At the grand opening of the Versatile AI Virtual Film Base in Deqing county, China, the world’s largest monolithic LED virtual production stage was officially unveiled. Jointly developed by Absen and Versatile, the stage features a 270-degree curved LED screen with a diameter of 50 meters and a height of 12 meters. The total floor area of the stage reaches 5,000 square meters, with the LED display covering approximately 1,700 square meters – equivalent to four standard basketball courts.
Powered by LED virtual production technology, the recreation of complex, large-scale, and costly scenes in film and television can now be achieved through a combination of virtual environments and minimal physical sets. Scene changes can be completed within minutes, and when paired with immersive 8K LED walls and realistic lighting, the shooting experience becomes highly authentic. This significantly enhances both production efficiency and visual immersion, offering industrialized support for content creation that traditional on-location shoots simply cannot match. These breakthroughs include HDR rendering, accurate color reproduction, high frame rates, high refresh rates, and the mitigation of moiré and aliasing effects during close-up shooting.
Absen has maintained a long-term partnership with Versatile, with both parties accumulating extensive experience in the field of virtual production. During the implementation of this landmark project, the two technical teams worked in close coordination, from early-stage planning and tackling key technical challenges to on-site installation and calibration.
At the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum (IMSM) a much smaller screen has big impact on visitor experience through immersive visual storytelling., as Absen’s NX Series LED displays bring over a century of racing history to life with archival race footage, interactive content, and real-time data. Absen partnered with Draper to support the screens in this unique configuration.
