With Zero Density’s virtual studio solutions, Virginia Public Media (VPM) utilizes next-level storytelling and opens the studio to external parties, transforming the content creation for the local area.
Zero Density announced the project for implementing its solutions to the news studio in the newly built facility of Virginia Public Media (VPM), in partnership with Broadcast Management Group (BMG).
Virginia’s home for public media, VPM started working with BMG as the managed services provider for comprehensive technology integration and outfitting of the new broadcast facility. This new facility represents a vital step forward in delivering high-quality broadcast and digital media services to enhance VPM’s capabilities and serve the community it supports. To implement the next level of storytelling and empower the news studios with virtual studio production, BMG partnered with Zero Density.
The virtual studio setup was originally designed to support VPM’s news studio. After recognizing the system’s full potential, VPM expanded its scope to serve a broader range of productions. Therefore, the news studio will also be utilized by external client productions in addition to VPM’s news coverages, opening up limitless creative possibilities to local companies.
Zero Density leads the virtual studio production globally since introducing Unreal Engine to broadcasting a decade ago. With drastically improved graphics quality, combined with a real-time compositing pipeline and unparalleled keying capabilities, Zero Density offers an unrivaled solution. The Reality5 platform provides a streamlined architecture, delivering extraordinary quality while maintaining reliability, efficiency, and seamless integration.
