Sony is expanding its lineup of LED walls with the debut of Crystal LED CAPRI. The new CAPRI series achieves a maximum brightness of 1,500 cd/m2 with a 2.50mm LED pitch size. Key features include high refresh rates and brightness, a wide color gamut, and anti-reflection. Additional benefits include installation flexibility, familiar structure, streamlined maintenance, and compatibility with Sony’s ecosystem of virtual production technologies. The new models, ZRD-VS25FB and ZRD-VS25FM, are compatible with the Brompton controller and the Megapixel controller, respectively.

The CAPRI models are targeted to a broad range of customers looking to cost-effectively support virtual production applications, including television, feature films, commercials, and broadcast, as well as for rental and staging purposes. The CAPRI series offers options that ensure the high picture quality synonymous with Sony at a more accessible price. CAPRI also complements Sony’s premium flagship Crystal LED VERONA. Using the same controllers and featuring the same luminance as VERONA allows the CAPRI LED wall to be used together with the VERONA LED wall, for example, the VERONA as the main wall and the CAPRI on the ceiling.

The CAPRI series is expected to be available this winter. A sample of the CAPRI will be on display June 11-13 at InfoComm 2025 in Orlando in Sony’s booth, 2001.

“With the announcement of CAPRI, Sony is furthering our commitment to the creation of Spatial Content, such as virtual production, by giving a wider range of users opportunities for flexibly showcasing images in high fidelity,” said Rich Ventura, Vice President, Professional Display Solutions, Sony Electronics Inc. “We’ve broadened our lineup to offer more cost-conscious choices, which expand the market in support of high-quality virtual production at every level and ensure the growth of Sony’s distinctive virtual production ecosystem.”

Impressive Picture Quality
Virtual productions rely on high quality imagery. The CAPRI series combines high refresh rates of up to 7,680Hz to reduce scanline artifacts and ensure smooth, fluid motion. With a high brightness of 1,500 cd/m2, complemented by coverage of over 98% of the DCI-P3 color gamut, the displays accurately reproduce lifelike images. Additionally, the new models feature anti-reflection capabilities to mitigate the impact of reflection from lighting equipment.

Easy Installation
The latest CAPRI series also takes advantage of recent installation advancements to ensure fast and efficient setup. Offering a 1:1 cabinet optimized for temporary installations, such as virtual production stages, the models can quickly and easily be assembled and dismantled using locating pins for easy alignment and a tool-free lever locking mechanism.

Furthermore, the Crystal LED’s modular nature allows for it to be set up in varying sizes and configurations, including stacked, hung, curved, or oval installation, and features a strong frame for supporting additional weight. Edge protection plates and pin slides reduce damage and wear and tear on parts.

Industry Standard Control
Through alignment with Brompton’s Tessera SX40 and Megapixel’s HELIOS, the CAPRI models maintain control using the same familiar tools and interfaces already commonly deployed in the industry, alleviating the need for additional training and maximizing uptime.

Streamlined Maintenance
To keep virtual productions focused on the creative processes, the CAPRI has thoughtful features that simplify maintenance. LED module blocks can be changed from the rear and feature status indication lights for easily identifying which blocks need service.

Efficient Workflows
Sony is well-positioned in the virtual production space, providing customers with a connected ecosystem of solutions including cinema and pan-tilt-zoom cameras, a marker-free camera tracking system, LED walls, multi-camera live switching, remote production options, previsualization tools, mobile motion capture, and a virtual production tool set, which together contribute to workflow efficiencies.

As a part of Sony’s Virtual Production Tool Set, a compilation of resources to help improve pre-production and on-set workflows, the Color Calibrator ensures the visualized colors before the shoot match the colors that appear in dailies. In addition, the Camera and Display Plugin combines technical information on the cameras and LED pitch to aid in predicting and addressing aliasing during pre-visualization and on-set. Version 3.0 of the Virtual Production Tool Set, planned for fall 2025, will provide Off-axis color shift compensation capability exclusive to select Crystal LED series, including CAPRI, VERONA, and B-series. By using camera position information, this feature will correct color shifts due to curved or angled installation, in real-time, significantly reducing color correction and editing in post-production.

الرياض، المملكة العربية السعودية ، 1 أكتوبر 2025: أعلنت اليوم شركتا غلوبانت “Globant”، الشركة الرقمية الرائدة في مجال إعادة اكتشاف إمكانات مؤسسات الأعمال عبر الحلول التقنية المُبتكرة، والمُدرجة في بورصة نيويورك تحت الرمز (GLOB)، ، و”انفوبيب”، الرائدة عالمياً في مجال الاتصالات عبر تقنيات وحلول القنوات المتعددة، عن إبرام شراكة استراتيجية تهدف إلى تزويد مؤسسات الأعمال والشركات التجارية في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا بحلول من الجيل التالي من التفاعل المؤسسي للمحادثات المدعوم بالذكاء الاصطناعي للتواصل مع العملاء. .

