- Broadcast LED Backdrops
The TetraVP team have provided virtual production products, systems, and on-set services for a wide variety of broadcast, TV, and film virtual production projects worldwide. We have been a part of every development in virtual production; from its origins in broadcast using green screen and encoded robotics, through 3D camera tracking and on-set ‘previz’ for cinematic VFX, to real-time 3D engines and LED screens.
Understanding that virtual production is simply real-time VFX, and that photorealism and blending of the real and virtual worlds are the key aims, enables us to design LED VP systems that offer superior imaging with superior real-time performance.
- LED Immersive Spaces
- Projection Mapped Immersive Spaces
- Synchronised 3D Immersive Audio
With a background in digital VFX systems, augmented reality (AR), and 3D/ambisonic sound systems, the team are able to design and integrate technically advanced immersive spaces, complete with synchronised 3D immersive sound, and interactive storyline control.
Where these spaces require tracking systems that can detect the position, gestures, or full body movement of the viewer(s), we have the experience to advise on the right approach. Our team’s 25+ years technical and operational experience of camera tracking systems and object tracking systems, enables us to select the optimal tracking solution for each use case.
Whether the project uses projection mapping or LED tiles, delivers live interactive or playback-only content, we have the expertise to design and deliver the immersive solution required.
- Large Format LED Video Walls
- Interactive LED Video Walls
Our decade-long experience dealing with complex LED imaging challenges, media players, and high performance video networking, means that for us designing and delivering LED display and digital signage solutions is relatively straightforward.
TetraVP solutions focus on optimising the LED price/performance balance, delivering the best imaging possible for brands, and maximising display lifespan for the best ROI.
- Green Energy Options for Video Walls
We offer unique options for our external display solutions, which save electricity, extend LED life, and ensure correct colour rendition of brands and logos:
Ambient light optimiser – a system that adjusts the light output of the LED display, depending on the ambient light available:
- Saves on electricity costs by adjusting the brightness of the video wall to be only as bright as required to stand out against the ambient lighting i.e. daylight operation requires more LED brightness than nightime operation
- Maintains optimal colour accuracy for brands and logos irrespective of the colour temperature of the ambient light
Zero power use when off – when large format LED displays are not in use they are not switched off due to the difficulty of surge current when turning them back on. Instead these LED displays are fed with black content, and remain on drawing power and wasting electricity. To solve this, our LED display solutions can be equipped with an option that fully turns off all LED tiles, but allows them to be switched back on again individually in a sequence, avoiding surge current issues. This saves significant electricity costs and helps extend the lifespan of the LED display.
TetraVP’s LED installers have extensive experience of installing stadia LED, digital signage, virtual production screens, and corporate LED solutions, with most of these solutions requiring custom metal work mounting.
Before you purchase your LED tiles...
Choosing an LED tile for your project isn’t straightforward and there are a host of issues to consider, including:
- LED tiles for in-camera use require a different specification than for direct view use
- LED coating benefits vs drawbacks
- Ordering sufficient ‘same batch’ LED spares for the required video wall lifespan
- Evaluating the quality assurance and ageing process used by manufacturers
- Understanding who is responsible and what is required for LED tile repair/support
- Acknowledging LED RGB emitter decay and how to compensate for it
- Colour calibration and re-calibration for continuous brand/logo colour integrity
- Understanding lifetime power consumption and green energy strategies
Fortunately TetraVP has the expertise to help guide you through the LED buying process, either as a consultancy service, or as part of a systems integrated solution.
