PARAMUS, NJ - Sony Electronics Inc. (https://pro.sony) is expanding its lineup of LED walls with the debut of Capri, a new Crystal LED series that achieves a maximum brightness of 1,500 cd/m2 with a 2.50mm LED pitch size. Capri is well suited for virtual production applications and is designed to compliment Sony's premium flagship Verona Crystal LED line, using the same controllers and featuring the same luminance as Verona.
The Capri series is expected to be available this winter and will make their debut at the June InfoComm show in Orlando, FL. Pricing has yet to be announced.
“With the announcement of Capri, Sony is furthering our commitment to the creation of Spatial Content, such as virtual production, by giving a wider range of users opportunities for flexibly showcasing images in high fidelity,” said Rich Ventura, VP for professional display solutions at Sony. “We’ve broadened our lineup to offer more cost-conscious choices, which expand the market in support of high-quality virtual production at every level and ensure the growth of Sony’s distinctive virtual production ecosystem.”
Key features for the Capri line include high refresh rates and brightness, a wide color gamut and anti-reflection. Additional benefits include installation flexibility, familiar structure, streamlined maintenance. The new models - ZRD-VS25FB and ZRD-VS25FM - are compatible with the Brompton controller and the Megapixel controller, respectively.
Refresh rates of up to 7,680Hz help to reduce scanline artifacts and ensure smooth, fluid motion. A brightness of 1,500 cd/m2, complemented by coverage of over 98 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut, allow the displays accurately reproduce lifelike images. And the anti-reflection capabilities help mitigate the impact of reflection from lighting equipment.
