The new CAPRI series, which includes models ZRD-VS25FB and ZRD-VS25FM, is designed to deliver high-quality imagery for television, films, commercials, broadcasts, and live events at a competitive price point.

Sony has focused on ease of installation with the CAPRI series, including a 1:1 cabinet ratio optimized for quick setup and dismantling, especially in temporary installations like virtual production stages. The LED walls are modular and can be arranged in various configurations, such as stacked or curved setups, and are designed with a robust frame to support additional weight.
The CAPRI models are compatible with industry-standard controllers from Brompton and Megapixel, allowing users to maintain control with familiar tools, thus minimizing the learning curve and maximizing operational efficiency. Maintenance has been simplified as well, with LED module blocks that can be serviced from the rear and include status indication lights for quick identification of service needs.
Sony’s ecosystem for virtual production includes a range of connected solutions that contribute to workflow efficiencies, such as cinema cameras, pan-tilt-zoom cameras, a marker-free camera tracking system, multi-camera live switching, and mobile motion capture. The upcoming Version 3.0 of the Virtual Production Tool Set, scheduled for release in fall 2025, will introduce an off-axis color shift compensation feature, enhancing the post-production process by correcting real-time color shifts caused by curved or angled LED wall installations.
The CAPRI series is expected to be available in winter, with a preview set to take place at InfoComm 2025 in Orlando from June 11-13. Rich Ventura, Vice President of Professional Display Solutions at Sony Electronics Inc., emphasized the company’s commitment to virtual production and the expansion of high-quality, cost-effective solutions through the introduction of the CAPRI series.
