LiteMat Product Family - Spectrum

A Camera Compliant LED Light Fixture

It is the preferred choice for quick setups with its ease of use and vast mounting options. LiteMat Spectrum is built upon these features and adds full-color capabilities, wide-range Kelvin temperature adjustment, +/- Green correction, full spectrum desaturation of color, Rec. 709 color space compliance, and large format pixel control. Technicians are going to love it.

LiteMat Spectrum changes everything, from pre-production planning to post-production workflow, allowing a filmmaker’s true vision to become a reality…all while maintaining the great features of the over 20,000 LiteMats in use globally.

Full Color Capabilities

LiteMat Spectrum can augment its white-light output with color accents.

Saturated color can be delicately added with 100 shades of depth. LiteMat Spectrum offers 360 pure accent colors that can be added with 100 shades of saturation.

Kelvin Temperature Adjustment

LiteMat Spectrum is built upon the solid foundation of the Cinema Series color space found in thousands of existing LiteMat fixtures.

We added red, green, blue, and amber to augment the Cinema chips and extend the system’s CCT abilities from 2000K to 11000K. The key here is the amber chip. It is simply not possible to achieve the best white-balanced color without it.

Plus / Minus Green

LiteMat Spectrum offers adjustable color correction of green or magenta hue.

Being opposing colors, green is applied to a light when an unwanted magenta cast is present. The opposite is also true, applying magenta when a light produces an undesirable green cast.

Full Spectrum Desaturation

Building from the most accurate white point possible, we then developed a method that uses that white point as the method of desaturating color.

What is the best method of desaturating a beautiful red, green, or blue chip? The very best full spectrum, color correct, and white-balanced white light color of your choosing.

FULL SPECTRUM COLOR

White Balance

It all started with white balance. Digital cameras such as the Arri Alexa can often be “white balanced” to any CCT between 2000K and 11000K. It’s even possible to set the camera to compensate for +/- green cast.

Chromaticity

In addition to camera-coordinated white light, LiteMat Spectrum can produce saturated color accents. Intended to complement your baseline white, these colors are subtly blended with the balanced white light. This vastly improves the chromaticity of semi-saturated colors with full spectrum, high CRI desaturation (patent pending).

Color Space

This broad color space is the basis of LiteMat Spectrum. Let the light fixture be able to produce the exact shade of white the camera sees as neutral. So we did: LiteMat Spectrum can produce white light between 2000K and 11000K. And, it too can be set to compensate for +/- green casts such as from automobile windows or available light..

Compliance

Meet LiteMat Spectrum, the first REC-709 colorspace compliant light fixture available, only from LiteGear.

SPECTRUM PIXEL DRIVER

A key feature of the new Spectrum Platform is pixel control. A LiteMat Spectrum 4 is empowered with 4 large format pixels allowing for just-right control of intensity, CCT, color, or +/- green correction. Large format pixel control adds a physical dimension of adjustment allowing you to position a lighting effect without actually moving the fixture. It’s like having 4 individually adjustable lights in one unit.

Large Format Pixel Control

The concept of large format pixel control was born out of the need for an ever growing desire for more granular control of set lighting fixtures on set. LiteMat Spectrum features pixels that are 240mm x 480mm in size allowing you to create compelling lighting effects while remaining simple to operate with just 5 DMX addresses per Spectrum Pixel.

WHY LITEMAT SPECTRUM?

PRE-PRODUCTION

During prep time, deciding what gear to use can be a challenge. Because LiteMat Spectrum can adapt to suit nearly any location or stage rig, it’s a safe choice that can cover those what-if moments. It can also help smooth pre-rigging stages with its vast mounting options and flexible color abilities.

PRODUCTION

During principal photography, speed is a major consideration. LiteMat Spectrum is lightweight and easily adaptable for practical locations and offers low-impact riggability. It’s also ideal for up-close setups right next to camera. Its wide color gamut easily allows you to augment nearby light or create the perfect white light relative to the cameras white-balance settings.

POST-PRODUCTION

Once shooting is finished, this is where LiteMat Spectrum can really be a life saver. Because of its patented color processing engine and “color space compliant” output, colorists have the freedom to color-correct the image with fewer limits or anomalies. Full spectrum color desaturation and Rec. 709 color space compliance saves valuable time and money during the color grading process by allowing for improved post-production workflows.
