Unilumin and Pixotope join up to bring XR to broadcasters

Unilumin is partnering with virtual production platform Pixotope to provide broadcasters with a purpose-built XR solution.

The easy-to-deploy turnkey package will be showcased at ISE on Unilumin’s stand, where Pixotope XR Edition will power a two-wall Unilumin LED volume XR stage with graphics and camera tracking capabilities.

Pixotope XR Edition streamlines and simplifies the setup and operation of XR environments, reducing bespoke engineering requirements.

Unilumin LED volumes, which are used by Televisa Mexico, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, NBC’s New Year’s Eve broadcast, the UK’s X Factor, and Sky TV’s Sport Studio among others, feature a small-pixel design which preserves image output quality in XR environments.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Unilumin for ISE; they’re the defacto experts in LED volume technology and provide the vast majority of volumes being used in the M&E industry,” said Pixotope CEO Marcus Brodersen.“This partnership enables us to achieve our mutual goal of making extended reality more accessible to the broadcast market.”

“We look forward to welcoming our new partners to the stand at ISE in January,” says Jaelyn Li, general manager of Unilumin Rental Industry. “Pixotope is an ideal complementary partner for Unilumin. Their XR Edition removes much of the complexity and guesswork around XR, which allows users to tap into the creative potential XR stages without needing engineering expertise or bespoke solutions.”
