Zero Density has announced the project for implementing its solutions to the news studio in the newly built facility of Virginia Public Media (VPM), in partnership with Broadcast Management Group (BMG), as it has claimed in a statement.

Virginia’s home for public media, VPM started working with BMG as the managed services provider for technology integration and outfitting of the new broadcast facility. This new facility has the objective to enhance VPM’s capabilities and serve the community it supports. To implement storytelling and try to empower the news studios with virtual studio production, BMG partnered with Zero Density.

The virtual studio setup was originally designed to support VPM’s news studio. After recognizing the system’s potential, VPM expanded its scope to serve more productions. Therefore, the news studio will also be utilized by external client productions in addition to VPM’s news coverages.

“We’re excited to engage with Zero Density and see what it can provide to our daily operation and supporting the Richmond, VA production community with virtual studio technology”, affirms Harry Orell, VP of Technology at VPM.

Todd Mason, CEO of Broadcast Management Group, explains that its involvement with the project began at the consulting phase where they helped determine workflows, technology solutions, and space planning. “Since then, we have committed to providing ground-up support to fully outfit VPM’s new facility with state-of-the-art technology and workflows to support current and future operations. Together with Zero Density, we are excited to provide the new broadcast facility that is equipped with only the most advanced capabilities”.

“We are excited to provide cutting-edge storytelling with our valued regional partner, Broadcast Management Group to Virginia Public Media. As the reliable and forward-thinking industry partner of our clients, we are excited to work with BMG and VPM in delivering news with our advanced virtual studio solutions and transforming the local community with advanced technology”, concludes Barış Zavaroğlu, CEO of Zero Density
