robycam stadium to debut in mena under new broadcast deal

Dubai-based Vision One Touch Film Production has signed a partnership with broadcast tech developer Movicom to introduce the RobyCam Stadium system to the Middle East and North Africa. The deal, announced at IBC 2025 in Amsterdam, makes One Touch the first company to offer Movicom’s cable camera technology locally based.

The move lands as MENA’s sports broadcast market gains pace — the sector was valued at USD 4.79 billion in 2023 and is forecast to hit USD 7.59 billion by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Demand for advanced live-production tools is rising with regional investments in venues and major events.

RobyCam Stadium is built for large-scale coverage of sports, concerts and live shows. Suspended on four synthetic cables and powered by a real-time winch system, the camera travels freely in three-dimensional space over areas up to 250 meters wide, reaching speeds of 8 m/s. A gyro-stabilized head absorbs vibration and supports long lenses for smooth HD, UHD and 4K capture.

Each unit includes Movicom’s Compass AR tech, which sends live position and lens data to production servers for precise augmented-reality overlays — a feature increasingly used in broadcast graphics.

“We are excited to propose one of the world’s most in-demand stadium and arena cable systems to the MENA region,” said Mikhail Usanov, CTO of One Touch Production. “This is a step towards raising regional sports and entertainment broadcasts to the highest global standards”.

A Movicom representative noted that “the RobyCam system is featured in multiple creative projects and broadcasts around the world. The partnership with One Touch Production will expand the geography of the Movicom brand, as well as provide an opportunity to further develop the field of filming and broadcasting through projects implemented by our specialists”.

Starting November 2025, One Touch will handle RobyCam rentals and integration for sports and cultural events, adapting the system to venues and broadcast workflows, including XR setups.

Google has opened access to Nano Banana 2 across the Middle East and North Africa, pushing its newest image model into everyday tools rather than keeping it inside the exclusive (and expensive) Pro tier.

The rollout spans the Google Gemini desktop and mobile apps, and extends to Google Search through Lens and AI Mode. Developers can also test it in preview via AI Studio and the Gemini API.

Nano Banana 2 runs on Gemini Flash, Google’s fast inference layer. The focus is speed, but also control. Users can export visuals from 512px up to 4K, adjusting aspect ratios for everything from vertical social posts to widescreen displays.

The model maintains character likeness across up to five figures and preserves fidelity for as many as 14 objects within a single workflow. This enables visual continuity across scenes, iterations, or edits — supporting projects like short films, storyboards, and multi-scene narratives. Text rendering has also been improved, delivering legible typography in mockups and greeting cards, with built-in translation and localization directly within images.

Under the hood, the system taps Gemini’s broader knowledge base and pulls in real-time information and imagery from web search to render specific subjects more accurately. Lighting and fine detail have been upgraded, without slowing output.

By embedding the model inside Gemini and Search, Google is normalizing advanced image generation for a mass audience. In MENA, where startups and marketing teams are leaning heavily on AI to scale content across languages and borders, that shift lands at a practical moment.

The move also folds creative tooling deeper into search itself, so that image generation is no longer a separate workflow. It now sits right next to the query box.
