MultiDyne Video & Fiber Optic Systems has officially announced the acquisition of key assets from Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), securing the future of this legendary 60-year pioneer in camera robotics and motion control technology.
The transaction, completed in June 2026, sees MultiDyne purchasing MRMC’s core technologies, intellectual property, manufacturing capabilities, and key engineering expertise out of liquidation. As part of the deal, MultiDyne has established a new subsidiary, MultiDyne Robotics and Motion Control, which will continue to operate and promote the respected MRMC brand.
Strategic Synergy and Market Impact
MultiDyne has long been a leader in video, audio, and data signal transport, conversion, and management, with its fiber-optic systems widely deployed in broadcast, production, and live events. MRMC’s world-class robotic camera systems, motion control solutions, and automated tracking technologies sit at the very beginning of the content creation chain — image acquisition. The combination creates a powerful, end-to-end ecosystem.
“MRMC is a world-class brand with an exceptional reputation for innovation, engineering excellence, and customer success,” said Frank Jachetta, CEO of MultiDyne. “This acquisition represents a natural and highly strategic extension of our business. While MultiDyne has focused on the transport, processing, and management of signals, MRMC places us at the point of image acquisition itself.”
The acquisition was fully funded with MultiDyne’s existing resources, with no external equity or debt involved, demonstrating the company’s strong financial position during its 50th anniversary year.
MRMC’s Legacy and Product Excellence
Founded in the 1960s, MRMC has been at the forefront of precision camera robotics, motion control rigs, remote heads, and intelligent tracking systems. Its solutions are trusted across broadcast, digital cinema, sports production, and large-scale live events, delivering repeatable, high-accuracy camera movements that elevate production quality.
In the professional filmmaking ecosystem featured on jcinecast.com, MRMC’s technologies integrate seamlessly with Angenieux high-performance zoom lenses, Tiffen Steadicam stabilization systems, and Phantom high-speed cameras, enabling more efficient and creative capture in complex shooting environments.
Looking Ahead
This strategic move not only preserves MRMC’s valuable heritage and team but also strengthens the global broadcast and cinematic production community with renewed innovation and support. MultiDyne Robotics and Motion Control is committed to advancing the MRMC product portfolio and delivering exceptional service to customers worldwide.
