Episode notes

While robotic cameras have been in broadcast facilities for decades, the Mark Roberts Motion Control team is pushing boundaries in storytelling.

From volumetric capture for augmented reality production to precise camera moves for news, Mark Roberts Motion Control is bringing robotics technology once reserved for high-end special effects to broadcast television.

Paddy Taylor, head of broadcast at Mark Roberts Motion Control, joins the Broadcast Exchange to talk about this merging of production toolsets, how Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are helping advance studio robotics and the shifted perspectives brought about by the pandemic.
