Macroblock, a Taiwan-based company providing LED integrated circuits, has partnered with Moonshine Animation, a visual effects company based in Taiwan, to build an LED wall extended reality studio in Taipei, according to a company press release.

    The studio is equipped with a real-time camera tracking system and high-quality 4x4K LED displays of 1.25 mm pitch with 3840 visual refresh rate, which allows video shooting at up to 60 frames per second.

    The latest two projects shot in the LED wall XR studio in May 2021 were the cover of Vogue Taiwan and a launch event for the Republic of Gamers, a gaming organization, hosted by ASUS, an electronics company based in Taiwan.

    "I was very impressed with the P1.25 LED displays as I could do close-up shots at ease," Johnny Chiang, producer the VOGUE project, said in the release. "I've been using LED displays for music video and commercial shootings for years, but the pixel pitches of LED displays in the market are usually 3mm or more making it impossible to take close-up shots.

    "A smaller pitch LED display usually costs me substantially more. So I'm extremely satisfied with the video quality this time, and I look forward to shooting more projects in this studio."

    Macroblock has been studying virtual production and extended reality for almost two years, and collaborating with Moonshine will help it obtain first-hand information on users' feedback on the visual effects of the LED walls and challenges encountered during camera shooting, according to the release.
