One of the most advanced virtual production stages in the world, second only to Martin Scorsese's VP centre in New York. Delivered with our integration partner ProAV Solutions.
The Void at Flinders University: a curved Dicolor MX191 LED volume for in-camera virtual production and motion capture, delivered with ProAV Solutions.
The Void is a cornerstone of Flinders' world-ranked Master of Virtual Production program, blending Unreal Engine workflows, motion capture and immersive LED to redefine how screen stories are made.
It has supported productions at the highest levels of the film industry. Delivering that vision took more than technology. It took a partner who understood how to design and support a tailored LED volume built for real cinematic production.
Working hand in hand with ProAV Solutions, that is exactly what we delivered, and we have stood beside Flinders as their technical partner for the past five years.
A curved MX191 volume wraps the performer in the scene and holds parallax as the camera moves, calibrated for colour and uniformity on capture.
Integrated with Unreal Engine and camera tracking so the background reacts in real time with correct parallax, not just a playback screen.
Robust enough to run alongside motion capture for teaching, research and production, shoot after shoot, every day.
A cinema camera is far less forgiving than the human eye. At normal shutter speeds it picks up flicker and scan lines an audience would never notice. We specified the MX191 running a 7680 Hz refresh rate on MBI5264 driver ICs, which keeps the image clean and banding-free across the shutter speeds and frame rates a working production actually uses.
The volume had to sit inside a real-time pipeline, not just play video. Working with ProAV Solutions, we integrated the wall with Unreal Engine and camera tracking so the background reacts to camera movement with correct parallax, and tuned brightness between 1200 and 1500 nits so the screen lights the talent and the scene reads correctly in-camera, not only to the eye.
A flat wall breaks the illusion the moment a camera moves. We built the screen as a curve to hold parallax and wrap the performer in the environment, then calibrated colour and uniformity for capture. Five years on we are still Flinders' technical partner, because a volume that teaches and shoots every day needs someone who picks up the phone.
The Void has allowed us to explore virtual production not as a static tool, but as an evolving creative language. The support from Dicolor ensured we had a foundation we could trust as we pushed that language forward.
Cameron Mackness, Flinders UniversityWe didn't just sell a screen. We helped build a platform for global innovation. Great LED volumes require more than technology. They require trust, collaboration and people who care about getting it right.
