Essential Guide: LED Walls For Virtual Production
August 20th 2024 - 09:00 AM
This Essential Guide explores the technology of LED wall displays for virtual production. It discusses fundamental requirements and the relationships between the LED wall and the other equipment required for virtual production techniques.
Having covered the principles, terminology and basic techniques in our Virtual Production For Broadcast book, this guide takes a deeper dive into one of the key technical challenges of virtual production. The LED wall lies at the heart of any virtual production studio. Understanding the required technical capabilities of the LED wall to achieve various different types of production, and the relationships between the wall, cameras, tracking and lighting systems is fundamental to designing an efficient and effective system.
This guide describes the technical requirements for resolution, brightness, contrast, and refresh rate. It discusses colorimetry and image based lighting both in terms of panel requirements and relationships with cameras and lighting systems. It offers practical insight into system specification, configuration and calibration.
This guide is essential reading for visual creatives, broadcast engineers and their managers, seeking to deploy LED wall based virtual production systems.
