Mo-Sys delivers turnkey LED virtual studio for World Cup broadcast |
Mo-Sys Engineering has successfully delivered a major LED Virtual Production studio for PLAZAMEDIA ahead of its prestigious World Cup broadcast.
Following experimentation to find the optimum technical solution and a successful proof-of-concept, leading content solutions provider and sports TV producer PLAZAMEDIA enlisted Mo-Sys to deliver its innovative LED Studio. This complete turnkey solution incorporates real studio elements with optional XR ability. Mo-Sys provided technical guidance from concept to delivery, virtual production training, and project management of the installation within the impressive 690 square meter studio at PLAZAMEDIA’s headquarters in the AGROB Medienpark near Munich, Germany. As the exclusive German rightsholder, world leading telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom will be the first to utilize the ground-breaking Mo-Sys powered studio, from where all 64 World Cup 2022 matches will be broadcast via MagentaTV across 29 production days. After the World Cup, the studio will be re-opened as a full Virtual Production XR LED Volume.
Mo-Sys CEO, Michael Geissler adds: “The entire team at Mo-Sys is incredibly proud to have played such a significant role in the delivery of this incredible XR studio project. We would like to thank PLAZAMEDIA for their trust in us and we look forward to further strengthening our relationship.” Mo-Sys worked in collaboration with PLAZAMEDIA’s in-house technical and graphics teams as part of their project management, which ensured the complex studio build was delivered on schedule. Mo-Sys was responsible for all virtual production technologies, which included the 120sqm LED wall from Spanish manufacturer, Alfalite. Its impressive Modularpix Pro ORIM 1.9mm pixel pitch panels were specified for the 33m x 3.5m U-shaped LED volume, which is driven by a total of eleven render nodes. PLAZAMEDIA is at the very forefront of broadcaster’s adopting LED virtual studios. World Cup fans are set to be truly immersed in the action from Europe’s most advanced XR studio thanks to the company’s commitment to raising production values and improving the viewer experience. Through its use of bleeding-edge Mo-Sys technology, the studio will seamlessly combine the presenters and foreground studio features with augmented reality (AR) virtual set extensions and tracked graphics to deliver a unique 360-degree experience.
