Sony has announced an expansion of its range of LED walls with the Crystal LED CAPRI series.
Aiming to meet demand for cost-effective virtual production (VP) applications including TV, film and commercials, the CAPRI series achieves a maximum brightness of 1,500 cd/m2 with a 2.50mm LED pitch size. Featuring refresh rates of up to 7,680Hz complemented by coverage of over 98 per cent of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, the CAPRI range provides fluid motion and lifelike image reproduction, said the company.
Compatible with Sony’s VP ecosystem, the new models are compatible with the company’s Crystal LED VERONA series enabling flexibility of operation.Alignment with Brompton’s Tessera SX40 and Megapixel’s HELIOS allows control using commonly deployed tools and interfaces. A 1:1 cabinet optimised for temporary installations enables quick assembly and the solution’s modular nature enables it to be set up in a variety of configurations, including stacked, hung, curved or oval installation.
CAPRI supports Color Calibrator, ensuring visualised colours pre-shoot match those that appear in dailies and the Camera and Display Plugin provides technical information about the cameras and LED pitch to aid in predicting and addressing aliasing during pre-visulisation and on-set, said Sony.
Sebastian Leske, head of business development at Sony Europe, commented, “With the announcement of CAPRI, Sony is furthering our commitment to virtual production and Spatial Content creation, by giving a wider range of users opportunities for flexibly showcasing images in high fidelity. We’ve broadened our lineup to offer more cost-conscious choices, which expand the market in support of high-quality virtual production at every level and ensure the growth of Sony’s distinctive virtual production ecosystem.”
