Revealing the “Power of Unilumin” Behind the Visual Behind the 2026 Spring Festival Gala

On New Year's Eve, February 16, China Central Radio and Television's "2026 Spring Festival Gala" arrived as scheduled.

This Spring Festival Gala continues the integrated innovation concept of "idea + art + technology" and makes extensive use of cutting-edge technologies such as AI, AR, and XR to create an immersive three-dimensional stage visual effect. It is worth noting that Unilumin Technology, the domestic LED display leader, has been deeply involved in the visual technology support of this national cultural event for the fifth consecutive year.

This year, under the coordination of the Taiwan Technical Bureau and the Spring Festival Gala directing team, Unilumin not only provided top XR screen hardware support for the main venue in Beijing, but also deeply participated in the production of stage visual effects and digital assets for more than 10 programs. From "physical vision" to "digital content", Unilumin provides all-round and in-depth participation to provide Chinese people around the world with a sensory feast that is highly compatible with technology and art.

The popular song program "Building the Future with Intelligence" is jointly created by Unilumin Technology and Magic Atomic and other high-tech enterprises

Behind the scenes, XR displays full-link "double backup"

In addition to the hard-core support on the content side, Unilumin's hardware side also builds the "technical foundation" of the stage in the silent place. In the main venue auditorium and stage F area, Unilumin built a large-scale "facade screen + floor tile screen" XR background screen and implementation rendering system. In terms of real-time rendering of cameras and AR virtual content, it met the multi-camera broadcast requirements and broke the physical boundaries between the audience and the audience.

Song "Ji Liang"

Against the background that the Spring Festival Gala live broadcast puts forward extreme safety requirements, Unilumin XR display system realizes the parallel operation of main and backup channels through a complete set of dual backup designs for power, power and signals. This system ensures "zero flicker and zero breakpoints" in live broadcast images and meets the stringent standards of global broadcasting with high reliability.

In order to ensure the continuous and stable operation of the system, Unilumin's special technical team of more than 20 people is on-site to provide support and perform daily refined inspections. The process covers daily on-off testing after power supply, stage screen temperature monitoring and other aspects. All inspections are recorded, forming a complete technical support link.

AIGC empowerment makes cultural imagination “within reach”

This Spring Festival Gala features exciting creative, singing, dancing, opera and other programs. Technology is no longer just a background, but has become part of the narrative. Unilumin's content team helps the director team achieve the cross-border integration of traditional culture and modern technology through the output of "hardware + content" one-stop solutions.

The song "Building the Future with Intelligence"

For example, the song "Building the Future with Intelligence" was jointly created by Unilumin Technology and high-tech enterprises such as Magic Atom. VR glasses, Beidou navigation, drones and other technological elements are transformed into shocking digital visions. Jordan Chan, Jerry Yan, Luo Jiahao and Yi Yang Qianxi sang in a futuristic time and space. Unilumin used AIGC technology to concretely demonstrate the leap from "Made in China" to "Intelligent Manufacturing in China".

Song "Little Family Every Year"

In the visual presentation of multiple Spring Festival Gala programs, the Unilumin team relied on digital technology to provide customized support for different performance content. In the program "Little Family Nian Nian", the team used digital brushstroke technology to combine Suzhou Pingtan elements with visual special effects to meticulously restore the life scenes in Jiangnan; during the singing session of "You Are Well", real-time rendering technology was used to create the stage atmosphere and intuitively present the emotional core of the song.

Dance "Ancient Rhythm of the Silk Road"

Dance "Happy Rain"

In the creation of visual content around the theme of the "Year of the Horse" for this Spring Festival Gala, Unilumin's team carefully produced relevant digital visual assets. From "The Ancient Rhythm of the Silk Road", "The Galloping Sea Horse" to "Ji Liang", the team transformed traditional horse cultural imagery into dynamic stage vision through digital technology.

In addition, in various programs with different styles such as "Home Visitor's Guide", "New Year's Voice", "Spring Light in the Liyuan" and "Dream Bottom", Unilumin's content team has participated in the visual design and implementation, using digital means to assist in the stage presentation of artistic concepts.

Five years of journey together, using optical display technology to protect the Chinese New Year

In the stage presentation of the 2026 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, the integration of technology and art once again became the focus. This is also the fifth consecutive year that display solution provider Unilumin Technology and China Central Radio and Television have reached cooperation.

Looking back on the past, from the introduction of a 720° curved screen in 2022, to the application of AI spatial rendering and spatial computing technology in 2025, to the deep integration of AIGC and XR this year, Unilumin Technology has continued to lead innovation in the field of light display technology. Unilumin Technology stated that in the future, it will focus on the further integration of technology and art, improve the audio-visual experience through technological iteration, and present richer Spring Festival Gala content to global audiences.
