Seamless transition between LED Horizon and Sky

Closed LED Ceiling of the same 2.6mm LED material as the wall. You can do extreme wide shots and also low shots that show the ceiling. Reflections on cars and other glossy objects are all-encompassing and seamless. This cannot be achieved in smaller or differently configured LED stages. It also enables a faster and more comprehensive lightcard-workflow.

Multiple Camera Frustums

Without degradation of render performance through SMPTE 2110.

Custom Solutions

In-house technical crew able to develop custom integrations like turntable tracking, shadow projection via projectors etc.
