Optimized for demanding virtual production applications, the ZRD-VP15EM Crystal LED modular display cabinet allows creation of LED video walls of virtually any size and scale.
Drawing on Sony’s leadership in motion picture production and entertainment technology, the ZRD-VP15EM offers content creators and rental specialists a combination of exceptional image quality, installation flexibility, simple maintenance and low ownership costs to accommodate the needs of modern virtual production facilities.
Sony’s newly developed Deep Black and Anti-Reflection Surface Technology delivers very high image quality, with an impressive 1,500 cd/m2 brightness, wide color gamut and high refresh rate complemented by extremely deep black levels to allow the creation of ultra-realistic virtual sets.
The ZRD-VP15EM is compatible with the industry-standard Megapixel HELIOS processor, simplifying integration into a wide range of virtual production environments while reducing training requirements.
Achieving deep, realistic black levels is one of the most persistent challenges in virtual production workflow. Incident light from other sources falling on the LED wall can cause inadequate black levels in virtual backgrounds, requiring costly correction in post production. The ZRD-VP15EM utilizes Sony’s newly developed Deep Black and Anti-Reflection Surface Technologies to achieve unmatched black levels, allowing incredibly natural, realistic mixing of real and virtual elements.
Development of the advanced surface technology for the ZRD-VP15EM has demanded exhaustive evaluation of different candidate materials and techniques. A key challenge was achieving unprecedented black levels, extremely high brightness and a wide cinematic color gamut while minimizing reflections from the panel surface under the glare of powerful studio lighting. The successful result has been made possible by Sony’s extensive heritage and technical knowledge of display surface treatments and optical engineering, coupled with our close relationships with industry-leading material vendors.
