The stage features a large LED volume. This volume is 80 feet wide and 24 feet tall. High-resolution displays show realistic environments. Cameras track actor movements precisely. This allows backgrounds to react correctly to camera angles. Everything looks more natural and immersive.

“Virtual production changes filmmaking,” said John Smith, Sony’s VP of Technology. “This stage gives filmmakers direct control. They see the final image right away. It helps creativity. It also speeds up the whole process.”
The technology relies on Sony’s expertise. It uses powerful image processors. It integrates Sony’s professional cameras and displays. The system handles complex rendering needs. Filmmakers focus on directing, not technical hurdles. This stage offers a complete solution.
