Oslo-based firm Muybridge, which builds software-defined camera systems for real-time virtual production, has raised a $16 million Series A led by Investinor, with support from Fairpoint Capital, Idékapital, RunwayFBU, and Arkwright X.
- Founded in 2019 by Håkon Espeland and Anders Tomren, Muybridge develops software-defined camera systems that replace traditional broadcast hardware with distributed sensor arrays and real-time GPU processing to create virtual, navigable camera perspectives.
- The system works by combining compact 4K sensor installations with low-latency compute infrastructure that reconstructs a volumetric representation of the scene, allowing operators and production teams to generate and move between camera angles in real time or in post-production without relying on fixed physical camera positions.
- In practice, this shifts video capture from a single-lens workflow to a spatial data model, where footage becomes an interactive environment that can be replayed, reframed, and explored dynamically across sports, live events, and other broadcast environments.
Details of the deal
- The new investment will allow the firm to accelerate its international expansion across Europe and the US, scale its commercial organisation, and continue developing its software-defined imaging platform, which replaces traditional broadcast camera setups with compact sensor arrays and real-time virtual camera perspectives for sports and live events.
