Deepsky-powered panels can be finely tuned to the specific timings of your camera's shutter angle, delivering artefact-free imagery. This is achieved while maintaining full color fidelity, ensuring no loss of quality.
The fast scanning speed eliminates unsightly artifacts, even during quick pans and tilts.

Color accurate
Color accurate
The camera LUT is calibrated for accurate color capture, using a properly illuminated reference color checker.
The panels display a color chart that typically includes the primaries and secondaries of the selected color space.
The resulting colors from the filmed display are easily analyzed on a vectorscope.
For calibration, the camera is positioned to capture both a physical color checker and the LED display side-by-side in a single shot.

In the below video, the color accuracy of the displays is analyzed through a vectorscope for various brightness settings. The hue and saturation of the visualized colors (WRGBCMY) remain perfectly stable even below 10nits.

This video demonstrates the display's exceptional color stability. As analyzed on a vectorscope, the hue and saturation for all primary and secondary colors plus white (WRGBCMY) remain perfectly stable across the entire brightness range, even down below 10 nits.
OpenVPCal workflow integration
OpenVPCal workflow integration
OpenVPCal is an open-source, in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) workflow that calibrates an LED screen's color to match a camera's unique spectral response, correcting the inherent difference between how digital sensors and human eyes perceive displays.
However, for this calibration to succeed, the LED panels must provide a foundation of highly linear and accurate color. Without this prerequisite, the correction Look-Up Table (LUT) from OpenVPCal will create color trade-offs—improving some hues at the expense of others. This leads not only to inconsistent results but also to iterative and time-consuming recalibration on set.
The Deepsky solution is engineered to provide the flawless foundation this workflow demands. By combining our industry-leading color performance with the OpenVPCal process, we eliminate the guesswork and variability. This synergy delivers the highest possible color fidelity to any camera through a simple, fast, and universally compatible procedure, saving valuable time and resources during production.
Once the correction LUT is applied, a final validation pass is performed. The OpenVPCal interface immediately confirms that the highest level of calibration accuracy has been achieved.

Similar to other high-end solutions, the Deepsky processor synchronizes to the Genlock signal.
Conventional LED displays, however, have a "blanking time"—a brief period where the screen goes black before the next frame is shown. This creates problems for rolling shutter cameras.
While the standard solution is to offset the Genlock to hide this blanking from the camera's shutter, a critical flaw remains as this method cannot align the timing of the shutter closure with the display's dithering sequence; the camera will cut the sequence short, causing visible color errors.
The Deepsky solution eliminates capture errors with two unique capabilities. First, it intelligently tunes its timing to suppress panel blanking entirely. Second, it adjusts the driver's dithering sequence to perfectly match the camera's exposure time.

Pushing the Boundaries with Slow-Motion Capture
Pushing the Boundaries with Slow-Motion Capture
Filming LED screens with a high-speed camera often results in unwanted visual artifacts, as the screen's electronics are not fast enough for the camera.
In the recording below, the camera captures footage at 240fps with a shutter angle of 180°. The footage is then played back at 60fps (a 4x slow-motion effect).
There are no visual artifacts, a direct result of the advanced Deepsky technology.
