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.

samsung's galaxy watch 9 and ultra 2 specs leak ahead of unpacked

Samsung’s next smartwatches have little left to hide. A new leak reported by Android Authority has surfaced most of the remaining details about the Galaxy Watch 9 and Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, just over a week before the company’s Galaxy Unpacked event on July 22.

The biggest change is an invisible one: Samsung is expected to drop its own Exynos W1000 chip in favor of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Wear Elite SW6100, a chipset unveiled only this year, according to the outlet.

Battery capacity looks like the other notable upgrade. Citing a report from Winfuture, Android Authority says the Watch Ultra 2 could reach 800mAh, well beyond the 590mAh cell in the current Watch Ultra. The 44mm Watch 9 reportedly gets a 445mAh cell — the same capacity as last year’s Watch 8 Classic — while the 40mm model stays at 325mAh.

The 40mm Watch 9 will reportedly feature a 438 x 438-pixel panel, with the 44mm Watch 9 and the Watch Ultra 2 sharing a larger 480 x 480-pixel screen. Samsung leaker Ice Universe has separately claimed the Ultra 2’s display could reach a peak brightness of 5,000 nits. RAM and storage vary by model, topping out at 2GB and 64GB.

The Ultra 2 keeps its titanium case and 100-meter water resistance; the standard Watch 9 remains aluminum, rated to 5 ATM. All models are said to include Bluetooth 6.0, NFC, and dual-band WiFi, with the usual LTE variants, and ship with One UI 9 Watch running on Wear OS 7.

A separate leak puts the Galaxy Watch 9 at €409 (about $468) for the 40mm Bluetooth model, rising to €489 (about $560) for the 44mm LTE version, with the Watch Ultra 2 LTE at €749 (about $857) — figures Android Authority said were partially corroborated by Winfuture. Confirmation arrives on stage on July 22.
