Our state-of-the-art Virtual Production set features our Crystal LED display, the VENICE 2 CineAlta camera and new Sony Virtual Production Tool Set.
Streamlined virtual production workflows
Crystal LED CAPRI, drawing on Sony’s cutting-edge expertise in content creation and virtual production technology, extends artistic possibilities and streamlines workflow. This new display serves as part of a holistic virtual production ecosystem that includes cameras, sensing solutions, and Sony’s Virtual Production Tool Set.
Compatibility with the industry-leading display controllers from Brompton and Megapixel, simplifies integration into a wide range of production environments while reducing training requirements.
High picture quality for virtual production
High refresh rate reduces scanline artifacts
When the refresh rate of an LED display is too low, it can cause flickering and distractions that are particularly noticeable with today’s high frame rate cameras used in virtual production.
Conventional LED
Scanline artifacts become very visible when shooting a standard LED display with low refresh rates.
Crystal LED CAPRI
Scanline artifacts reduced due to extremely high refresh rate of up to 7,680Hz.
High brightness and wide colour gamut
Crystal LED CAPRI is ideally suited to the demands of virtual production. An extremely high display brightness of 1,500 cd/m2 is complemented by accurate reproduction of 98% of the DCI-P3 colour gamut, contributing to the accurate reproduction of highly realistic virtual sets.
Anti-reflection surface to reduce reflections from lighting
Each display panel of CAPRI is equipped with an anti-reflection capability, preventing reflections from filming sets and lighting equipment on its surface.
Installation flexibility
Crystal LED CAPRI gives system integrators and rental specialists exceptional installation freedom. The modular LED panels are easy to install without needing special skills or complex equipment.
Quick, easy construction
Popular with the virtual production rental industry – especially for temporary LED wall installations – the self-stacking cabinet’s square 1:1 dimensions simplify rapid LED wall assembly and dismantling between projects.
Supports various installation forms
Crystal LED CAPRI gives installers exceptional flexibility in building LED walls of any scale and geometry, up to 2,000 modular display cabinets or more. Cabinets can be stacked or suspended to suit any virtual production requirement. The reinforced back frame allows cabinets to be stacked up to 14 units high for a total video wall height of 7m, while angle adjustment blocks allow quick, easy creation of highly accurate curved surfaces.
Auto gap correction
The auto gap correction tool makes it quick and easy to achieve totally seamlessness LED video walls of any size, even with curved shapes. Just take several pictures of the entire display with test pattern displayed on the screen.
* Available only for ZRD-VS25FM with Megapixel HELIOS controller.
Protection during installation
Protection mechanisms reduce the risk of damage to LED modules during installation. This contributes to reduced total cost of ownership for rental companies, especially with the frequent construction and dismantling of temporary virtual production stages.
Edge protection
Edge protection plate automatically slides in when two cabinets are combined to avoid top and bottom from hitting together.
Groove for sliding contact
The pin slides on the groove and falls into the hole to avoid sides of the cabinets from rubbing together.
Familiar User Interface
Crystal LED CAPRI fits smoothly and efficiently into today’s virtual production workflow. There’s a choice of versions that are compatible with industry-standard LED wall display controllers by Brompton and Megapixel, simplifying integration into a wide range of virtual production environments and reducing training requirements. Furthermore, consistent accurate colour reproduction during shooting reduces additional work in post-production.
Compatible LED wall display controllers
Quick, easy routine maintenance
Costly downtime is a luxury that no virtual production facility can afford. Easy-to-maintain Crystal LED CAPRI cuts pressure on technical crews with time-saving features for simple maintenance, reducing virtual production costs and effort.
Quick module swaps
Individual LED modules can be easily exchanged with access from the front and back of the cabinet.
Status light
A status indicator light on the back of each module makes it simple to identify any units that need exchanging.
Detachable power unit
Each module’s power unit can be easily detached via a simple locking knob, with no special tools needed.
Sony Virtual Production Tool Set
The Virtual Production Tool Set is a pair of software applications, the Color Calibrator and the Camera and Display Plugin, that improve the virtual production workflow for broadcast and cinema – making it easier to get predictable, high-quality results.
Color Calibrator for accurate color reproduction
VENICE 2, BURANO, FR7, and HDC-F5500/5500V/5500/3500V/3500 cameras, so you can ensure that the colors you visualize before shoot day match the colors that appear in your dailies. As of Ver.2.0, focus is on Sony‘s high-end cinema and studio cameras; other non-Sony cameras will be included in Ver.3.0.
Camera and Display Plugin for better Pre biz and on-set shooting Moiré Alert
Transfer the defined parameters to your physical camera, preserving your creative vision.
By combining technical information cameras and LED pitch information, it can automatically predict when aliasing is most likely and alert you during both Pre-Visualization and On-set shooting.
Get the most accurate simulation with the Crystal LED series, including the VERONA and CAPRI . It can even detect moiré patterns that are not visible to the naked eye.
Off-axis colour shift compensation*
Changing camera angles relative to the LED wall can cause shifts in colour seen by the camera that require additional adjustments during post-production. Off-axis colour shift compensation intelligently recognises the camera position and angle in relation to the LED wall in real time, automatically correcting colour shifts to significantly reduce additional correction work in post-production.
* Off-axis color shift compensation will be installed in the next version (Ver.3.0) as exclusive function.
Without off-axis colour shift compensation
Colour changes caused by change in angle between camera and LED wall require correction in post-production.
With off-axis colour shift compensation
Colour of the displayed image is automatically adjusted in real time to compensate for changes in camera position and angle in relation to LED wall.
