lighting tile is a full-spectrum solution which translates an RGB video signal into RGBWW, improving realism for virtual environments. With 7200 pixels in total – each made from five LEDs – the MIMIK 120 mirrors video content at 900fps. The panel also supports latency-free synchronisation to an LED volume and remote control via lighting desk. ARRI SKYPANEL A RRI designs bespoke LED volumes, from permanent spaces to mobile stages. A leading name in LED lighting and virtual production, ARRI’s in-house team of architects and engineers analyse all considerations – including lighting configurations – before installing a system. Many of ARRI’s virtual spaces include SkyPanels, the company’s iconic LED, which emits both soft and
a solution to a common problem: when LED panels cause lighting – and thus, skin tones – to look a little off. TrueLight gives LEDs a broader spectral output, adding a white emitter (RGBW) to the traditional three-colour system (RGB). With TrueLight, lighting professionals can adjust brightness, colour balance

ROSCO RDX LAB SYSTEM R osco’s RDX LAB System uses FuseFX software to make virtual production more accessible. Designed to save time during previs, the system provides a digital library of interactive backdrops, which can be modified in real time. Users can select time of day or ‘atmosphere’, adjust brightness and contrast, change the horizon line, add moving elements and control focus and depth-of-field, all via RDX’s mobile
application. It works with any LED wall in any virtual studio, as long as the camera is an appropriate distance away. Used on Steven Soderbergh’s Full Circle , the system ‘will be a game changer’, according to the show’s unit production manager Rob Striem. “It gave Steven the flexibility to be creative… he could just do his job.”
