AI services specialist ESTsoft (CEO Jung Sang Won) announced on the 13th that it has constructed a dedicated studio within its building in order to secure the optimal video and audio data needed for high-quality AI virtual human production.

ESTsoft's virtual humans are based on AI technology. Securing high-quality data is very important for this, and with the establishment of a dedicated studio, ESTsoft can further strengthen the core competitiveness of its AI virtual human service 'AI Studio Perso.'

The newly constructed studio is designed to the highest world-class specifications to support the production of AI virtual humans with the highest existing image quality, 8K. It provides an environment capable of realizing up to 8K quality by adopting 6K full-frame cameras, broadcast standard high-end lenses, and a 12G SDI video output method.

In particular, the cameras have been certified by Netflix and meet the specifications to satisfy both broadcasting and films, which means they can be used in a variety of industrial fields utilizing AI virtual humans in the future. A total of three cameras were installed to present not only the front but also the sides of AI virtual humans. ESTsoft is the only one in Korea to offer side images of AI virtual humans.

The voice recording environment is also excellent. High-end boom microphones and pin microphones have been set up inside the studio, and the overall recording environment has been built to professional facility standards.

The lighting and background can also be adjusted to match the concept of the video, with lighting that can change RGB colors and devices that allow chroma key shooting for various purposes.

In particular, high-capacity data filmed in such a way is smoothly provided to related organizations involved in AI virtual human production, such as the development room and design room, from the shooting studio through a 10G-class network.

In addition, a 32-inch large screen prompter with FHD resolution and a separate powder room are provided for the convenience of the studio users.

CEO Jung Sang Won of ESTsoft said, "In order to proactively respond to the rapidly increasing domestic and international market demand for high-quality AI virtual humans, we have constructed a studio." He added, "As we now have a studio with the world's highest standard specifications necessary for the high sophistication of AI virtual humans, we plan to aggressively target the global market from next year."

Meanwhile, the virtual human market has very high growth potential and is receiving global attention. Emergen Research, a global market research company, also predicted that the global virtual human market will grow to 527.58 billion dollars (approximately 700 trillion won) by 2030.