وتجمع هذه الشراكة بين الخبرات الرائدة لشركة “غلوبانت” في مجال التحول الرقمي المعزز بالذكاء الاصطناعي، ومنصات “انفوبيب” الحائزة على عدد من الجوائز في مجال تقنيات الاتصال المؤسسي والمحادثات عبر القنوات المتعددة. ومن شأن هذا التعاون أن يمكّن مؤسسات الأعمال والشركات من تقديم تجارب عملاء أكثر ذكاءً وتخصيصاً وأماناً على نطاق واسع، إضافة إلى تسريع الابتكار وتبسيط تجربة العملاء بما يعزز النمو والولاء.

ومن خلال الشراكة، يستفيد العملاء من الدمج بين قدرات “غلوبانت” في مجال الذكاء الاصطناعي التوليدي، والتحليلات التنبؤية من جانب، وتقنيات “انفوبيب”، عبر منصة تنسيق تجارب المحادثة الرقمية (CXOP) القائمة على تقنية وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي (Agentic AI)، ورسائلها التفاعلية متعددة القنوات، من جانب آخر.وبهذه المناسبة، قال فيسيلين فوكوفيتش، الرئيس التنفيذي للتحالفات في “انفوبيب”: إنه “تم تصميم حلولنا المشتركة لتوفير تجربة محادثة تفاعلية مُعززة بالذكاء الاصطناعي لتحسين التواصل مع العملاء. ومن خلال الجمع ما بين منصة التواصل من (انفوبيب) مع ابتكارات الذكاء الاصطناعي لشركة (غلوبانت)، فإننا نعزز قدراتنا، ونرتقي بمستوى التفاعل مع العملاء، لتزويد المستخدمين النهائيين بتجارب عملاء أكثر تخصيصاً”.

ومن المقرر أن يتم عرض هذه الحلول خلال فعاليات معرض السعودية للتجزئة “ريتيل شو”، الذي ينعقد في الرياض يومي 7 و8 أكتوبر 2025، حيث سيعرض الجانبان من خلال جناحهما المشترك في المعرض أحدث تقنيات وحلول التفاعل المؤسسي والمحادثات المعززة بالذكاء الاصطناعي، ودورها في تسريع التحول الرقمي وتقديم تفاعلات أكثر تخصيصاً وموثوقية عبر مختلف القنوات للشركات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا.

من جانبه، قال خوليو دي سالفو، نائب الرئيس الأول للحلول، ورئيس استراتيجية الحلول والشراكات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا وآسيا المحيط الهادئ لدى “غلوبانت”: إن ” مؤسسات الأعمال تبحث في الوقت الجاري عن طرق متطورة لإعادة ابتكار طريقة تفاعلها مع العملاء وبناء الثقة في كل تفاعل. كما يدخل قطاع التجارة في الوقت الحالي حقبة جديدة يعتمد فيها وكلاء الذكاء الاصطناعي في اتخاذ القرارات المستقلة والشاملة في مجالات التسويق والعمليات، وسنقوم من خلال تعاوننا مع (انفوبيب) بالاستفادة من عصر الذكاء الاصطناعي في دعم عجلة النمو وتحقيق نتائج قابلة ملموسة”.

ومن خلال هذا التعاون الاستراتيجي، تعمل “غلوبانت” و”انفوبيب” على تعزيز قدراتهما المشتركة لتلبية احتياجات السوق سريع النمو. وستستفيد مؤسسات الأعمال من حلول متقدمة تشمل الذكاء الاصطناعي في مجال المحادثات التفاعلية، والتحليلات المدمجة المتكاملة، والرسائل التفاعلية مثل “واتساب”، عبر قنوات اتصال آمنة وموثوقة تُعزز المصداقية وتقلل من مخاطر الاحتيال. كما تضمن هذه الشراكة التكامل السريع عبر واجهات برمجة التطبيقات (APIs)، والدعم المتواصل على مدار الساعة، والتغطية العالمية بما يُمكّن المؤسسات من توسيع نطاق الابتكار والتنفيذ بثقة.

وكانت “انفوبِيب” قد أطلقت في وقت سابق من العام الجاري منصتها (CXOP) الخاصة بتنسيق تجارب العملاء، ما يعكس مواصلة التزامها بالابتكار في مجال الاتصالات الموثوقة والمدعومة بالذكاء الاصطناعي. وبالتعاون مع “غلوبانت”، تواصل الشركة تقديم حلول مؤسسية متكاملة تُحدث أثراً ملموساً وتُعيد تعريف مفهوم التفاعل مع العملاء في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا وخارجها.
