The Spring Festival Gala of China Central Radio and Television Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "CNR") is the most influential cultural symbol of the Chinese Spring Festival. For 43 years, the headquarters has continuously promoted the integration and innovation of "ideology+art+technology", turning the Spring Festival Gala into a grand stage for showcasing media technology. In 2026, multiple embodied robots from China will once again perform on the Spring Festival Gala, 'dancing' to new heights of technology; The CCTV Listening Media Big Model 2.0 is first used for the production of Spring Festival Gala content, greatly improving the quality and efficiency of Spring Festival Gala production with the help of image content generation and hyper realistic digital human technology; The ultra HD audio-visual technology and equipment, such as Jingcai video and Jingcai sound, which are led by the State Key Laboratory of Ultra HD in the General Station, are fully applied to the full media ultra HD fusion production and large and small screen ultra HD fusion transmission of the Spring Festival Gala. ”Jiang Wenbo, a member of the editorial committee of the headquarters, stated in an interview with Science and Technology Daily on February 12th. In 2026, the CCTV Spring Festival Gala will continue to promote the integration of all media and ultra high definition production. The 4K Spring Festival Gala ultra high definition production system has deployed multiple special shooting systems such as CNC robotic arms, vertical cableways, and four-dimensional cableways in the main broadcasting hall, with up to 8 virtual channels; Set up 2 camera positions behind the main stage screen, and according to the shooting needs of the program, open windows on the main screen at the appropriate time for telephoto shooting and virtual production. ”Jiang Wenbo introduced. This year's Spring Festival Gala adopts the latest independently developed technology of the main station - full media ultra high definition production and broadcasting technology for vertical ultra high definition production for the first time. The full media ultra high definition production and broadcasting technology is based on China's independent video and audio encoding and decoding technology, and is compatible with relevant international encoding and decoding technologies. It has the ability of ultra-low latency transmission, accurate time synchronization, and convenient network access. The vertical ultra high definition Spring Festival Gala will be live broadcast on 'Central Video', "said Jiang Wenbo. This year, the Spring Festival Gala broadcasting hall will use 120 immersive effect speakers to construct a 360 ° matrix multi-channel sound field. Sound field modeling and spatial 3D simulation technology will be used to achieve precise positioning and uniform coverage of sound effects through the linkage of sound and stage design devices. By adopting object-oriented sound design and scene based mixing and amplification, the live audience can not only personally experience the majestic momentum of galloping horses, but also hear the sound and scenery of spring breeze, drizzle, and gurgling water. In 2026, the Spring Festival Gala will adopt the 'CCTV Listening Media Big Model 2.0' to simulate real camera movements for scene construction and fusion rendering, allowing the studio to break through physical limitations and achieve endless changes. In creative performances and song programs, the main station fully utilizes its ability to create real-life special effects, allowing actors to shuttle through time and space scenes spanning ancient and modern times, presenting stunning interactive wonders to the audience, and creating an Eastern aesthetic feast that interweaves traditional culture and modern light and shadow. ”Jiang Wenbo stated. This year, intelligent robots will once again perform on the Spring Festival Gala stage. After a year of continuous innovation, the humanoid robot has deeply integrated cutting-edge artificial intelligence technologies such as high-precision laser real-time positioning and map construction, real-time positioning, cluster collaborative control, and real-time voice interaction. It has achieved iterative upgrades in technical performance and artistic expression. In martial arts and language programs, the clustered formation will accurately complete hierarchical formation changes and difficult action performances. Through real-time interaction between robots and actors, it will showcase the infinite possibilities of human creativity and artificial intelligence collaboration, fully demonstrating the vigorous development of robot innovation in China. The broadcasting hall has deployed a real-time interactive system driven by artificial intelligence technology, with actor performances as the core link, to achieve efficient linkage of multiple systems such as large screen images, virtual special effects, stage props, and stage lighting. In acrobatic performances, specially designed LED props will be synchronized with light, shadow, and music, accompanying the actors to transform into 'aerial brushes' and create imaginative visual images; The song and dance program will also present a beautiful visual effect of interweaving reality and virtuality, and integrating people and scenery. ”Jiang Wenbo stated. The headquarters will firmly grasp the opportunity of technology empowering cultural dissemination in the era, and create a Spring Festival Gala 'New Year's Eve Dinner' with excellent ideological, artistic, and ornamental value for Chinese people around the world, full of technological sense, accompanying everyone to welcome the vibrant and auspicious New Year of the Horse. ”Jiang Wenbo stated.
