Gencom Delivers Virtual Production Environment for TAFE NSW

Developed in collaboration with ULA Group, Mo-Sys Engineering, and a team of leading technology partners, the project delivers a commercial-grade learning environment that prepares students for the future of screen production.

Gencom Technology has completed delivery of a cutting-edge virtual production environment for TAFE NSW at its St Leonards campus.

Designed to mirror a commercial virtual production environment, the upgrade to Studio A gives TAFE NSW students access to the same technologies, production methodologies, and collaborative workflows used across today’s film, television, and live production industries. Developed with best-in-class technologies from leading industry partners, it represents one of the most advanced virtual production learning environments in Australia’s vocational education sector.

The TAFE NSW St Leonards LED volume was funded through the Australian Government’s TAFE Technology Fund, ensuring students across TAFE campuses in Australia have access to contemporary, industry-standard technology.

As lead systems integrator for the project, Gencom was responsible for designing, integrating, and commissioning a fully integrated production ecosystem featuring a VuePix LED volume with Brompton processing, Mo-Sys StarTracker camera tracking, Unreal Engine real-time rendering, and ARRI camera systems, in collaboration with TAFE NSW. These technologies are supported by the media, networking, lighting, and control infrastructure that enables every element to operate as a single production environment.

David Barnard, Managing Director of Gencom Technology, said: “Virtual production relies on a complex relationship between multiple technologies. Our role was to design an environment where that complexity disappears, allowing students and educators to focus on production, collaboration, and creativity instead of the technology itself.”

James Uren, Chief Technical Officer at Mo-Sys Engineering, said successful virtual production depends on carefully balancing technical sophistication with creative flexibility, while Jake Horsburgh, National Virtual Production Specialist at ULA Group, said the completed studio reflects the standard of a professional production facility. Jory Enright, Chief Operating Officer at ULA Group, added that investing in the infrastructure behind the scenes is critical to creating a production environment built for long-term success.

The completed virtual production environment provides TAFE with a future-ready platform that immerses students in authentic production workflows, bringing together best-in-class technologies and decades of systems integration expertise to create environments designed around the people who use them.
