in the future whilst the system is live. No down time. No significant project expenditure. No investment in under-utilised assets.
Future expansion of the system into new production areas with different applications is also supported through the use of a common Platform/Toolset architecture with a highly scalable core and industry standard APIs.
With these core technologies embedded in the Network Production platform it is not difficult to see the opportunities:
• Acceleration of the Capex to Opex trends
• Outsource of commodity IT practises – data centres or on premise service
• Centralsiation of multi tenanted platforms
o Either as a SAAS model
o Or a National Broadcaster providing a platform as a service to local
broadcasters
As an omni-media network production system, HIVE, supports the fast and efficient creation of content for Internet, VoD and Broadcast applications. Key integrations with a number of market leading Newsroom Computer Systems and Graphics Platforms ensure that the journalists and operators work within the tools they are used to.
Key customer benefits include:
• Streamlined camera-to-archive production workflow
• Fully Integrated solution to support efficient planning to publish operation
• Internet/mobile first workflows that flex with digital trends
• Common content management platform with the ability to optimize the
repurposing of assets through a single system
• A recognized toolset designed for journalists/users
• Proven and future proofed ROI with tested, delivered and improved workflows
following ten years of experience
• Dynamic “pay-as-you-go” system for scaling and functionality
• Ability to flex with the business requirements - scales down as well as up
• Adaptable and Open solution that can be expanded into new production areas
