Introduction
Thank you for selecting the SkyPanel LED softlight from ARRI.
The SkyPanel is a compact, ultra-bright and high-quality LED
softlight. It is much more efficient than a softlight with a conven-
tional light source.
The SkyPanel combines the advantages of the LED technolo-
gy with the characteristic of a conventional softlight. The Sky-
Panel integrates seamless into established working practice.
Lighting designers as well as Studios don’t need to change its
workflow.The optical system produces a soft, homogeneous
light field.
The different models of the SkyPanel emit white light with a
fixed color temperature or colored light with adjustable color
temperature and adjustable green / magenta saturation (see
“Specification” on page 66). The light spectrum is optimized for
excellent color rendition and fulfills perfect the demands of
modern, digital cameras. All models of the SkyPanel can be
controlled using the common DMX512-A protocol, the Art-Net
protocol or the fixture menu.
The SkyPanel is powered by AC power or a battery pack.
Please find more detailed information in section “To Power the
SkyPanel” on page 24.
Features
Light Field
The SkyPanel offers the same functionality as a conventional
softlight.
Even Light Field
The SkyPanel softlight produces a homogeneous, single-shad-
ow light field, delivering natural results.
Vibrant Colors, Full Spectrum Lighting
True-to-life color rendition is an outstanding feature of the
SkyPanel. The fully tuneable white light of the C version can be
adjusted for different skin tones, camera sensors and mixed
light environments. Full gamut color mixing enables the rendi-
tion of all color shades. The extensive gel library (from firmware
version 2.0) offers a wide range of familiar colors at the user’s
fingertips.
Cool Light Beam
The SkyPanel does not emit any infrared or UV radiation and
thus does not forward heat, making actors feel comfortable in
the light beam.
