STS Communication as a member of the PRG Alliance, featured in two multifunctional STStudios: CR49 and Studio1D, both powered by Brompton Technology LED processing.
“Aimed at cinematic virtual productions, CR49 features a comprehensive setup, including a camera tracking system, media servers for background plate playout, render nodes for Unreal Engine photorealistic 3D content, and a highly skilled crew,” commented Alessandro Rosani, Chief Technology Officer at STS Communication.
The curved LED wall at CR49 studio spans 24m by 6m and comprises Absen P2.5 XR Pro panels, accompanied by four movable blocks of P3.9 LED panels on the roof totalling 50sqm. Additionally, two 3m by 2m LED displays on trolleys complete the setup, integrated with three 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors and six Tessera XD 10G data distribution units.
On the other hand, Studio1D primarily caters for online events, product presentations, and live or on-demand talk shows. Sporting a square shape, it boasts an 18m by 4m LED wall and floor. The studio is set to undergo an upgrade soon, incorporating Absen PL2.5 XR Pro LED and Brompton 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors.
“Our recent investments in a large quantity of Absen PL2.5 LED panels respond to numerous requests for temporary studio installations at our customers’ premises,” Rosani noted. “Our choice of Brompton Technology LED processing stems from its remarkable video processing capabilities, delivering vivid and natural colours even at low brightness. Additionally, Tessera’s ShutterSync feature enables precise and efficient adjustments, ensuring a seamless match with the camera in a few simple steps.”
All Absen LED panels have undergone calibration using Brompton’s all-in-one Hydra advanced measurement system, unlocking Dynamic Calibration and Brompton HDR.
“Among our favourite Tessera features are ShutterSync and colour correction tools like OSCA and ChromaTune. Moreover, the Tessera interface is very user-friendly and easy to learn. It enables complete control and monitoring of LED panels which, in return, streamlines our day-to-day workflows and greatly increases our team’s efficiency,” explained Rosani.
Applauding the support they receive from Brompton, Rosani stated that they can count on Brompton’s team “across all stages of the project,” he added. “From design to final display tuning, we are extremely content with the support received from Brompton. Their dedication is truly 24/7. Keep it up!”
“Being among the pioneering facilities in Italy to harness the immense creative potential of Virtual Production not only gives STS Communication a significant edge in this field but also instils a sense of responsibility to keep pushing the boundaries of this exciting technology,” concluded Dries Vermeulen, Business Development Manager – Europe at Brompton. “We’re pleased to see CR49 studio, and soon also Studio1D, fully leveraging Brompton LED processing alongside our other innovative technologies such as Dynamic Calibration and Brompton HDR, unleashing the full potential of their LED panels.”
