CJ OliveNetworks said on Nov. 9 it won contracts for an additional build-out of a virtual production (VP) studio at the Korea Creative Content Agency's Daejeon Studio Cube and for an upgrade of the UHD post-production system at the Digital Magic Space (DMS) broadcasting production center.

CJ OliveNetworks plans to upgrade the two facilities to the level of a large studio based on its experience building VP studios. Both projects are scheduled for completion in December 2026.

The company said the Daejeon Studio Cube VP studio will upgrade the virtual production environment with an expansion design compatible with existing equipment.

The DMS broadcasting production center UHD post-production system upgrade will implement the latest facilities for post-production video processes such as editing and storage for independent production companies. It will support the establishment of a UHD production workflow, system stability based on storage and routers, and stronger operational continuity.

The Korea Creative Content Agency said it expects the project to allow small and medium-sized production companies and independent creators to use cutting-edge VP and UHD equipment as public infrastructure, significantly reducing production costs and time. CJ OliveNetworks aims to use the project to expand its scope from broadcast media systems integration to AI-based playout and archiving, AI content remastering, and AI broadcasting.

Shin Bong-ho (신봉호), head of broadcasting and media at CJ OliveNetworks, said, "To support the global growth of K-content, infrastructure that enables any creator to access the latest production technology is essential." He added, "With CJ OliveNetworks' broadcast media AX technology, we will ensure the Korea Creative Content Agency's creator support policy leads to on-the-ground results and build a foundation for creators' ideas to grow into global hit IP."
