Now, thanks to a massive curved, 65x18-foot Planar CarbonLight CLI VX-B Series LED video wall and a nearly 30x10-foot articulating LED ceiling comprised of an 18x6 Planar CarbonLight CLI VX-B Series LED video wall (both with a 2.6mm pixel pitch), Pier 59 Studios has a new virtual stage to bring action-packed visuals to life.

Equally important to the massive, robust video walls was the flexible system with the added benefit of the four LED movable carts. The carts can be moved to smaller sets and daisy chained together to create new immersive production sets.
