*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 company says.

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.
