  • Seamless blend of physical and virtual worlds
  • Natural shadows and virtual reflections
  • High quality graphics and true-to-life interactions
  • Flat, Curved, J-Shaped, Sky and floor panel support

The creative concept for sports broadcasting was delivered by Zenapptic AI (https://zenapptic.ai/) with the final design and implementation performed by the ZD creative team.

Check our Virtual Studio and XR demos for the complete range of real-time and cinematic graphics workflows, which includes Virtual Studio, Portal Window, Set Extension, Augmented Reality (AR), and IC-VFX workflows.

Behind the Scenes​

Virtual Production Technology​

  • All real-time graphics solutions were powered by the new EVOII Render Engines, our new hardware platform, which unlock more performance, with gains up to 40% and a reduced end-to-end video delay to 5 frames, faster than any other Virtual Production solution in the marktet, without compromising quality.
  • 3 x EVO II’s with Nvidia RTX 4090 GPUs and AJA Corvid44 12G video I/O boards. One is used for Virtual Studio, one is used for AR and the last one is used in XR to feed the LED wall.
  • Traxis Talent Tracking is used for talent tracking.

Motion Graphics Technology​

  • Reality Hub 1.5.1 controls Lino, our real-time broadcast on-air graphics platform.
  • One EVO II is used for Lino.

Studio Technology​

  • The production setup used Grass Valley LDX150 4K system camera with Canon CJ12EX4.3BIASE 4K Lens.
  • 1.5 millimeter LED wall from Planar.
  • European studio and cinematic lighting design studio “Lichtmacht” provided the perfect mix of Freestyle LED DMX and Celeb LED DMX from the Next Generation LED Series in conjunction with KinoFlo lighting systems.
  • Egripment provided their T10 telescopic crane with mechanical tracking providing complete freedom of camera movement capturing both the XR as well as the Virtual Studio stage.
