VANTeC Drives Technological Innovation In EMAV’s New Virtual Studio

The inauguration of Empresa de Meios Audiovisuais’ (EMAV’s) first virtual studio in Lisbon marks a major technological milestone for the Portuguese audio and video media sector.

At the heart of this achievement is VANTeC, responsible for the complete system integration that powers the facility. Featuring a 25 x 5-metre 1.9 mm pitch LED wall and an 8 x 5-metre 3.9 mm pitch LED ceiling, powered by Alfalite LED panels, this new virtual studio positions EMAV among the most advanced virtual production facilities in Europe, prepared for the present and future of content creation.

VANTeC played a decisive role in the design, integration and commissioning of the entire system, ensuring a robust, reliable and scalable solution capable of meeting the demanding standards of film, television and commercial production on an international scale. Drawing on extensive experience in complex broadcast and audiovisual integration projects, and in collaboration with technology partners Alfalite and Pixotope, VANTeC delivered an infrastructure that combines high technical quality, creative flexibility and operational efficiency.

The project was conceived as a strategic collaboration between EMAV, VANTeC and their international technology partners, aiming to provide the Portuguese market with a virtual production facility on par with Europe’s leading studios. This synergy of engineering expertise, creativity and strategic vision strengthens EMAV’s position as a technological benchmark, reinforcing Media Capital Group’s commitment to innovation and technical excellence.
