Sony has unwrapped a new ‘Verona’ line of the company’s Crystal LED direct view displays designed for use in virtual production.
The tech giant’s cinematic production solutions group has been developing the line (currently four models) with input and feedback from various companies and individuals including cinematographers, though the company only disclosed that Epic Games and Sony Pictures are among them.
It has started to show the developing tech at Sony’s Digital Media Production Center in Los Angeles, with a planned public unveiling next week at the International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam.
On the genesis of the line, senior solutions sales engineer Jason Metcalfe says, “When we were first thinking about this, we saw the shortcomings on the market with currently implemented products.” Chief among those, he says, Sony is looking to improve black levels. “Especially mixing in practical lights and trying to get the atmosphere that the creatives were after, the contrast was just not there. Blacks looked gray and a lot of that had to be adjusted in post or compromises had to be made on set.”
He adds, “This new surface tech that we’ve developed not only increases the black level but reduces reflectivity as well.”
Following IBC, Sony plans to begin testing the new Verona CLED line in production, with an eye toward a Spring release. It also continues to develop its related virtual production software toolset that is currently being tested on several undisclosed productions.
Says Metcalfe, “We are building a set of tools that support the [virtual production] workflow although the same time keeping it open enough that we don’t create a closed, proprietary ecosystem.”
