Is Your XR / Virtual Production Facing These Challenges?
| Pain Point | XR Production Reality |
|---|---|
| ☐ Scan lines on camera | Low refresh or high scan ratio causes dark bands during quick pans |
| ☐ Color mismatch with render | LED wall looks different from what Unreal Engine outputs |
| ☐ Camera tracking drift | Virtual background shifts relative to real camera movement |
| ☐ Latency breaks immersion | Delay between actor movement and background response causes nausea |
| ☐ Floor reflection issues | LED floor reflects on talent or props, breaking illusion |
| ☐ Moiré on fine details | Textured costumes or set pieces create interference patterns |
Our XR-grade LED volumes are engineered from the ground up for virtual production — eliminating every technical barrier between physical and digital worlds.

Results / Case Study
Case: Hollywood Virtual Production Studio – Full LED Volume
| Metric | Before (Green Screen) | After (LED Volume) | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Post-production VFX time | 3 weeks | 3 days | -86% |
| Actor performance (immersion rating) | 6/10 | 9.5/10 | +58% |
| Lighting rework shots | 45% of scenes | <5% | -89% |
| Per-scene production cost | $45,000 | $18,000 | -60% |
Quote from Virtual Production Supervisor:
“Green screen always meant guessing where the background would be. With the LED volume, actors see exactly what they’re reacting to. Performance improved instantly. And the lighting interaction is physically real – no more fake reflections in post.”
Case: Automotive Brand – 360° LED Tunnel for Commercial
| Metric | Result |
|---|---|
| Volume size | 20m diameter cylinder, 5m height |
| LED area | 350m² (P1.2 walls + P1.8 floor) |
| Shoot duration | 2 days (vs 7 days on location) |
| Location costs saved | $280,000 |
| Final output | 4K HDR commercial, broadcast ready |
Quote from Director of Photography:
“Shooting a car in a studio with LED volume is a cheat code. The reflections on the paint are exactly what you want – no compositing needed. We drove the car onto the volume, lit it once, and rolled. 2 days later, we had a finished spot.”
Case: European Broadcaster – XR News Studio
| Metric | Before | After |
|---|---|---|
| Set change time between segments | 20 minutes | 10 seconds |
| Graphics integration cost (per show) | $5,000 | $200 |
| Viewer engagement (social mentions) | Baseline | +340% |

Client Testimonials
“We toured five different LED vendors before choosing this one. The deciding factor was the scan ratio – 1/8 on their P1.2 wall. That’s what eliminates the dark bands when cameras move fast. Our first shoot with whip pans and dolly moves – zero artifacts. Our DP was speechless.”
— Virtual Production Director, Major Film Studio
“The floor is the hardest part of any XR volume. It has to be perfectly flat, take a beating, not reflect, and match the wall color exactly. Their floor modules are incredible – seams are invisible at 2 meters, anti-slip works with dance moves, and we’ve driven cars on it without a scratch.”
— Technical Director, Automotive XR Studio
“Integration with Unreal nDisplay was seamless. Their engineer stayed with us for 3 days, helped calibrate our tracking system, and validated latency frame by frame. By day 2, we were shooting. By day 3, client approved. That kind of support is rare.”
— Head of Production, Virtual Event Agency
“We built a 200m² full volume (walls, floor, ceiling). The team handled everything – structural engineering, power distribution, genlock sync with our Mo-Sys tracking. Our first virtual production shoot saved us $150,000 compared to location shooting. The volume paid for itself in 4 months.”
— Studio Owner, XR Rental Facility
FAQ
Q: What is scan ratio and why does it matter for XR?
A: Scan ratio is the percentage of LEDs lit at any moment. High scan (1/1, 1/2, 1/4) can create dark bands when cameras move quickly. XR requires 1/8 or lower (1/16 ideal) to eliminate these bands. Our panels are 1/8 standard, 1/16 available.
Q: What’s the difference between refresh rate and scan ratio?
A: Refresh rate (Hz) affects flicker visibility. Scan ratio affects motion artifacts (banding). XR needs BOTH high refresh (3840Hz+) AND low scan (1/8-). Most vendors only specify refresh. We specify both.
Q: Can the floor handle heavy equipment or vehicles?
A: Yes. Floor modules are rated at 2000kg/m² (static load). Cars, forklifts, camera dollies, and standing talent are all safe. We provide load certification for venue approval.
Q: How do you prevent seams between floor and wall?
A: Three methods: 1) Precision leveling (±0.5mm flatness), 2) Matched pixel pitch (wall and floor same pitch if possible), 3) Post-process calibration blending. Seams become invisible beyond 2 meters.
Q: What latency can I expect from render to LED?
A: <1 frame (16ms at 60fps) from render engine output to LED emission. This includes LED processing time. Imperceptible to actors and cameras.
Q: Can I use my existing tracking system?
A: Yes. We support Mo-Sys, Stype, Trackmen, OptiTrack, Vicon, and any system that outputs Free-d or UDP position data. Genlock sync ensures frame accuracy.
Q: Which LED processor should I choose?
A: Brompton (best color, most XR features), Megapixel (highest resolution, 8K+), Novastar (budget-friendly, good for broadcast). We supply any brand you prefer.
Q: How much does an XR volume cost?
A: Varies significantly by size, pitch, and processor. Typical range: Small volume (50m²) $80,000-150,000, Medium volume (100m²) $150,000-300,000, Large volume (200m²+) $300,000-800,000+. Free consultation with detailed quote.
Q: How long does installation take?
A: Small volume (wall + floor): 5-7 days. Medium volume (curved walls + floor): 10-14 days. Large volume (full enclosure): 3-4 weeks. All work scheduled around your studio availability.
Q: Do you offer rental XR volumes?
A: Yes. We have rental volumes available in major production hubs (Los Angeles, London, Shanghai, Tokyo, Dubai). Daily/weekly rates. On-site engineers included.
