Worre Studios is a state-of-the-art 25,000 square-foot facility that shifts virtual and traditional events into the future. Situated near the world-famous Las Vegas Strip, Worre Studios provides a unique approach for producers to reach a global audience in the most efficient and impressive ways. From live television broadcasts, product launches, live concerts, awards shows, press conferences, hosting a speaker series or a business meeting, Worre Studios is shaping the future of live and virtual events.

Founded by Marina Worre, Worre Studios was initially designed as a unique solution for translating in-person events into engaging, virtual events amid the pandemic. Today, Worre Studios is accessible to all and can cater to a global audience of creatives.

Worre Studios boasts a stage-in-the-round footprint, surrounded by a technologically-advanced 360-degree 1.9mm 4k LED interactive screen system. By harnessing broadcast-quality audio and video, Worre Studios creates a unique experience by enabling presenters and hosts to interact back and forth with up to 250,000 attendees in real-time. With half of the LED walls on a track system, producers can easily expand the wall to allow room for adding a live audience component to a virtual function, creating the ultimate hybrid experience. Hosts can visually expand the audience field to talk to attendees directly, see and hear their reactions, and constantly interact to keep audiences engaged and on the edge of their seats.

UBEX is the professional AV industry’s leading uncompressed AV-over-IP solution.

The unit allows for uncompressed, high-fidelity signal extension at 4K UHD at 60 hertz (4:4:4) using packet-based transmission. UBEX can simultaneously transmit and receive content with deep-color streams and multi-channel audio. It is designed to be futureproofed while catering to professional AV stakeholders’ needs and expectations.
