WWE has opened a new 30,040 square foot, state-of-the-art production facility equipped with five studios, and a cutting-edge virtual production stage.
The stage has been built in collaboration with AbelCine and Meptik and features technology from Sony Electronics and disguise.
Located within the recently constructed WWE headquarters in Stamford, Conn., The Studios at WWE aims to help the sport serve a broad spectrum of clientele across broadcast, film and production.
The full-service production facility includes a Cyclorama, two production control rooms, two live audio rooms, robotic camera control, two playback rooms, editing suites, seven post-audio suites, two green rooms, dressing rooms and office space.
Its purpose-built virtual production stage has been designed by AbelCine, who also installed the camera and lighting for the studios, while Meptik worked on the design, installation, and integration of the virtual production stage.
It leverages Sony’s latest generation Crystal LED VERONA as well as two mobile LED carts that can be moved around the set. WWE is the first U.S. facility to install Crystal LED VERONA, implementing a total of 158 cabinets across its main wall and auxiliary carts.
The stage is powered by disguise, with three disguise VX 4+ media servers that were chosen for their playback performance and flexibility to power content of any size, format and complexity, said WWE.
