Alfalite, a European manufacturer of LED displays, has debuted the Skypix RGBW & IM, a series of ceiling-mounted LED panels for the virtual production environment.
The series lights film, television, advertising and broadcast sets from above, featuring an integrated invisible tracking and metadata system, according to a press release.
A standout feature is its Invisible Marker system, which replaces traditional physical tracking markers with a virtual, invisible sticker compatible with existing tracking technologies. This system ensures accurate, real-time synchronization and allows for the configuration of customizable IM constellations that embed metadata directly into the shoot.
"With Skypix, we're taking the integration of image and light within virtual production volumes one step further," Luis Garrido, executive director of Alfalite, said in the release. "We listened to studios and lighting technicians to create a panel that not only displays content, but also lights the scene with unprecedented realism and communicates with the broader production system."
