On set, improve your live action VFX work with the capability to see a complete composite live for the duration of the shoot.

the capability for actors to comprehend the virtual world they are working inside for stronger performances

and eventually leads to a range of proficiencies

and cost savings

with the added advantage of a smoother transition into post production.

darker blacks than typical signals permit.

This gives your imagery a more ‘dynamic’ look

and permits for natural true to life colours to be communicated to your audience.
