MRMC Recruits Graeme Kelly As Head Of Broadcast Products

Mark Roberts Motion Control (MRMC), a Nikon company, has added experienced design engineer Graeme Kelly to its broadcast division. Kelly, who joins from senior engineering and management roles at Grass Valley, is MRMC’s new head of broadcast products.

In over a decade at Grass Valley, Graeme has been at the cutting edge of the industry-wide transition from SDI to IP. He joined in 2011 as principal engineer in the routing group, contributing architecture, hardware and FPGA designs to GV’s Sirius Routing range.  He led the team within GV working on both SDI and IP interfaced multiviewers helping the MV-8 Series become a cornerstone of GV’s live production business and as senior manager he also assumed responsibility for the software-defined Kaleido IP multiviewing platform.

Armed with a master’s degree in electronics and physics from the University of Glasgow, Kelly started his career at Snell & Wilcox as a design engineer and held various design and technical positions with a number of broadcast companies including Gennum, Sigma Designs and Vutrix before arriving at Grass Valley.

He will now be working alongside Paddy Taylor, head of broadcast at MRMC and the broadcast team that develops and markets a range of remote camera solutions designed from studios to live sports productions. These include, but are not limited to, PTZs and robotic pods, real-time pan bar controls and automated player tracking software to the Polymotion Chat automated camera tracking solution.
