IN OUT PRODUCTION STUDIO × NVIDIA · CPTX26 Scope Review

Year-over-Year Budget Comparison

CPTX25 → CPTX26 · GTC Taipei + COMPUTEX 2026 main event coverage · Accompanies the formal quote
Executive Summary

The 2026 CPTX scope has grown by approximately +70% year-over-year, driven primarily by dual-venue parallel operation (Nangang + Xinyi TICC), three new production services (Same-Day Delivery, Post-Production Producer, AI-Assisted Workflow), and regulatory requirements (CAA Tower Liaison for TMC drone operation).

Daily crew headcount has scaled from ~22 (2025) to 43 (2026) to cover the expanded venue footprint and concurrent deliverables. Unit rates across most roles have been adjusted by ~8–12% to reflect inflation. The AI production stack (list price NT$ 275,000) is included at no charge as a 2026 partnership inclusion.

This document is provided alongside the formal quote to help the NVIDIA team review the year-over-year changes line by line. All 2025 reference figures are taken directly from the original quotes issued to NVIDIA last year (Quote 1972 Video + Quote 1968 Photo).

📋 Note on figures: All comparison figures below are shown pre-tax for like-for-like year-over-year comparison. Taiwan business tax (5%) is applied on the final invoice and is shown separately in each card below for reference.
