Here’s How to Build a Virtual Production Studio Using LEDs
Alfalite announced that its Modularpix Pro VP XR solution is the core technology behind the new Coruña Immersive Studio (CEI), Spain’s largest virtual production studio. Located in A Coruña (Galicia), the facility features a 28 x 6-meter LED wall, a 100-square-meter ceiling screen, and two side LED totems, incorporating a total of 1,152 Alfalite VP XR LED panels.
The CEI spans 2,539 square meters, with 750 square meters dedicated to the studio, within A Coruña’s Cidade das TIC technology hub. The facility consists of two interconnected buildings designed to support high-end virtual productions. The project was developed in collaboration with Telefónica Servicios Audiovisuales (TSA) and Tangram Solutions, two of Alfalite’s strategic partners that played key roles in integrating the technology. Funding was co-financed by the A Coruña Provincial Council and the Government of Spain through the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
The centerpiece of the studio is a 28 x 6-meter semicircular LED wall made up of 672 Alfalite Modularpix Pro VP XR panels with a 1.9 mm pixel pitch and a resolution of 14,336 x 3,072 pixels.
Supporting the main display is a 100-square-meter ceiling screen featuring Alfalite Modularpix Pro 3.9 HB VP XR panels and two movable side LED totems, each measuring 2.5 x 4 meters and equipped with Alfalite Modularpix Pro 2.6 VP XR modules. These side screens enhance lighting and reflections, creating a more immersive production environment.
With 1,152 Alfalite VP XR LED panels, the studio enables filmmakers and advertisers to create dynamic, hyper-realistic environments that integrate seamlessly with physical elements in real time.
The CEI’s technology is further enhanced by Pixotope’s 3D tracking solution, ARRI Alexa cameras, Canon lenses, Novastar MX Series processors, and a Blackmagic video matrix, among other advanced tools.
“We are proud to be part of this project, which is set to become one of Europe’s leading audiovisual hubs for virtual production in film and television,” said Luis Garrido, executive director of Alfalite. “We extend our gratitude to our partners Telefónica Servicios Audiovisuales and Tangram Solutions, who led this monumental project and trusted our technology to meet the highest industry standards.”
Alfalite’s VP XR technology was selected for its reliability, precision, and ability to meet the demanding requirements of virtual production. The LED panels are designed to interact in real time with cameras and graphics servers, offering a color spectrum that enhances creativity for filmmakers and cinematographers.
“With our Modularpix Pro VP XR solution, the CEI benefits from high luminance and color accuracy, establishing it as a benchmark for high-end audiovisual productions,” Garrido added.
Recently inaugurated, the CEI is positioned as a key facility for film, television, advertising, and live broadcast productions, attracting both national and international projects.
