No need for expensive filming equipment... CJ OliveNetworks lowers barriers to K-content production

[Financial News] CJ OliveNetworks has won a Korea Creative Content Agency (KOCCA) project to upgrade a virtual production studio and an ultra-high-definition (UHD) video post-production system. The project supports the AI transformation of K-content production infrastructure, enabling small and midsize production companies and independent creators to use advanced facilities on par with those of major production companies.
According to CJ OliveNetworks on the 9th, the two projects it won are the expansion of the virtual production (VP) studio at Daejeon Studio Cube and the upgrade of the UHD post-production system at the DMS Broadcasting Production Center. Both projects are scheduled to be completed in December.
A large LED wall measuring 18.5 meters wide and 8 meters high will be installed at Daejeon Studio Cube. The ceiling LEDs will be integrated into a single system to create natural lighting and reflection effects, and an all-around tracking system will be introduced to track performers’ movements in real time. This will create a production environment where live-action footage can be seamlessly combined with virtual backgrounds.
The DMS Broadcasting Production Center will replace its aging editing and storage equipment and upgrade its system to UHD standards, from video production through storage and transmission. It plans to improve production stability by upgrading storage, video routers, subtitle and audio equipment, and to meet the video production standards required by global online video services (OTT).
The project focuses on improving small production companies’ and independent creators’ access to advanced production technology. They are expected to be able to reduce production costs and timelines by using public infrastructure without having to build expensive filming and post-production facilities themselves.
Building on this project, CJ OliveNetworks plans to expand its business beyond broadcast and media system construction into areas such as AI-based transmission and archiving, content re-production, and AI-powered broadcasting.
Shin Bong-ho, who oversees broadcasting and media at CJ OliveNetworks, said, “Infrastructure that gives every creator access to the latest production technology is essential.” He added, “Through broadcast and media AX technologies, we will build a foundation for creators’ ideas to grow into global hit IP.”
