United Illusions and Visual Europe Group deployed a 400-square-meter LED volume and virtual production workflow to support the 2025 season of the classical music talent show Virtuosos. The production integrated ROE Visual panels, Brompton Technology processing, and ARRI lighting to create a cinematic environment for a 12-camera broadcast.
This deployment demonstrates the migration of high-end virtual production tools from scripted cinema into large-scale, multi-camera broadcast formats. By utilizing ROE Visual and Brompton Technology hardware, the production achieved a cinematic aesthetic that traditionally requires extensive post-production, now delivered in a repeatable television workflow. This shift signals a growing appetite for immersive visual environments in non-scripted programming to capture younger audiences. As these workflows mature, the industry should monitor if similar LED volume integrations become standard for high-budget talent competitions seeking to differentiate their visual identity in a fragmented market.
United Illusions, part of Visual Europe Group, operates one of the largest virtual production complexes in Europe with nearly 2,000 square meters of studio capacity across three stages near Budapest. The facility's permanent LED volume is built entirely from ROE Visual Black Pearl BP2V2 panels, featuring a 28-meter-wide curved main wall with a pixel count of 9,856 by 2,112, a tiltable 5.5-meter LED ceiling, and a 4-by-4-meter mobile wild wall that can be reconfigured per production. The studio complex was designed to accommodate international filmmakers, television producers, and commercial work under one roof, with steel rigging grids and high-capacity server rooms on each stage.
The facility holds a rare distinction in the virtual production space. United Illusions received ARRI Stage Accreditation after a rigorous evaluation covering ARRI Color Management for Virtual Production and ARRI Live Link Metadata integration, making it one of very few facilities worldwide to earn that designation. The studio's base camera and lighting package includes ARRI Alexa 35 bodies, Signature Zoom lenses in 24 to 75 mm focal lengths, 48 SkyPanel S60-C fixtures, and 10 Orbiters controlled via GrandMA3, all aligned with ARRI's color pipeline standards for the LED volume.
Beyond Virtuosos, United Illusions and Visual Europe Group have demonstrated the scalability of their LED infrastructure for large-scale live events. The grand opening of the United Illusions Virtual Production Studio won the Best Use of Technology award at the 2025 Unicorn Awards, where a 600-square-meter LED setup combined with holography, moving trusses, and AI-driven installations created an environment in which live-filmed sequences were edited and projected back within minutes. The event required coordination among 140 staff members, underscoring the operational complexity that the studio's permanent infrastructure is designed to support for broadcast and live productions at scale.
United Illusions recently supported the classical music talent show Virtuosos by deploying a massive 400-square-meter LED environment. By integrating ROE Visual panels and Brompton Technology, the production achieved a cinematic aesthetic for a 12-camera broadcast. This deployment highlights the successful migration of high-end virtual production tools into large-scale, non-scripted television formats.
The production featured a 28-meter-long studio LED wall supplemented by 200 square meters of additional ROE Black Pearl V2 panels, totaling 400 square meters of LED surface.
The production utilized ROE Visual panels and Brompton Technology processing to manage the LED environment and deliver the cinematic broadcast.
The 12-camera broadcast of Virtuosos reached a reported 140 million viewers worldwide.
The accreditation recognizes the studio's adherence to ARRI Color Management for Virtual Production and ARRI Live Link Metadata integration, making it one of the few facilities worldwide to hold this designation.
