Enhances workflows for virtual productions at France.tv
The V-Studio, a versatile and modular studio under the ownership of France.tv Studio, has recently undergone a significant transformation, incorporating cutting-edge technology to boost its production capabilities.
The heart of the new setup includes four Absen LED walls and three Brompton 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors. The Absen LED walls are essential for creating immersive environments, providing a high-quality display for visual elements and seamless integration with other technologies for complex visual effects. The Brompton processors, known for their ability to handle high-resolution video content, ensure that the visuals displayed on the LED walls are of the highest quality and have precise color and brightness control.
The integration of these LED walls and processors suggests a sophisticated XR (Extended Reality) setup, allowing for the creation of dynamic and interactive virtual environments. This can enable real-time rendering of virtual elements, enhancing both the production process and the final output.
The V-Studio also employs two tracking solutions: a StarTracker system from Mo-Sys and a 20-camera Vicon Vero system. These solutions ensure precise motion capture and object tracking, crucial for the seamless integration between real-world and virtual elements.
While specific details about rendering nodes are not provided, the use of high-resolution LED walls and advanced processors suggests that the studio likely employs powerful rendering capabilities. The V-Studio's rendering nodes are powered by three APY nodes with NVIDIA A6000 ADA Lovelace GPUs, providing the necessary power to handle the complex visual effects and real-time rendering required in XR productions.
The studio's flexible configuration allows for real-time 3D filming, motion-capture, and vehicle sequences, making it suitable for a wide range of productions, including drama series, documentaries, commercials, and motion-capture filmmaking.
The V-Studio's main screen measures 10m by 4m, while its adjustable ceiling spans 8m by 4m, offering ample space for diverse productions. Originally built by Les Tontons Truqueurs and later acquired by France.tv Studio, the V-Studio now stands as a cutting-edge facility for producing a wide range of content, from traditional television productions to interactive and immersive experiences.
The V-Studio's transformation incorporates virtual production technology, as it now features advanced LED walls and processors essential for creating immersive environments and dynamic virtual productions. Specifically, the integration of four Absen LED walls and three Brompton 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors indicates a sophisticated XR setup, allowing for real-time rendering of virtual elements.
