Brompton technology powers the new stage for virtual production at NIPA in South Korea

The National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA) has collaborated with the South Korean ARK Ventures to create an innovative LED stage with cutting-edge technology, including ROE Visual panels powered by LED processors Brompton 4K Tessera SX40.

NIPA, a South Korean government organization whose goal is to promote and develop the country's IT industry, collaborates with partners around the world to create business opportunities and conducts research. All of this informs IT policy decisions and focuses on cultivating a skilled workforce and promoting international exchange for the progress of South Korean IT companies.

David Oh, CEO of Ark Ventures, acknowledges that "we are delighted to participate in this project and work with the NIPA technical team to provide a first-class, reliable and future-proof LED equipment. The new LED stage will allow NIPA to offer local companies a cutting-edge virtual production experience in an optimal LED environment," he says.

The solution

With a curved design, the main LED wall is composed of panels ROE Visual Black Pearl BP2V2 16 m by 4 m, with a floor made up of panels ROE Visual Black Marble BM4 14.6 m wide by 6.7 m deep. To guarantee the best possible performance, the entire installation is powered by three Brompton 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors y six Tessera 10G data distribution units.

“Tessera features that will be especially relevant to NIPA's needs include Frame Remapping, allowing multiple cameras to each view a unique rendered background with the correct perspective, on-screen tracking markers for use with Mon-Sys StarTracker, ShutterSync, which allows you to adjust the refresh rate of the LEDs on the camera, and Studio Mode, which reduces the maximum brightness of a luminaire while maintaining the PWM bit depth,” Oh continues. “We are confident that the NIPA team and its partners can take full advantage of these capabilities in their innovative projects.”

Luke Hurford, Brompton Business Development Director, APAC, says: "Brompton is fully committed to supporting industry innovators with cutting-edge LED processing solutions. As we continue to introduce new features that expand the creative potential of our Tessera processors, it is a privilege to see industry leaders like Ark Ventures choose Brompton LED processing for such a prestigious government-operated organization in South Korea."
