Color Management | ARRI Solutions

Accuracy and reliability for efficient virtual production

Matching the colors envisioned in preproduction when that content is filmed from an LED wall can be complex and time-consuming.

ARRI Color Management for Virtual Production allows the precise calibration of LED walls in ICVFX environments, significantly reducing the work needed on set and in post to recover missing color information.

Maximize shoot days and give creative teams the assurance of high-quality, authentic image production in your studio facility.

A highly efficient color workflow

Streamline calibration and improve consistency in your facility

Built on industry-leading color science

ARRI Color Management for Virtual Production has been developed through our specialists’ extensive knowledge of the graphics pipeline and how the camera sensor picks up color on set.

Available as a license model for virtual production facilities, it enables the use of our LED Calibration plug-in for Unreal Engine. Productions using ARRI cameras will be able to achieve the best image quality, when recording in front of an LED wall or any other screen.

Technical overview

ARRI’s LED Calibration software communicates with compatible ARRI cameras via CAP and generates a calibration file for your studio’s chosen LED panel and camera combination, based on how RGB values are interpreted by the camera sensor.

This is imported into an Unreal Engine plugin, where we utilize our knowledge of the ARRI camera sensor, allowing for a single calibration for global color adjustments.

Version 1.1 of the LED Calibration software features OCIO export configuration. Select from pre-set or custom CCT and Tint values to be included in a config file, which can then be uploaded into your playback system.

Get in touch

We had worked on the studio’s R&D for around 12 months before we started opening up for productions, and color was the missing puzzle piece. Implementing ARRI’s Color Management and sharing our findings with the team was exciting and rewarding for us all. We’ve been able to extend the functionality even further, and this will now support all future productions within the volume.
