Hardware Details
Vizra LED panels integrate new hardware features designed to improve road-ready durability and user-friendliness in the field. An integrated magnetic alignment system incorporates heavy-duty magnets at the top of each panel to help align and temporarily hold a panel in place until the locks are engaged. Grip handles are strategically placed for both panel sizes so a single user can align and position with one hand, then engage the locks with the other, designed to reduce arm and shoulder strain. The 500x1000 versions include an additional set of heavy-duty climbing handles so users can climb the back of the screen for easier access. These new features do not increase panel weight. Vizra maintains a lightweight design at 15.4 lbs / 7kg (500x500mm) and 26 lbs / 12kg (500x1000mm).
Curving locks are standard equipped on all models for full design flexibility. Featuring a rotating lock with predefined flat/convex/concave angles. The side and top locks are fitted to the panel chassis, designed to provide simple operation with haptic-like clicks and indicators to give users confirmation that each lock is securely engaged.
Rigging bars are dually capable of ground stacking and flying. Featuring an integrated D-ring for flying and adjustable leveling feet for ground stacking that can each retract into the rigging bar when not in use based on the rigging method as opposed to being fully removed. True1-compatible power connectors are standard across all models, both indoor and outdoor.
The Latest Optics
With numerous advancements in LED technology in recent years, Vizra has incorporated those key advancements in optical image performance without an increase in cost. Indoor models are standard equipped with high-contrast, blackface SMD LEDs delivering an 8,000:1 contrast ratio at 1,000 NITS. Outdoor models incorporate new high-output, low-profile SMD LEDs starting at 5,000 NITS with a 5,000:1 contrast ratio. Vizra offers an increased 4,880Hz refresh rate for an even smoother image movement and enhanced on-camera performance. A NovaStar A5S Plus receiving card is included featuring the latest firmware compliance to ensure optimal compatibility with NovaStar's new COEX / VMP processor line.
Vizra Plus+
For critical applications or high-spec requirements, the Vizra Plus+ variants standardize higher-level specification options with maximized performance. Vizra Plus+ incorporates broadcast-grade, MacroBlock MBI IC driver chips allowing a further increased 7,680Hz refresh rate. Outdoor models of Vizra Plus+ are standard equipped with ultra-high-output, high-efficiency Goldwire LEDs allowing output levels up to 6,500 NITS with no increase in power consumption. All Plus+ models include the flagship NovaStar A10S Pro receiving card enabling the full suite of advanced processing features including 22Bit+ Image Boost, HDR10/HLG, Ultra Low-Latency Support, and more. Vizra Plus+ models are alternatively configurable for Brompton processing.
