Powerful Visual Displays Present New Ways to Create Reality

Samsung’s leading visual display technology delivers powerful production capabilities that extend reality. Production houses can use ultra-large LED walls to create virtual content, and integrate them with real-time visual effects technology to reduce the time and cost of content production.

The IVC series can amplify production quality by adding lifelike levels of texture, volume, and shades to virtual content creation environments via its ultra-low reflection LED surface. The new IVC model options – IV016C and IV021C – come with a pixel pitch of P1.68 and P2.1 respectively, a refresh rate of up to 12,288Hz as well as 1,500nits max brightness to enable high picture quality for virtual content creation. An improved cabinet structure in a 4:9 ratio allows for a curvature range that can stretch up to 5,800R, creating a more realistic field of view.

The IVC series also sports an updated genlock feature that keeps the display in line with the system’s signals, to prevent dropped or doubled frames. This capability, along with the enhanced phase offset feature that adjusts the time delay between camera and screen, helps to ensure picture perfect images.

To display colour as accurately and consistently as possible, the IVC series features 3D lookup tables (LUTs) for colour correction, wide-gamut HDR colour processing and colour adjustment between individual cabinets or modules. Furthermore, the integrated Virtual Production Management (VPM) software makes it easy for teams to manage the screen and ensure high-quality pictures in a virtual production environment, while detecting and resolving any potential LED-related issues.

Built with sustainability in mind, the IVC series has 1.5 times longer[1] LED lifetime at 150,000hr, amplifying efficiency and performance for virtual production. Designed for any studio environment, it can be hung or stacked with other screens and is protected against dust and particles, making the production of immersive content possible in a variety of different settings.
