Certified Labs

The Labs tier brings the Synapse standard to virtual production facilities that are not built to book: university and college stages, corporate R&D labs, and research institutes where the next generation of VP talent, tooling, and technique is built and proven.

Certified Labs

The Labs tier brings the Synapse standard to virtual production facilities that are not built to book: university and college stages, corporate R&D labs, and research institutes where the next generation of VP talent, tooling, and technique is built and proven.

Certified-grade infrastructure, built to develop

Studio-tier stages are built to book. Labs are built to develop. A Certified Lab meets the same technical and workflow benchmarks as our production stages. The difference is its mission: teaching, training, research, and R&D rather than day-rate shoots.

The same benchmark

Labs are audited against the Synapse standard our production stages meet: calibration, tracking, color, and pipeline. Certified-grade means the same thing on campus as it does on set.

A real talent and technology pipeline

Certified Labs build the people and the technology the rest of the network depends on. Students, researchers, and in-house engineers work against the same benchmark as the stage floor, and what they prove out moves straight into professional virtual production.

One shared language

Skills and workflows learned in a lab transfer directly to a certified shoot, because every lab speaks the same technical language as every stage.

Room to push the standard

Free of day-rate pressure, labs are where new capture, rendering, and pipeline ideas get proven before they reach the stage floor.

Built for campuses, corporate R&D, and research institutes

If you are standing up virtual production for teaching, training, or research, whether that is a university, a brand's in-house content team, or a corporate R&D group, certification gives your facility a recognized standard to build toward and a place in the network once you are there.

Universities & film schools

Give students hands-on time on certified-grade VP and a credential the industry already recognizes.

Training & workforce programs

Teach on infrastructure that mirrors the professional stages your people will actually work on.

Corporate R&D and innovation labs

Prototype and validate new VP tools and techniques in an environment held to a production standard, whether the lab sits inside a studio, a brand, or a technology company.

Campus and facility integrations

Turn a new or existing build, on campus or in house, into a certified node of the wider Synapse network.

How a lab gets certified

Certification is a partnership, not a plaque. We benchmark your facility against the Synapse standard, help you close the gaps, and bring your lab into the network.

Assess

We benchmark your space, hardware, and workflows against the Synapse standard and map exactly where you stand today.

Align

We work with your team to close the gaps in calibration, pipeline, and training until the lab clears the certified bar.

Certify

Your facility earns Synapse Certified Lab status, with the standard documented and repeatable.

Connect

The lab joins the network: shared standards, shared language, and a direct line to the studios, agencies, and partners across Synapse Certified.

Bring certified VP to your facility

Whether you are launching a new lab or raising the bar on an existing one, on campus or in house, we will help you build to the standard.
