Planar, a visualization technology manufacturer, has introduced the Planar CarbonLight VX Series, a line of LED displays to meet the needs of the virtual production and extended reality markets, according to a press release.
The Planar CarbonLight VX Series supports indoor fine pitch LED video wall, ceiling and flooring installations with strong on-camera visual performance settings. Planar said the series is ideal for film and movie sets, broadcast studios and entertainment venues, as well as education and corporate facilities.
Part of Planar Studios, the series bolsters Planar's LED displays, offering realistic on-screen content, according to the release. The series supports a range of studio sizes and configurations for flexibility in set-up and configuration.
"We are committed to not just advancing the state of VP art for the world's most visionary storytellers. We are also committed to making VP more accessible and more impactful to more customers in more markets," Adam Schmidt, EVP, Planar said in the release. "LED video walls are a critical element in successful VP and XR applications, and the Planar CarbonLight VX Series separates Planar from the pack. From best-in-class visual performance to unmatched deployment versatility, the Planar CarbonLight VX Series addresses creative and technical professionals' needs of today and tomorrow."
Developed with help from VP industry experts, the Planar CarbonLight VX Series has two LED display lines for integration with VP and XR stages, including the Planar CarbonLight CLI VX Series and Planar CarbonLight CLF VX Series.
"Planar allowed me the opportunity to weigh in on the new Planar CarbonLight CLI VX Series when the product was first being developed," A.J. Wedding, director and co-founder of Orbital Virtual Studios, said in the release. "Within just months of providing feedback, the company introduced a solution that's perfect for presenting the versatility and incredibly lifelike content Orbital Virtual Studios needs to bring companies' most imaginative visions to life."
The Planar CarbonLight CLI VX Series includes 90-degree corners, which are made possible by the series' beveled edges. Planar CarbonLight CLI VX Series also allows customers to remove and install cabinets within the video wall without disrupting the overall layout.
The Planar CarbonLight VX Series will begin shipping in July, available through Planar's network of resellers.
