Samsung Electronics Launches Virtual Studio 'The Wall' in Europe... Unveiled at World's Largest Exhibition

Presented at IBC 2023 from 15th to 18th

Samsung Electronics announced on the 15th that it will showcase 'The Wall for Virtual Production' at the world's largest broadcasting exhibition, 'IBC (International Broadcasting Convention) 2023,' held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, from the 15th to the 18th (local time). It will launch 'The Wall for Virtual Production' (IVC), a display dedicated to virtual production studios, in Europe.

The Wall for Virtual Production will be released in P1.68 (pixel pitch 1.68mm) and P2.1 models. It can be configured to surround the entire studio in a flat or up to 5800R curvature elliptical shape. This means it can be installed according to the shooting environment and purpose. In particular, a special molding technology is applied to the surface to enable use in studio environments with many external contaminants such as dust. It can be installed by hanging or stacking.

The IVC series supports frame rates dedicated to studio production (23.976, 29.97, 59.94Hz, etc.). It delivers a maximum high refresh rate of 12,288Hz. The maximum brightness is 1500 nits. It secures a high contrast ratio of 35,000:1 (based on P2.1) and a maximum viewing angle of 170 degrees. It also supports convenient features necessary for virtual content production, such as Genlock (Generator Locking) and Phase Offset, which synchronize screen and camera video signals.

To build an optimized screen operation environment, it provides ▲3D LUTs (Look Up Tables) with adjustable color correction ▲HDR and color gamut changes ▲color calibration of cabinets and modules ▲and a VPM (Virtual Production Management) solution for real-time screen quality settings and LED (light-emitting diode) fault detection in studio environments.

Jung Hoon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, said, "We have launched 'The Wall' dedicated to virtual production in Europe, which drastically reduces the time and cost required for on-site positioning and graphic compositing." He added, "We will continue to focus on developing displays that can contribute to the advancement of broadcasting and video production environments."
