Alfalite, the only European manufacturer of LED screens, has announced that its Modularpix Pro VP XR solution is the core technology behind the new Coruña Immersive Studio (CEI), located in A Coruña (Galicia) and recognised as Spain’s largest virtual production studio. The facility features a striking 28 x 6m LED wall, a 100sqm ceiling screen, and two-side LED totems, incorporating a total of 1,152 Alfalite VP XR LED panels.
The CEI is built on a 2,539sqm site, with 750sqm dedicated to the studio, within A Coruña’s Cidade das TIC technology hub. It consists of two interconnected buildings designed to support high-end virtual productions.
The project was developed in collaboration with Telefónica Servicios Audiovisuales (TSA) and Tangram Solutions, two strategic partners of Alfalite that played a key role in integrating the necessary technology to ensure the studio’s success. The investment was co-financed by the A Coruña Provincial Council and the government of Spain through the Recovery, Transformation, and Resilience Plan.
The centrepiece of the studio is a 28 x 6m semicircular LED wall made up of 672 Alfalite Modularpix Pro VP XR panels with a 1.9mm pixel pitch and a total resolution of 14,336 x 3,072 pixels.
This main display is complemented by a 100sqm ceiling screen featuring Alfalite Modularpix Pro 3.9 HB VP XR panels and two movable side LED totems, each measuring 2.5 x 4m and equipped with Alfalite Modularpix Pro 2.6 VP XR modules. These side screens enhance lighting and reflections for more immersive productions.
In total, the studio integrates 1,152 Alfalite VP XR LED panels, to create a set-up that is designed to enable filmmakers and advertisers to create immersive, dynamic, and hyper-realistic environments with depth and perspective.
The CEI’s technology is further enhanced by Pixotope’s 3D tracking solution, ARRI Alexa cameras, Canon lenses, Novastar MX Series processors, and a Blackmagic video matrix, among other solutions.
Luis Garrido, executive director of Alfalite, said: “We are proud to be part of this project, which is set to become one of Europe’s leading audiovisual hubs for virtual production in film and television. We extend our gratitude to our partners Telefónica Servicios Audiovisuales and Tangram Solutions, who have led this monumental project and trusted our technology to meet the highest industry standards.”
Alfalite’s VP XR LED panels are specifically designed for virtual production ecosystems, allowing real-time interaction with cameras and graphics servers.
Garrido added: “With our Modularpix Pro VP XR solution, the CEI benefits from the best luminance and color spectrum available in high-resolution LED panels, establishing it as a benchmark for the most demanding audiovisual productions.”
Recently inaugurated, the studio is positioned as a key facility for film, television, advertising, and live broadcast productions, attracting both national and international projects.
