ESPN's most technologically advanced studio ever built runs on Pixotope.

Studio W in Bristol was stripped back and rebuilt from the ground up over the summer.

From Wednesday 9 September it becomes the permanent home of NFL Live, and the centrepiece studio for college football, NHL and Fantasy Focus Countdown.

The numbers:
🔹 9,200 sq ft of LED
🔹 148M+ pixels in total, 44.7M in the XR volume alone
🔹 Sony HDC-5500s shooting the same multislice virtual scene at once, each camera locked to its own slice
🔹 First Bristol facility capable of 1080p HDR and UHD, on full ST 2110

“The vision for Studio W required capabilities that didn’t exist in off-the-shelf solutions. We needed a platform that could support multiple camera perspectives, operate at the scale of our LED volume, integrate with our production workflows and meet the reliability demands of live sports,” said Jason Black, Sr. Manager, Product Software Engineering, Disney Entertainment and ESPN Product and Technology. “By working closely with Pixotope and building a custom integration, we created a solution tailored to ESPN’s needs that gives us the flexibility to continue developing proprietary tools and experiences on top of a robust rendering platform.”

Analysts don't stand in front of graphics any more. They stand inside them.

Don't let your studio space limit your creative freedom.

Kick. Score. No damage done.
With Pixotope, the ball is virtual - so you can take the shot without ever touching the LED wall.
TalenTrack follows the talent across multiple tracking points on stage, and our graphics engine renders the ball's trajectory straight to the goal in real time.

It's talent tracking at its best - perfect for in-studio explainers, demos, and anything that needs live action without the risk.

See it in action at BIRTV this week at the CMG booth.

BIRTV 2026 is on this week, and Pixotope will be there. This year we are running a live demo on CCTV's booth: Pixotope Vision camera tracking, AR, and XR working together on a virtual football field, with TalenTrack, keeping graphics locked to on-field talent as they move.

If you want to see how these pieces fit into one workflow rather than as separate tools, this is the one to watch.

Our colleagues Xu Yang and Xindi Wang are representing Pixotope at the show and are glad to talk through workflows, integrations, and how broadcasters are putting real-time graphics to work on air.

Come and find us at CCTV booth 6001, August 19 to 22.

Virtual production is not just for broadcast, and ZARA Kids can prove it.

ZARA Kids needed the look and feel of California streets for their Spring/Summer campaign. The catch: they were shooting in January, and flying an entire production across the world was never going to be practical for the pace of fashion.
So the environments came to the studio instead.

Working at Coruña Estudio Inmersivo in Spain, the team captured real Californian locations using Gaussian splatting, then rendered them in real time with Pixotope and the Volinga plugin on an LED wall.
The California streets existed in-camera, on set, with almost none of the post-production compositing a shoot like this would normally demand.
Eight environments were captured, six made the final campaign, and the whole thing was shot in five days.

See how it worked in the full case study: https://hubs.li/Q04sJfs80

How ZARA Kids shot a California-set campaign in Europe using Gaussian splats and real-time workflows to build the environment live on set.

As Europe readies for a solar eclipse - it got us thinking...

With Pixotope, you don't wait for the sky to cooperate. Recreate the eclipse on your own stage - any angle, any timing, any broadcast. Rehearse the shot before the sun even shows up. Replay it after it's gone.

The universe gives you one shot. Pixotope gives you unlimited.

Pixotope. Virtual with Confidence.

BBC Sport covered the majority of the biggest World Cup in history without sending its talent and crew across the Atlantic. The whole studio sat in the UK, more than 4,000 kilometres from the action.

For 2026, the team retired the green screen entirely and built an LED XR stage running an end-to-end HDR pipeline, with Pixotope driving the real-time graphics and camera-tracked environments.

As BBC Sport Design Director John Murphy put it, the goal was to build "a space and a feeling," not a postcard.
