HELIOS NanoSync

Next-Generation Genlock - The HELIOS NanoSync feature gives you the most accurate sync control of your LED screen. HELIOS synchronizes the actual light output of the LED panel to the timing source, and now users can enter offsets by the nanosecond. This way of handling genlock creates enormous advantages for broadcast and camera work. Enabling this level of fine-tuned control allows the LED display to refresh in perfect timing when using rolling shutters and film or digital camera sensors.

Ultra-Low Latency

Ultra-Low Latency Mode - HELIOS controls timing accuracy in the display system, no matter the source. HELIOS Ultra-Low Latency allows for as low as one frame of delay through the entire system chain without the need for custom EDIDs or high frame rates from the source. The low latency provides an ideal solution for visual effects combined with moving tracked cameras, enabling better synchronization between the live-action and the virtual set.

Unprecedented Greyscale

Greyscale Performance - HELIOS manages greyscale at incredibly low light levels, maintaining a high-scale bit depth all through the system. The amount of detail offered with 22 bits of greyscale is unprecedented; a significant benefit in virtual production, where you want to maintain the bit depth and quality of the source on the screen and eventually on-camera. Preserving a high greyscale range at low brightness requires enormous processing precision. Megapixel VR’s PX1 receiver card is at the heart of this quality and accuracy, resulting in more image detail.
