The latest model in the SkyPanel series introduces key improvements aimed at enhancing workflow efficiency and lighting performance. With 20% more light output and refined dimming capabilities, it maintains compatibility with existing setups while offering greater flexibility. Features like a digital twin and wireless connectivity are designed to support the demands of modern production environments.
The SkyPanel S60 Pro builds on the strengths of the S60-C as its successor, offering key updates that enhance both performance and workflow efficiency. With 20% more light output and improved dimming capabilities, it provides users with greater control while maintaining compatibility with the accessories and setups from its predecessor. The fixture also integrates a built-in power supply and wireless control options, such as CRMX and Bluetooth, to streamline setup and operation.
In response to modern production demands, the S60 Pro introduces a digital twin for real-time simulation, allowing for more precise control in virtual environments. The CloudIO tool adds further convenience, offering remote diagnostics and firmware updates for easier maintenance. These features, combined with a familiar user interface, position the S60 Pro as a reliable and adaptable lighting solution for professionals in all kinds of production environments.
High-Performance Lighting with Refined Dimming
The SkyPanel S60 Pro brings a 20% increase in light output over the S60-C, providing greater brightness for a wide range of applications. Its RGBW LED engine supports a color temperature range from 2800 to 10 000 K, offering versatile lighting control that ensures natural, smooth illumination. With four individually controllable LED zones, the fixture allows for more precise pixel control, making it ideal for image-based lighting setups. Its enhanced dimming capabilities also ensure flicker-free performance at low levels, maintaining consistent color and output even in demanding environments.
Seamless Workflow Integration
Designed to fit smoothly into existing setups, the S60 Pro retains full compatibility with all S60-C accessories. Its integrated power supply reduces setup time and enhances portability, making it easier to transport without added bulk. The control panel has been repositioned to the bottom of the fixture for more convenient access when mounted on a stand. Additionally, the S60 Pro is lighter than its predecessor and fits into the same cases, ensuring a seamless transition for users upgrading from the S60-C.
Advanced Control and Connectivity
The S60 Pro offers extensive control options, with built-in wireless connectivity via CRMX and Bluetooth for seamless integration into app-based systems like the ARRI LiCo app. In addition to wireless capabilities, the fixture includes a variety of wired interfaces, such as DMX/RDM, Ethernet, and USB-C, providing flexible control options for both traditional and modern studio environments. These features enable precise lighting control, making the S60 Pro adaptable to a wide range of production setups, from small, mobile crews to large studio installations.
Streamlined Digital Control and Maintenance
With the integration of advanced digital tools, the S60 Pro streamlines both production and maintenance processes. The digital twin feature allows for real-time simulation and control in virtual environments, offering greater flexibility in pre-production and on-set work. Maintenance is simplified through CloudIO, a remote diagnostics tool that facilitates firmware updates and troubleshooting, making it ideal for rental companies and studios.
