With an area of ​​1,700 square meters, Asia’s largest LED virtual shooting screen is put into use in Deqing, Zhejiang

Recently, Asia's largest single LED virtual shooting screen was officially put into use at the Bocai AI virtual film and television base in Deqing County, Zhejiang. The screen is in the form of a 270-degree ring screen with a diameter of 50 meters and a total area of about 1,700 square meters, which is equivalent to the size of four standard basketball courts. It has become the industry's leading virtual shooting hardware facility.

On May 16, reporters at the base saw an actor in ancient costume walking on the palace veranda. The buildings, vegetation, light and shadow in the background were all virtually presented by LED screens. Relying on this giant screen, complex and expensive real-life layouts such as war scenes and traffic dynamics are completed by combining virtual scenes with a small amount of real-life scenes. The scene switching speed can reach minutes, which greatly improves shooting efficiency and immersion.

Niu Cong, project coordinator of Bocai Media, said that digital scenery not only saves time and cost, but also enables digital retention and reuse of scenes. In order to support the smooth operation of the huge screen, the site uses optical cables for high-speed transmission and is equipped with 58 high-performance hosts equipped with AI optimization technology to increase response speed by 20%. The team also uses real-time rehearsal technology to achieve high-precision visual scripts, ensuring that the picture is clear and smooth when shooting.

In addition, real-time rendering technology allows directors and actors to instantly preview the final image, avoiding traditional blind adjustments in post-production. Virtual scene team leader Guo Zhiwei said that the new technology has tripled the shooting efficiency. The final shot is the scene completed, and any adjustments can be responded to in real time.

In addition to hardware, Kmoke, a production management system independently developed by Bocai Media, realizes real-time monitoring and management of multi-dimensional data. This year, the system introduces large AI models to integrate text, images, audio, video and other functions to create an integrated intelligent virtual production platform, which is expected to be launched by the end of the year to promote the intelligent upgrading of the industry.

With the development of virtual shooting technology, Deqing County has formed a new film and television industry city with digital film and television and virtual shooting as its core, gathering more than 40 related companies and producing 16 film and television literary works.
