FAQ
-
We utilize the AOTO RM2.3e LED display paired with the award-winning Brompton Tessera SX40 processor. The screen measures 7m × 3.5m with a resolution of 3024 × 1512 pixels. It features a 2.3mm pixel pitch and a brightness of 1600 nits.
-
We recommend using a genlock-compatible camera. While a global shutter camera offers advantages, it is not essential.
Most cinema-grade cameras, such as those from ARRI, RED, and Sony, are suitable. However, cameras with a slow rolling shutter may produce dark horizontal lines on the screen during rapid tilts.
-
Safe frame-rates are 24, 25, 30, 50, 60, 96. If you have any other frame rate in mind, please let us know.
-
Yes. The LED display has a native resolution of 3024 × 1512 pixels, with a 2:1 aspect ratio. Our playback system is compatible with most video and still image formats.
Video: We recommend using 10-bit ProRes HQ or 4444. Avoid highly compressed video files, as they may cause artifacts, and note that 8-bit color can result in visible banding. Ensure the frame rate matches the one you'll use during the shoot.
Stills: Preferred formats include .tif, .exr, or .png. Jpeg is also supported, but it is limited to 8 bit per color channel.
-
Virtual production requires the project to be set up correctly. You can bring your own project, but we have to prepare it for our system and the LED volume.
-
Arabia B-Studio covers an area of 250 square meters, measuring 18m × 13m. For further details, please visit the Angel Films website.
-
We utilize Assimilate LiveFX, enabling real-time color grading of footage displayed on the LED.
-
The LED wall features a 2.3mm pixel pitch. As a general guideline, maintaining a 2.5m distance from the screen helps minimize moiré. However, if the LED is out of focus, you can position the camera as close as desired. This ultimately depends on the camera sensor and chosen focal length.
