In the film production market, green screen and post-production are mainly used. At the end of 2020, it can be seen that LED video walls have been gradually introduced into the film production market, and their advantages can greatly reduce the time and cost in production process and post-production. Like movie theaters and home theaters, film production is another new niche market which requests high dynamic range (HDR), high frame rate (HFR), and high grayscale image. Picture quality, color fineness and fluency are especially emphasized. In addition, Polk indicated that film production (virtual studio) market demand has sufficiently increased since 2020, MR and Polaris series can satisfy the customer needs on high brightness (1,000nits+), high frame rate (HFR) , and high refresh rate of 3,840Hz and high grayscales of over 14 bits. Among those models, PL2.5 Pro is further capable of 1500 nits, the HDR and 16 bits grayscales. Besides, Absen cooperated with well-known controller maker- Novastar, in order to strengthen display effect.
