The stage

Brainstorm describes itself, on its own site as retrieved 16 September 2026, as 'a specialist company dedicated to providing industry-leading real-time 3D graphics and virtual set solutions for broadcast, feature film production and corporate presentations since 1993.' InfinitySet is its flagship real-time virtual-studio product, described on its own product page as 'the most advanced virtual production, XR and AR solution' that 'integrates perfectly in any broadcast workflow and environment.' Both pages are living documents describing a long-running product line rather than a single dated release.

What the documents establish

The vendor's own list of solutions, virtual studios, motion graphics, news and sports, election graphics, presentations, augmented reality, weather, entertainment and education, is dominated by broadcast categories, and the homepage's tagline is 'Real-Time 3D Graphics & Virtual Production Software for Broadcast.' InfinitySet's product page states it uses TrackFree, described as 'patented camera-tracking independent technology' compatible with 'any tracking system, trackless or fixed cameras, or a combination of these,' plus 'several internal chroma keyers.' Film and drama use is named directly but narrowly: the page lists 'XR Set extensions, or even backgrounds' as a use case for film and drama production, alongside the broadcast use cases it documents in far more depth. That asymmetry is the vendor's own, not this site's inference.

The department view

InfinitySet's documented workflow puts a virtual-studio operator or technical director at the controls, running live chroma-keyed composites for a news, sports or entertainment broadcast, typically in a control room adjacent to a green-screen or small-scale set rather than a large LED volume. Where the vendor names film and drama use, it frames InfinitySet as adding XR set extensions or backgrounds to an existing shoot rather than replacing an ICVFX volume's tracked LED wall. A production considering InfinitySet for film work should expect a vendor whose deepest documentation, support material and named case studies are broadcast-oriented, per the vendor's own site structure.

What to check before you build

This is an editorial checklist. Confirm whether a given InfinitySet deployment is running a broadcast virtual-studio setup or the narrower XR Set extensions use case the vendor names for film, since the two are documented at very different depths. Verify TrackFree's compatibility with a production's specific tracking hardware directly with Brainstorm, since 'any tracking system' is a vendor claim about compatibility, not an independently tested benchmark. Check whether the chroma-keying tools named on the product page meet a film production's compositing standards, which are typically higher than a live-broadcast keying tolerance.

  • Is this InfinitySet deployment a broadcast virtual studio or a film-set XR extension, and does that match the vendor's own use-case description?
  • What tracking hardware will TrackFree actually run against, and has Brainstorm confirmed compatibility for that specific rig?
  • Does the chroma-keying quality documented meet this production's compositing tolerance, not just a live-broadcast one?

InfinitySet is a long-running broadcast product with a stated but secondary film use case. Treating the two as interchangeable overstates what Brainstorm's own materials claim for the smaller of the two markets.
