Alfalite Launches SKYPIX, a New Ceiling-mounted LED Panel for Virtual Production Environments
Alfalite, the only European manufacturer of LED displays, announces the launch of SKYPIX® RGBW & IM, a new series of ceiling-mounted LED panels designed specifically for virtual production (VP XR) environments. 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, SKIPIX offers 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.
“With SKYPIX, we’re taking the integration of image and light within virtual production volumes one step further,” says Luis Garrido, Executive Director of Alfalite. “We listened to studios and lighting technicians to create a panel that not only displays content, but also lights the scene with unprecedented realism and communicates with the broader production system. It eliminates the maintenance and synchronization issues associated with traditional tracking markers. Once again, we’re surprising the market with a cutting-edge solution unlike anything previously available for film, television, advertising, and broadcast. It’s a tool designed to let creators focus on storytelling without compromising technical precision.”
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.
