ARRI Introduces the New SkyPanel S60 Pro ARRI announces the new ARRI SkyPanel S60 Pro. As latest addition to the SkyPanel family, the SkyPanel Pro combines the benefits of the classic SkyPanel S60-C with updates that service the needs of today's professionals while delivering cost-performance and versatility. To satisfy the demands of increasing efficacy within production workflows, SkyPanel S60 Pro offers new and enhanced technical features. The digital twin, an exact replica of the luminaire in Unreal Engine, developed by ARRI Solutions, offers unparalleled customization and control throughout the entire production chain, the company says. This digital twin reduces workloads 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. To enable more flexibility and creativity on set, the SkyPanel S60 Pro is set up with 4 LED zones for better pixel control, unmatched color accuracy, and optimal light distribution. With its RGBW LED light engine, offering a range of colors and superior lighting consistency, the soft light can easily adapt to any style while ensuring that every scene is illuminated with additional output and true, vibrant color. Improved low dimming performance is also a benefit and allows users to achieve smooth, flicker-free dimming at lower levels for ultimate lighting control. ARRI responded to customer feedback and made improvements to the fixture's handles, position of the control panel, but more importantly, to its connectivity and control options. The fixture features an integrated power supply that helps to streamline setups, making the luminaire easier to transport and manage with fewer cables and less rigging materials, while it keeps 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. Based on the tried-and-true LiOS software, SkyPanel Pro users will benefit from the latest software features such as the ARRI ALEXA Modes. As part of the SkyPanel family, the new SkyPanel S60 Pro lives up to the quality and reliability standards for which ARRI is known. The fixtures will feel familiar to users, even with their user-based improvements, so straight-forward workflows are guaranteed. S60 Pros are a future-proof, secure investment, backed by a comprehensive three-year warranty. Thanks to their rugged build and flexibility, these luminaires are suitable for a wide range of applications, from studio and location work on movies and television to live entertainment, photography, theater, and corporate productions. New fixtures will be available in blue and silver or sleek all-black colorways, with manual or P.O. yoke, and can be pre-ordered. The existing SkyPanel S60-C will be discontinued upon the release of SkyPanel S60 Pro. To learn more about SkyPanel S60 Pro, please visit: www.arri.com/skypanelpro.
