Technical overview
At Nextnew studio, the quality of our virtual production output is only as strong as the technology behind it. Every component in our studio has been selected for its performance, reliability, and ability to deliver results that hold up under the scrutiny of professional production — from close-up product shots to wide cinematic frames.
When you book Nextnew, you are not just booking a space — you are booking a team that takes responsibility for the technology working exactly as it should, every time.
LED Volume — Main Wall
The centrepiece of the Nextnew virtual production studio is our primary LED volume, built on AOTO RM1.9 panels — a display technology trusted by leading virtual production facilities worldwide. With a refresh rate of 7.860 Hz, the wall eliminates flicker at any camera shutter speed, giving your DOP the freedom to shoot without compromise. A contrast ratio of 15.000:1 and 1900 nits of peak brightness ensure that images remain vivid and detailed even in demanding lighting conditions. The 1/6 scan rate and 99,9% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage mean that what you see on the wall is colour-accurate, cinematically precise, and ready for the most demanding productions. Signal processing is handled by a Brompton Technologies SX40 LED processor — the industry standard for high-end virtual production — with XD distribution delivered via fibre for maximum stability and zero signal degradation over distance. Receiving cards are Brompton R2+, ensuring precise per-panel calibration and consistent image uniformity across the entire volume.
Side walls and ceiling
LED Volume — Side Walls & Ceiling The extended volume — side walls and ceiling — is built on FXPro 2.5 panels in 25x100cm format, designed to wrap the set in consistent ambient light and extend the virtual environment beyond the primary frame. Running at 3,840 Hz with a 1/8 scan rate and 1,000 nits of brightness, the peripheral panels deliver reliable, flicker-free performance that complements the main wall and contributes to the natural light wrap that makes virtual production so effective for reflective surfaces, skin tones, and immersive environments. Processing is handled by a Novastar H2 with Novastar A8s receiving cards.
Rendering
The virtual environments displayed on the LED volume are rendered in real time by our dedicated render server infrastructure. Built on AMD Threadripper processors paired with NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada Generation GPUs, our render pipeline is designed for the demands of high-resolution, real-time 3D rendering without latency or dropped frames. The RTX 6000 Ada is one of the most powerful professional GPUs available, delivering the computational headroom needed for complex, photorealistic environments — including dynamic lighting, particle systems, and high-polygon geometry — at the frame rates required for live camera operation.
Engines
Unreal Engine serves as our primary 3D engine for real-time rendering of virtual backgrounds. As the industry standard for virtual production, Unreal Engine provides the rendering quality, flexibility, and ecosystem of assets and tools that modern productions demand. Assimilate LiveFX handles playback, projection mapping, and image-based lighting. LiveFX allows us to use the LED volume not only as a backdrop but as a precision lighting instrument — using the virtual environment itself to illuminate talent and set elements with physically accurate, environment-matched light.
Camera Tracking
Accurate camera tracking is what allows the virtual environment to move and respond in perfect sync with the physical camera — creating the illusion of depth and parallax that makes LED virtual production so convincing. Our in-house tracking system is built on MARS VIVE CamTrack, providing reliable, low-latency positional data that keeps the virtual world locked to the lens at all times.
