ARRI has introduced the next generation of their industry standard soft light: the new SkyPanel S60 Pro. The new SkyPanel Pro combines the classic SkyPanel S60-C with several updates to serve the needs of lighting professionals. The SkyPanel S60 Pro is set up with 4 LED zones for better pixel control, color accuracy, a larger range of colors and lighting consistency. Improved low dimming performance is also a benefit and allows users to achieve smooth, flicker-free dimming at lower levels for better lighting control.

A digital twin has been created with an exact replica of the luminaire in Unreal Engine, developed by ARRI Solutions. This offers ease of plotting and customization with control throughout the entire production chain and improves efficiency in preproduction, on set, and in post-production by allowing crews to quickly synchronize real-world and virtual camera and lighting systems for live collaboration. Enhanced serviceability is also featured with CloudIO software. CloudIO is the industry’s first digital IoT device that seamlessly operates in the cloud, engineered by Claypaky. Ideal for lighting professionals and rental companies, CloudIO offers streamlined diagnostics, remote assistance, and comprehensive service.

An efficient and time saving built-in power supply has been added, along with wireless CRMX and Bluetooth, DMX and Ethernet in and out while keeping the same size and weight of the classic S60-C. All ARRI SkyPanels are part of an ecosystem and the new SkyPanel S60 Pro can be seamlessly integrated into existing workflows and wireless setups with built-in CRMX and Bluetooth for app-based control, such as the ARRI LiCo app, or use 5-Pin DMX in and out for robust traditional control, and Ethernet in and out for newer studio installs. When mixing different SkyPanels color consistency is assured and the new S60 Pro is fully compatible with S60-C front and yoke accessories. SkyPanel Pro users will benefit from the latest LiOS software features such as the ARRI ALEXA Modes.
