Blizzard Lighting has extended its IRiS video panel line with the addition of two new models, the IP3 and R2.
The 3.9mm IRiS IP3 is built to perform anywhere and in any weather conditions and has, as the firm describes, “impressively high” 4,500 nit brightness that can render “perfect video images” even in direct sunlight.
The panels weigh in at under 21lbs thanks to their strong and lightweight CNC + cast aluminum frame, and module maintenance is tool-free and easy with their 4x magnetic-mount front/rear modules per panel. They can be controlled with the Novastar TB6 or VX4S LED display controllers. Panels are priced at $1,699.99.
The flagship IRiS R2 model is designed for indoor usage only and features 2.9mm pixel pitch. Features reflect those of the IP3, although panels are marginally lighters, weighing in at under 20lbs. Panels are again priced at $1,699.99.
Both the IP3 and R2 have ETL certification (proof of product compliance to North American safety standards) and are designed for quick and easy one man (or woman) set up. These models also feature fast and accurate side locks that allow curved connections from 10° concave to 5° convex and unparalleled video processing from NovaStar Armor series receiving hardware.
“Mom always told me TV would rot my brains,” says CEO Will Komassa. “Well Mom, you were right. It has enslaved me to such a degree that I now make a living selling massive, infinitely expandable TVs. But what can I say? The IRiS panels’ continued development and refinement mean that production designers have even more flexibility and creativity at their disposal than ever before, and that’s not all bad, is it?”
