Alfalite Unveils New Ceiling-mounted LED Panel Designed for Virtual Production Setups
Chillin' With Alfalite's Cutting-Edge SKYPIX
Hey there, film junkies! Lemme give ya a heads up on the latest kit to hit the virtual production scene - Alfalite's SKYPIX RGBW & IM LED panels!
These bad boys are specifically designed for folks working in VP XR environments, from film and TV productions to live events and advertising. Alfalite teamed up with FOR-A America to bring this game-changer to the US. So, what makes SKYPIX so special?
These panels offer amazing RGB video playback paired with an integrated white lighting channel, delivering more natural, consistent, and adaptable scenes overhead. With a 3.9-millimeter pixel pitch, these babies can dish out up to 9,000 nits of RGB brightness and boast a 7,680-hertz refresh rate. That's a whole lotta sharp, high-res visuals perfect for detailed virtual backgrounds and lighting effects.
The SKYPIX series is energy-efficient too, with an average power consumption of just 35 watts (but can crank it up to 90W when needed). Perfect for those long studio sessions.
But here's what sets SKYPIX apart: the Invisible Marker (IM) system! This clever feature does away with traditional physical tracking markers and replaces them with virtual, invisible stickers compatible with existing tracking tech. No more maintenance headaches, and no more sync issues!
The panels are controlled via a nifty dedicated app, which lets you tweak color and intensity down to the pixel or zone level, so you can customize your lighting exactly as you need.
In short, SKYPIX is taking virtual production lighting integration to a whole new level. As Luis Garrido, Alfalite’s executive director, puts it: "We're surprising the market with a cutting-edge solution unlike anything previously available for film, television, advertising, and broadcast. It's a tool designed to let creators focus on storytelling without compromising technical precision."
So, there you have it! Grab your popcorn, coz SKYPIX is here, and it's about to revolutionize virtual production. Now get out there and create like never before!
