Meticulous Hardware Details
Vizra LED panels integrate new hardware features for road-ready durability and user-friendliness in the field. An integrated magnetic alignment system incorporates heavy-duty magnets at the top of each panel to help align and temporarily hold a panel in place until the locks are engaged. Grip handles are strategically placed for both panel sizes so a single user can easily align and position with one hand, then engage the locks with the other, reducing arm and shoulder strain. The 500×1000 versions include an additional set of heavy-duty climbing handles so users can climb the back of the screen for easier access. Even with these unique features in place, which typically increase panel weight, Vizra continues to maintain a lightweight design at 15.4 lbs / 7kg (500x500mm) and 26 lbs / 12kg (500x1000mm).
The Vizra series is designed to provide precise alignment ensuring full seamlessness between adjacent panels and minimize potential for edge damage during setup. Curving locks are standard-equipped on all models for full design flexibility. Featuring a rotating lock with predefined flat/convex/concave angles for field selectability without additional hardware or upgrades. The side and top locks are precisely fitted to the panel chassis, designed to provide simple operation with haptic-like clicks and indicators to give users confirmation that each lock is securely engaged.
Attention to detail continues to accessories. Rigging bars are dually capable of ground stacking and flying. Featuring an integrated D-ring for flying and adjustable leveling feet for ground stacking that can each retract into the rigging bar when not in use based on the rigging method as opposed to being fully removed. TRUE1-compatible power connectors are now standard across all models, both indoor and outdoor.
The Latest Optics
With numerous advancements in LED technology in recent years, Vizra incorporates key advancements resulting in significant improvements in optical image performance without an increase in cost. Indoor models are standard equipped with high-contrast, blackface SMD LEDs delivering a remarkable 8,000:1 contrast ratio at 1,000 NITS. Outdoor models incorporate new high-output, low-profile SMD LEDs starting at 5,000 NITS with a 5,000:1 contrast ratio. Vizra offers a minimum increased 4,880Hz refresh rate for an even smoother image movement and enhanced on-camera performance. A NovaStar A5S Plus receiving card is included featuring the latest firmware compliance to ensure optimal compatibility with NovaStar’s new COEX / VMP processor line.
Vizra Plus+ | Excelling In Performance
Vizra Plus+ offers compelling performance upgrades for critical applications and high-spec requirements. Eliminating the guesswork by standardizing high-level specification options with maximized performance to best suit a discerning user’s application without concerns of underperformance. Vizra Plus+ models incorporate broadcast-grade, MacroBlock MBI IC driver chips allowing a further increased 7,680Hz refresh rate, a growing new standard for Broadcast, E-Sports, and entry-level xR environments, guaranteeing no compromises for advanced image performance. Outdoor models of Vizra Plus+ are standard equipped with ultra high-output, high-efficiency Goldwire LEDs allowing output levels up to 6,500 NITS with no increase in power consumption. All Plus+ models include the flagship NovaStar A10S Pro receiving card enabling the full suite of advanced processing features including 22Bit+ ImageBoost, HDR10/HLG, Ultra Low-Latency Support, Shutterfit, and more. Vizra Plus+ models are alternatively configurable for Brompton processing.
Durability & Reliability
Following an already great track record for reliability in previous models, Vizra refines even further. The independent LED modules are precisely fitted to the panel frames where its unique design provides enhanced edge and corner protection natively in addition to built-in flip-out corner protectors and edge standoffs on the chassis frame. Vizra was designed to further improve heat management, featuring a 15% reduction in power draw with heatsinks integrated into the power supply housing, keeping a fan-less design but further ensuring long-term reliability and reducing strain on components.
Vizra adapts to DVS’s standard for a simplified modular component platform to contribute to reliability. Front & Rear serviceability of LED modules are standard for both indoor and outdoor models featuring heavy-duty magnets and heavy-duty weather seals to maintain an IP65 protection rating. All key components, including the power supply, HUB board, and receiving card, are integrated into a single detachable, hot-swappable housing (PCU / PDU). It maintains a singular HUB board design with no permanently fixated circuitry within the panel frame, reducing failure points, and simplifying end-user troubleshooting. The PDU is universally compatible for both panel sizes, as are the LED modules, eliminating the need for left/right-specific modules. The universally modular component design makes inventory keeping of spare parts significantly easier to maintain, further ensuring virtually zero downtime when service is needed regardless of configuration.
