Supercharging Virtual Production with Cerio
Written by Darci Penney, Director of Sales – Media & Entertainment

In an era where storytelling must move faster, look better and cost less, Virtual Production, is transforming how films, series and commercials are made. At Cerio, we’re at the forefront of this revolution-helping creators blend the real and the digital with unmatched flexibility, and speed.
Virtual production is revolutionizing how stories are told, blending real-time digital environments with physical sets to create cinematic magic. From LED volume walls to AI-enhanced visual effects, today’s studios demand infrastructure that delivers speed, flexibility, and cost-efficiency. Cerio’s Media & Entertainment Package, powered by our Accelerated Computing Platform, is purpose-built to meet these needs, empowering creators to push the boundaries of virtual production.
The Rise of Virtual Production
Productions like The Mandalorian and Avatar: The Way of Water have showcased the power of virtual production, using LED walls and real-time rendering to capture final visuals on set. By 2026, over 50% of studios will embrace this technology to streamline workflows and cut post-production costs (IDC). However, the GPU-intensive demands of tools like Unreal Engine, motion tracking, and LED synchronization require infrastructure that can adapt instantly to creative needs.
How Cerio Transforms Virtual Production
Cerio’s software-defined composable infrastructure redefines what’s possible for virtual production. Here’s why it’s a game-changer:
· Dynamic Resource Allocation: Compose up to eight or more NVIDIA RTX GPUs, NVIDIA Bluefield Cards or other Media Accelerators for high-fidelity rendering or partition resources for multiple workstations, supporting real-time VFX and motion tracking without hardware swaps.
· Scalable Flexibility: From compact Micro Stages to large-scale LED volume setups, Cerio mixes GPUs, DPUs, and Quadro Sync II cards in one chassis, scaling seamlessly for any project size.
· Cost Efficiency: Save up to 50% on infrastructure costs by using off-the-shelf hardware and eliminating idle resources with Cerio’s intelligent allocation.
· High-Speed Workflows: Achieve up to 4x GPU productivity, enabling real-time rendering, AI-driven editing, and live camera tracking with minimal latency.
Real Results for Studios
With Cerio, studios can deploy a virtual production stage where LED walls display dynamic, photorealistic environments synchronized with camera movements in real time. Our platform lets you allocate GPUs for rendering, DPUs for data streaming, and Quadro Sync II for frame-accurate LED wall performance—all within minutes. This agility means faster iterations, fewer reshoots, and stunning visuals captured in-camera, whether you’re shooting a blockbuster or a branded campaign.
Why Cerio Stands Out
Unlike rigid, traditional workstations, Cerio’s PCIe Gen 5.0-compatible platform supports any hardware configuration, from small post-production suites to expansive virtual stages. Its vendor-agnostic design ensures compatibility with leading tools like Unreal Engine and Nuke, while eliminating the need for costly proprietary systems. As studios embrace AI and real-time workflows, Cerio future-proofs your pipeline with unmatched scalability.
