ZOLAR™ professional LED lighting system is developed by Shenzhen ImagineVision Technology
Limited, the same successful team that created Z CAM Cinema Cameras. ZOLAR™ products are de-
veloped with profound color science knowledge, leading image processing algorithms, as well as
camera lens and sensor calibration expertise. Delivering high fidelity color reproduction and
excellent color rendition with performances very close to natural daylight.
Our in-house developed “Self Adaptive Spectral Nonlinear Dynamic Illuminance Calibration System”
eliminates the inconsistent LED performance issues. In addition, our revolutionary solution allows a
mixture of ZOLAR™ light series to be used simultaneously without any visible color deviation (color
matching mode will be added to other ZOLAR™ series).
ZOLAR™ Vega is a 5-color LED light panel series targeting professional video productions. Its wide
CCT range, excellent soft light performance and high fidelity color reproduction has set a new
benchmark for the industry. Designed with 5-color full spectrum LEDs and RGBAW algorithm to
deliver continuous light spectrum across full CCT range with exceptionally high CRI & TLCI scores,
particularly in R9, R12, R13 & R15. No compromise.
Spectral Similarity Index (SSI) is developed by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to
evaluate the fidelity of color reproduction particularly for LED light, from a single chip CMOS digital
camera point of view. It quantitatively compares the spectrum of the test light with that of a desired
reference light source, expressing the similarity as a single number on a scale up to 100. High values
indicate a high likelihood of high fidelity color reproduction by most cameras. SSI of ZOLAR™ Vega is
close to or exceeds 90, across full CCT range (2,000K~20,000K), a leading standard in the industry.
Higher score implies higher fidelity color reproduction, particularly the skin tone. This is exactly why
these scores exist.
ZOLAR™, The sun is the limit!
