The interesting part is that the pixels of these long, tubular LED fixtures are programmed to simulate and interactively match the lighting conditions of the image playing on the background screen, whether it be a house burning or a famous city.Īs a consequence, this image-based lighting system allows to realistically place your talent in any setting without having to travel to the most remote locations of the planet.

Indeed, their setup only consisted of a large background screen and a series of Quasar Science Rainbow 2 and Double Rainbow LED lights hanging from the ceiling. Yet, the simplicity of Quasar Science’s virtual studio at BSC 2022 makes me think that this situation is about to change. However, this innovative technology is often a privilege of high-end Hollywood movies and it’s usually out of reach for the average production. Virtual studio productions are rapidly gaining ground and changing the way video content is produced.

Tim Kang, Imaging and Color Engineer at Quasar Science, took some time to show us what this upcoming firmware will enable users to achieve. The core of this system is a firmware update for their LED tube lights that allows the fixtures to match the lighting conditions of a rear-projected image in real time.



Indeed, the lighting product manufacturer was displaying a new image-based lighting solution that can potentially help bringing down the cost of virtual video production. Let’s take a closer look.ĭuring his recent trip to BSC Expo in London last week, my colleague Nino Leitner bumped into a peculiar, quite interesting demonstration at Quasar Science’s booth. At BSC Expo last week, Tim Kang from Quasar Science gave us a brief demonstration of a new firmware that can transform their Rainbow 2 and Double Rainbow LED tube lights into a real-time, image-based lighting system for a relatively low-budget virtual studio setup.
