ReflecMedia LiteRing
Reflecmedia's
Chromatte fabric is designed to work in conjunction with a LiteRing.
The LiteRing features Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) arranged in a
circular casing that is positioned in front of the camera lens. This
provides all the light required to illuminate the Chromatte background
for chroma key production.
 The
LiteRing connects to the camera with a specially designed adapter ring,
similar to those used for matte box mounting, which is attached to the
inner thread of the lens. The LiteRing is then placed on to the adapter
and simply locked with a single screw. This enables users to quickly
release the LiteRing in between shots, or change from a green to a blue
ring based upon their chosen keying colour.
We have taken the blue or green colour away from the fabric and
completely removed the need to separately light the background. The
ability to change the background keying colour in seconds cannot be
achieved any quicker - no need to hang a different drape or repaint the
studio walls! Tungsten, HMI and Fluorescent lights can be large in
size, expensive to power and uncomfortable to work under. Typically you
require thousands of watts to light absorbent chroma key fabrics,
whereas the LiteRing output of around 10 watts provides all the light
required by Chromatte.
 By
relocating the colour and the light into one camera-mounted device, we
have significantly reduced the set-up time and overcome many of the
difficulties associated with conventional chroma key.
The LiteRing is available in both green and blue, and in three sizes to
fit different size cameras. Each size of ring has a series of adapters
to ensure maximum compatibility with camera lens sizes. Further custom
adapters and fixing mechanisms are available.
