Together with LG Electronics, CoPilotXR’s on-set virtual production team helped showcase the latest LG MAGNIT display products, designed specifically for ICVFX virtual production. LG’s show-stopping booth, brought in over 30,000 attendees from over 115 different countries.

Andy Beaudet, Senior Account Manager, DVLED, Broadcast and Live Events, LG Electronics, said, “Partnerships are crucial to this industry because no one can do it all themselves. Having content creation partners that really understand how to build the proper content for the LED wall to make it really shine and be a virtual environment on camera are essential… it can be a difficult path to take sometimes, but if you know how to do it and do it well, like the folks at CoPilot do, you’ll be in great shape.”

A significant highlight of the show was the unveiling of the new LG MAGNIT virtual production studio Micro LED. Engineered with a resilient black coating on the surface, and COB [Chip on board] technology, this addition caters particularly to the demanding nature of virtual production studios.
