PRODUCT GUIDE: LED SCREENS

Absen PR Series

The PR series comes in two sizes (500 by 500mm and 500 by 1000mm), with pixel pitches ranging from 1.5 to 5.2 mm and compatibility with control systems, such as Brompton and NovaStar. Its narrow pixel pitches suit LED backdrops as images can be captured even at close range, whilst the high brightness provides optimal lighting needed for ceilings.

The PR series has been developed for excellent in-camera visual effects, allowing virtual assets to be captured in vibrant detail. The 99.9% DCI-P3 colour gamut coverage allows creators to use precise colour reproduction and the capability to display smooth video at a high frame rate, supports innovative virtual production techniques such as frame remapping, realising multi-camera shooting of the same object. Additionally, the PR 1.5 incorporates flip-chip common cathode four-in-one LEDS for high brightness and contrast ratio as well as excellent moiré reduction for improved in-camera performance. Built of carbon composite with an achievable weight as low as 22kg per sq m, the PR has an innovative mechanical design. It offers fast heat dissipation and provides a 16% reduction in power consumption compared with older products. With the customised lock system, users can quickly complete installations including hanging, stacking and other layouts. www.absen-europe.com/virtual-studio

Christie MicroTiles LED

Christie MicroTiles LED continues the legacy of innovation set by the original MicroTiles platform, combining state-of-the-art mechanical design with the development of the most advanced LED technology available. New 0.75mm and 1.0mm pixel pitches add to the existing line-up of 1.25mm and 1.5mm models, and offer increased reliability, efficiency, and enhanced durability. Reliability of the new models has been improved with advanced LED technology, which is easier to maintain and increases the life of the LEDs by dissipating heat more efficiently, and reduces power consumption resulting in Christie’s most energy efficient MicroTiles design to date. The new 1.0mm model features LED encapsulation, which provides a protective surface that improves optical performance for improved black level performance and perceived contrast, and protects the display from dust, dirt and scratches. The increased durability gives the option to design an interactive touch wall. Christie MicroTiles LED deliver superior visual performance with powerful processing including 12-bit input sources, 4K@60Hz, and HDR10 compatibility. The proprietary QuickMount system reduces installation complexity, while the proprietary cabinet-free Click-nGo LED tiles can be arranged in near unlimited configurations. MicroTiles LED are ideal for environments including control rooms, corporate lobbies and meeting rooms, and hospitality and retail applications. www.christiedigital.com

digiLED ZEUS

In a world first, the patent pending digiLED ZEUS (Zero Energy Usage System) technology enables screen owners/operators to control the electrical power to their displays and save money. Addressing the most common snags and complaints with powering giant LED screens, ZEUS, first and foremost, is an energy saving device. Historically, when an LED screen shows black (overnight/non-operational) industry practice is to send a black feed to the display. What’s often not appreciated is that ‘playing black’ consumes substantial amounts of electricity. didLED’s research (across many brands of LED screens) has shown that “playing black”, will still consume 7% to 17% of maximum power draw. Worse still, when comparing it to average, not max power, “playing black” could burn 50% of the average daytime running power. This is wasted energy and performs no useful work – a problem which ZEUS addresses by changing this figure to zero. In an era with rising electricity prices, the financial savings made by managing the screen’s down-time are substantial. In addition, with company’s seeking B-Corp certification, green credentials can be enhanced with measurable hard-data about carbon savings with ZEUS. digiLED ZEUS is available on all digiLED premium products. www.digiled.com
