the vision of motionBRIDGE

Many inputs, many outputs.

motionBRIDGE sits between your controllers and the devices they drive, and translates, mixes and modify between them. Use the wheels your muscle memory is trained on with the head needed for the shoot, or the one your rental threw on the truck.

Special features

Special Features

Because every signal runs through one box, motionBRIDGE can do things your controllers and heads can’t do on their own. Some you always wished for, some you didn’t know you wanted.

Mix & match

Route any input to any output, and combine them. Hand over control between operator stations during a long take, put tilt on a wired joystick and pan on remote wheels, or let the DP pan&tilt during pre-light without reconfiguring anything.

A note from us

We planned to stay quiet until motionBRIDGE was finished. Then a good colleague announced a product with some similar ideas and we decided it was time to show what we’ve been building for some time now. In german we'd say "Zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke". The English version sounds nicer: "Great minds think alike."

We want to be clear about where we are: motionBRIDGE is a work in progress. We have proofs of concept for most of the major features. Some work end to end, and some are still on the whiteboard. We’re not selling anything yet. We’re sharing the full picture because that’s how we think about motionBRIDGE, and we’ll post progress over the coming weeks.

If a device or feature you think should be supported is missing on the lists above, tell us. That’s exactly the feedback we need.
