Featuring a variety of industry-leading brands like ARRI, Disguise, Unreal Engine, and StYpe, the LED Volume is made up of PIXREAL’s Black Gold Standard Avatar series and ENZO panels, powered by Brompton’s 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors and Tessera XD 10G data distribution units.

Additionally, 188 PIXREAL Enzo3.9 panels form the impressive volume’s ceiling, delivering the brightest studio skyline of Bangkok City.

The studio complex deploys five 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors and 10 Tessera XD 10G data distribution units, delivering stunning visuals and offering industry-leading Tessera features like ShutterSync®, HFR+ (High Frame Rate), and Ultra Low Latency.

Dexter Studios, an award-winning VFX company with a virtual production studio in South Korea, provided system design and consulting for Kantana Group. Their expertise ensured seamless integration of LED technology, optimizing the studio for top-tier virtual production.

“Since opening our new ICVFX VP LED Volume, we’ve been overwhelmed by the positive feedback from the industry, with companies like Netflix coming on board to create their content,” says Mr. Jareuk Kaljareuk, Chairman of Kantana Group. “In fact, we will be shooting an original movie produced by Netflix Thailand this August, which is very exciting!”

All PIXREAL LED panels have been calibrated with Brompton’s Hydra advanced measurement system to enable Dynamic Calibration, the unique technology from Brompton that enables HDR and unleashes the full potential of every LED.
