Real-World Implementation of SMPTE 2110 for In-Camera Visual Effects

Explore the practical implementation of SMPTE 2110 technology for in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) in this 44-minute conference talk from Unreal Fest Stockholm 2025. Discover how SMPTE 2110 integration with tiled inner frustum rendering in Unreal Engine addresses one of the most persistent challenges in virtual production: background softness caused by resolution limits in render cluster performance. Learn about the architecture, workflows, and system design considerations required to build scalable and flexible SMPTE 2110-based render clusters for different production types. Understand the content creation aspects, including scene authoring techniques that maximize the benefits of this setup, based on real-world production experience. Examine the key advantages of SMPTE 2110 integration and tiled inner frustum rendering in terms of performance improvements, resolution enhancement, and system scalability compared to previous virtual production configurations. Gain practical insights into designing and deploying SMPTE 2110 systems for ICVFX workflows, and explore future possibilities that this technology unlocks for the virtual production industry.
