Kino Flo Showcases MIMIK Image Based Lighting System at Cine Gear LA 2023
An interview from the 2023 Cine Gear Expo in Los Angeles with Frieder Hochheim of Kino Flo Lighting Systems. From blockbuster franchise movies in Hollywood to emerging production centers around the world such as Atlanta, Eastern Europe and China, Kino Flo lighting has played a starring role in production lighting for the motion picture, television, TV broadcast, and photography communities. Kino Flo has earned an Academy Award for technical achievement and continues to advance the art and science of soft lighting with a ground-breaking family of LED based lighting systems.
In this interview Frieder talks with us about the MIMIK 120, an image based video lighting tile that mirrors video content while applying a higher tonal and color rendering range. MIMIK delivers extended spectral bandwidth and cinematic color fidelity when lighting talent and set elements in virtual production environments.
MIMIK 120 displays a full spectrum image that doubles as a light source. Patented Kino Flo technology translates an incoming RGB video signal into five individual emitters (warm white, cool white, red, green and blue), generating synchronized foreground lighting that creates the utmost realism on virtual sets.
Embodied in a lightweight carbon fiber frame, MIMIK adapts to on-set configurations with easy mobility. Controlled by the Megapixel VR HELIOS LED processor, MIMIK expands real-time and post-production options, delivering 8,000 NITS, along with the ability to shoot as high as 960 frames per second and offer as many as 32 Alpha channels at 30 frames per second.
This revolutionary full spectrum LED image based lighting solution enables latency-free synchronization to an LED volume along with the versatility of optional control from a lighting desk.
