The best panel lighting for film and studio
February 16th, 2021 - 12:02
Capture More Accurate Colours Live
With a greater deal of recorded content being created, the fos 4 fixtures fill the need for studio lighting that can achieve the rich and realistic skin tones and colours we see live. ETC have achieved this through a painstaking amount of research that has allowed them to make technological advances and apply these to a panel light that is truly astonishing.
The fos 4 panels are available in three different sizes in a tuneable white light Daylight HDR array as well as a full colour Lustr X8 array.
“With eight colors of LEDs, we render skin tones, sunsets, and moody saturated scenes better. We’ve reached further into the corners of the CIE color space to grab the deepest red — a red that is essential to accurately capture the warm glow of firelight, romance at sunset, and the most nuanced skin tones.”
Robust and Thoughtful Design
While not subjecting itself to becoming just a powerful box of tricks, ETC have designed these panels to be versatile and beautiful. With smooth lines the body of the fixture has a range of features that add functionality and enhance its sleek appearance.
The perfect panel light for permanent install within a studio or for on the road live work.
- Ergonomic handles allow for an easy install doubling as mounting points for safety cables.
- A grip rail provides the larger panels with enhanced rigidity. Doubling as additional mounting point for either itself or a range of accessories such as phones or tablets.
Intuitive UI
When it comes to the user interface of the fos 4, the same level of meticulous design has been applied to the control. The on-board controls have a strong focus on usability. With LED backlit controls that relate directly to what you see on the display there is no steep learning curve to overcome before you get started. Using the onboard controls is not the only way to quickly make the adjustments required on set. Changes may also be made using wired or wireless control (supplied by Multiverse®). But perhaps most interesting is a companion app available on both android and iOS devices that allows for information to be viewed and amended via NFC even when the fixture is not powered.


Summary
The fos 4’s advanced array and tuned output let you save time in post-production adjustments and capture that perfect live performance. Its strong focus in the years of development on both usability and output provide you with a resilient fixture that will become a staple of any studio or touring production panel light.
