"With the new LED stage at our McCook location, we are able to offer advanced production service to augment our live video switching suites already in operation," said Eric Hansen, Vice President, Sales for PRG. "This studio is designed for livestreaming or recording of corporate presentations like keynotes, product launches and town halls as well as music and commercial shoots. We believe PRG's studio, with its enhanced environment capabilities is a great resource for Chicago's advertising industry as they explore new ways to shoot ads quickly and cost effectively."

The Chicago digital studio boasts over 3,000 square feet with a 45 x 33-foot stage and offers PRG proprietary solutions, such as:

PRG Enhanced Environments™ state-of-the-art green screen replacement using LED screens to create natural-looking backgrounds and lighting reflections on set;
Ncam® providing in-camera previsualization and real-time camera tracking; and
35LIVE!™ Multi-camera production technology that combines the power and immediacy of broadcast television with the soft look and feel of film production delivered to screens of any size.

The large space can easily handle car process as the studio features flexible LED ceiling panels, floor and walls and a large entrance that a car or SUV can be driven into, and it can accommodate large set pieces. Additionally, the digital studio is close to PRG's Chicago camera prep facility so PRG can easily supply cameras, lenses, and other services to meet the needs of advertising agencies and commercial producers.
