Leyard Europe brings virtual production to Ansbach University

This higher education center has a production studio in which a state-of-the-art LED screen has been installed. Leyard. This is composed of 50 series panels Planar Venue Pro VX, configured in a 10×5.

The Ansbach University of Applied Sciences is a prestigious higher education institution located in Bavaria that has established the Multimedia and Communication study program as a future-oriented plan, and in which theoretical foundations are combined with a broad practical application.

The program includes specializations in film production, interactive media and visual communication. All these areas are supported by modern facilities, which includes the environment of virtual production which has Led Led Screens of Leyard.

Students have this Led screen as an integral part of their work during the course, to create sophisticated virtual productions in a controlled studio environment. The film department's approach accompanies students in all phases of the process, from conception and script development to post-production, going through photography direction, lighting design, production direction and management. Thus, graduates prepare to function in an increasingly technology-oriented media landscape, in which traditional and virtual production methods merge.

“The Led screen is mainly used to simulate a television studio environment and play related content”, explains Professor Rainer Schäfer, director of the study at the University of Ansbach. “We use it as a background for our virtual production, in which we use Vizrt y StypeLand con Unreal Engine for the wall and for augmented reality applications, including set extensions and close-up elements. The screens Planar Venue Pro VX, with its technical specifications, offer color accuracy, “the refresh rates and processing performance essential for professional virtual production”.

The LED screen processing system allows high resolution backgrounds to be reproduced in real time with imperceptible latency. This is essential to maintain the illusion during filming.. The system's precise color calibration ensures consistent image quality across the entire surface, while the design of the panels, with minimal joints, minimizes annoying edges. These could affect the immersion during filming.

The installation was carried out within the framework of a tender in which Logando Display & Media Solutions was awarded the system supply contract. The company is a global service provider based in Germany specializing in professional audiovisual technology..

“Leyard offered the best value for money for this facility”, explica Ulrich Klingel, university laboratory engineer. “Although the substructure was a challenge at first, “It was resolved thanks to the collaboration between Leyard technicians and our team”.
