Wow – it’s bright!

The LC is an extremely bright video source. With an output of 1800 NITs (Cd/m
2 ), the LC is clearly visible in daylight, making it suitable for large-scale and outdoor productions.

Excellent image quality Flicker–free video wall

With a 40 mm pixel pitch, the LC offers excellent resolution without compromising on its light weight and transparency. A video wall’s resolution is deter- mined by its pixel pitch. High resolution modern screens have a fine pixel pitch, typically around 6 mm. Low resolution screens can go up to 100 mm. The LC has an ideal balance at 40 mm, which means it remains lightweight, trans- parent and relatively inexpensive but is still tight enough to offer excellent image quality. The LC can be genlocked using a DVI box available as an accessory, making it suitable for a wide range of TV and video applications.
“Even during the middle of the day the screens were really bright. I had to back it off by the end of the day because my retinas were hurting.” Matt Arthur, Main Operator at One Big Weekend, UK.Lighting Design by Paul Normandale.

Extremely viewable

The LC portrays seamless images at thirty meters and beyond. Although still a useful effect at shorter distances, a simple rule of thumb is that in order to see an unpixelated image on an LED video screen, you need to be at a viewing distance of 750 times the pixel pitch. LC panels present a seamless image at about 30 m (750 x 40 mm = 30 m) or 100 ft.

Wide viewing angle

Another important feature of the LC has to do with the pixel design. While most LED screens use trian- gular configurations, the LC comes with ellipitical pixels. This offers a very wide, 100° viewing angle, a feature that is especially valuable for applications where you can cover not only the front but also the sides where viewers tend to miss out.
“The panels are very lightweight and an absolute joy to rig.” Lighting Designer Francesco Calvi at the Sydney Royal Easter Show, Australia.
