Alfalite, the only European manufacturer of LED displays, has announced SKYPIX RGBW & IM, a new series of ceiling-mounted LED panels designed specifically for virtual production (VP XR) environments.
According to the company, this new solution introduces a capability previously unseen in the industry: combining RGB video playback with an integrated white lighting channel to deliver more natural, coherent, and adaptable scenes from above.
With a 3.9 mm pixel pitch, up to 9,000 nits of RGB brightness, and a 7,680 Hz refresh rate, SKYPIX is claimed to offer precise light control, a color temperature range between 3,200–6,504ºK, and a TM-30 color rendering index (Ra) of 90. Its average power consumption of just 35W (90W max) makes it an energy-efficient option for long studio sessions.
A standout feature of SKYPIX is its Invisible Marker (IM) system, which replaces traditional physical tracking markers with a virtual, invisible sticker compatible with existing tracking technologies. This system ensures accurate, real-time synchronization and allows for the configuration of customizable IM constellations that embed metadata directly into the shoot.
Lighting control is managed through a dedicated application that enables real-time adjustment of both color and intensity—by zone or by pixel—with user-defined presets tailored to production needs.
The SKYPIX series is aimed at film, TV, advertising, live event, and broadcast productions working within VP XR environments, reinforcing Alfalite’s commitment to developing purpose-built solutions for this rapidly evolving sector.
