CJ OliveNetworks has secured contracts from the Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) to enhance public content production infrastructure, supporting the artificial intelligence transformation (AX) of K-content production.
On November 9, CJ OliveNetworks announced that it won contracts for the expansion of the Daejeon StudioCube Virtual Production (VP) Studio and the upgrade of the UHD post-production system at the Digital Magic Space (DMS) broadcasting production center. Both projects are set to be completed by December.
The focus of these projects is to upgrade public production facilities so that small production companies and independent creators can utilize advanced content production infrastructure.
The Daejeon StudioCube VP Studio expansion project aims to enhance the virtual production environment while ensuring compatibility with existing equipment. The main LED wall will be expanded to 18.5 meters wide and 8 meters high, with additional processors and media servers to improve color uniformity and image quality.
The existing three-part ceiling LED will be integrated into a single unit to create a natural ambient light and reflection effect. It will also be designed to operate in a segmented manner as needed. Trusses will be reinforced to securely support the large screen.
A new omnidirectional tracking system will be introduced to track performers' movements in real-time, seamlessly integrating live-action footage with virtual backgrounds through camera and media server coordination. Additionally, floor leveling work and the introduction of filming and lighting equipment will enhance the safety and quality of the production environment.
The DMS broadcasting production center project focuses on improving the UHD post-production environment for independent production companies, including editing and storage. CJ OliveNetworks plans to establish a UHD production workflow in response to aging equipment and the end of technical support, enhancing production stability through upgraded storage and router-based systems.
KOCCA expects that these projects will allow small production companies and independent creators to access the latest VP and UHD production facilities as public infrastructure. This initiative aims to reduce production costs and timelines while strengthening the domestic content production foundation.
Shin Bong-ho, head of broadcasting at CJ OliveNetworks, stated, “To support the global growth of K-content, it is essential for creators to have access to the latest production technology. With CJ OliveNetworks' broadcasting media AX technology, we aim to translate KOCCA's creator support policies into tangible results, laying the groundwork for creators' ideas to evolve into globally successful IPs.”
