Los Angeles, USA — September 28, 2025
NantStudios, a global innovator in virtual production, has officially launched Stage #2 in Los Angeles, featuring the world’s first Dynamic Volume System (DVS) — a groundbreaking reconfigurable LED volume that sets a new standard for in-camera visual effects (ICVFX).
At the heart of this milestone are 2,336 units of AOTO RM1.5 LED displays, delivering cinematic image quality with a 7680Hz refresh rate, 99.9% DCI-P3 color gamut, and ultra-low reflectivity. Combined with AOTO’s patented Mini 4-in-1 LED design, the RM series effectively suppresses moiré while doubling the light-emitting aperture ratio from 40% to 80%, ensuring seamless, lifelike visuals under the most demanding shooting conditions.
Dynamic Creativity with AOTO LED Technology
Unlike traditional fixed-volume stages, NantStudios’ DVS is built on WallPods, a modular LED system designed for rapid reconfiguration. With AOTO RM1.5 panels, the system enables:
- Full mobility with omni-directional wheels for flexible repositioning
- Auto-leveling sensors that guarantee stability during adjustments
- Seamless connections with <0.1mm installation tolerance through AOTO’s modular assembly + intelligent calibration process
This meticulous engineering ensures uninterrupted, photorealistic performance even during large-scale volume reshaping, giving directors and cinematographers unprecedented creative freedom.
Global Expertise, Local Delivery
NantStudios’ choice of AOTO was informed by the company’s proven track record:
- 100+ virtual production projects worldwide tailored to balance performance and cost
- On-site support from AOTO’s professional engineering teams, ensuring flawless execution
- A 24/7 global service network backed by proprietary remote operation and maintenance systems, enabling minute-level diagnostics and repair
This end-to-end expertise — from design through post-deployment support — ensures AOTO technology is not just innovative but also reliable at scale.
Recognized by the World’s Leading Studios and Tech Giants
AOTO’s LED solutions have already powered some of the world’s most iconic virtual productions:
- The neon-drenched Gotham nights in The Batman
- The aerial combat sequences of Apple TV’s Masters of the Air
The company’s innovations are trusted by NVIDIA, Meta, Amazon AWS, Microsoft, Google, Tencent, China Film Group, and Korea’s XON, among many others.
From Hollywood blockbusters to global technology leaders, AOTO has become a preferred partner in pushing the boundaries of virtual storytelling.
AOTO: Proud to Support NantStudios’ Vision
The Dynamic Volume System is not only a milestone for virtual production but also a testament to NantStudios’ leadership in pioneering new creative platforms.
“Stage #2 reinforces NantStudios’ position as a global leader in next-generation virtual production. We are proud that our RM1.5 LED technology could support NantStudios’ vision, helping to deliver a platform that transforms how stories are created,” said Bing, Vice President of AOTO USA.
