PROLYCHT AND DEDOLIGHT UNITE TO PRODUCE LIGHT MAGIC Dedo Weigert Film
CREATE & PRODUCE BY DAVID FOX
Prolycht and Dedolight have announced a collaboration on cutting-edge new lighting technology that they claim will give users “previously unattainable levels of accuracy, control and performance”. The agreement will initially join Prolycht’s new Hyperlight Color Engine, which uses a computer-controlled mix of six colour LED emitters to achieve an accurate and wide colour spectrum, with Dedolight’s optics and opto-mechanical designs that have earned two Technical Achievement Awards from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Earlier this year, Prolycht
launched the Orion 300 FS, an LED spotlight with a full colour spectrum output. By using multiple LEDs in six colours – red, green, blue, amber, cyan and lime (RGBACL) – its Hyperlight Color Engine can reproduce light sources like sodium street lighting or candlelight that have traditionally been hard to emulate. This technology is claimed to offer “best-in-class colour accuracy” by eliminating the gaps in the spectrum found in other LED fi xtures.
Dr Anqing Liu, founder and CEO, Prolycht, said: “Dedo Weigert is the master of lighting. His unique understanding of fi lm and television lighting has been representing the highest level of the industry for many years. I am full of expectations for the partnership with Dedo. When Prolycht’s colours meet Dedo’s optics, magical things are about to happen.”

Dedo Weigert, Dedolight inventor and DoP, added: “We worked hard over 10 years to create mono- and bi-colour LED systems only to fi nd that even the most perfect light sources could not reproduce clean skin tones since sensors of different cameras produce diverging skin tone
interpretations. Finally we were able to match with all different cameras, skin tones of all different origins with clean reference light. But now the perfect multi-colour control of Dr Liu’s Prolycht Hyperlight Color Engine opens a new world and the ability to match even mixed light and

NEW CATTA FULL-FRAME ZOOM LENSES CREATE & PRODUCE
Dzofi lm/Shenzhen Dongzheng Optical Technology
BY DAVID FOX
Dzofi lm has introduced two new lightweight full-frame zoom lenses. The Catta 35-80mm T/2.9 and 70-135mm T/2.9 cover the most
widely used focal lengths and complement its existing Vespid full-frame prime lenses. The 35-80mm weighs just 1.53kg, while the 70-135mm is under 1.6kg, partly due to the use of polycarbonate and glass fi bre in the shell.
Each lens has a 16-blade iris, which is claimed to produce round, smooth bokeh with a natural transition of image, with a close
focus distance of 74cm or 76cm for the 35-80mm and 70-135mm respectively. The lenses have been designed to exhibit imperceptible breathing during racking focus. The zooms can be fi tted with a 77mm detachable front fi lter, but also have a plug-in rear fi lter, useful for adding ND, UV, Streak or Mist fi lters. The lenses cover an image circle of 43.5mm, for use with most full-frame sensors.

for customers. Cerberus Tech uses the internet as a backbone for content delivery of live programming with support for numerous transport protocols. By integrating with Tag’s platform, Cerberus Tech’s customers can build mosaics on-demand, enabling a high number of signals in a wide range of formats to be visualised and monitored. The need to bring back individual streams is eliminated resulting in considerable cost savings.” As visualisation is in real time and full frame rate, customers can apply probing and analysis,
identifying problems such as missing audio instantly. Chris Clarke, CEO, Cerberus
Tech, said: “This partnership with Tag allows us to provide an additional layer of confi dence and security to customers that rely on the integrity of their live signals as a measure of their success. With Tag’s visualisation and monitoring technology integrated into our Livelink IaaS platform, our customers can now view signal health in real time and quickly correct errors and issues. It’s a game-changing functionality.”
