TF1 illuminates the Kaiapo indigenous people in Brazil with the wireless IaniLed54

The French TF1 has used the IaniLed54 in the field for the recording of a documentary about the Kaiapo indigenous people in Brazil. The images illuminated by TF1 with IaniLed show much better than any catalog how the IaniLed54 is a very useful lighting instrument where there is no power supply available and circumstances require the use of little equipment to save space.

The French TF1 has used the IaniLed54 of Learn for the recording of a documentary about the Kaiapo indigenous people in Brazil. This people lives in the flat lands of Mato Grosso and Pará, in Brazil, south of the Amazon, in the region of the Xingu River and its tributaries, between the Curua River and the Fresco River, and between it and the Araguaia River. There are more than 7,000 people whose main activity is shifting agriculture, practiced by men, women and children. In recent decades, mining and logging threatened their way of life, so they used resistance tactics to expel loggers and miners in some areas of their territory.

En tales localizaciones el montaje debe ser rápido y discreto. Aquí TF1 utilizó dos IaniLed54, equipos distribuidos en España y Portugal por Grau Luminotecnia, con un consumo de 54W a 12V, sin cables para la alimentación externa dado que los proyectores se alimentaban simplemente con dos baterías de cámara, montadas directamente en cada aparato con un práctico adaptador Gold Mount (también está disponible el adaptador V-Lock).

IaniLeds are road-tested and offer a reliable and powerful daylight source in extreme filming conditions, making the field cameraman's job of lighting easier. The “wireless” concept is very practical and the cold casing of the device allows you to pack it up and go once the job is finished. We remind you that the low temperature of the projector body, difficult to find in the world of LED devices, is due to the original modular and laminated design of the IaniLed, which stands out above common panels. The IaniLed used by TF1 reveal the latest generation of high-power LEDs with superior light projection. The control knob offers the ability to fully regulate and adjust the color through the combination of white and amber LEDs; The IaniLed were the first projectors to adopt and adjust to the video industry the concept of white modulation to compensate for the typical CRI (CRI) of LEDs instead of using filters or RBG, which reduces the emission to critical and often unsustainable levels for professional recordings.

LEDs still raise passions and criticism; Between the truth and the urban legends of the use of solid state for professional lighting, our suggestion is to take popular sayings and improvised instrumental tests with caution. Cameramen must explore without skepticism and test for themselves the good result of the image, trusting in their own empirical and subjective evaluation. In fact, their professionalism and experience often outweigh any theoretical evaluation. Furthermore, practical operations can and really should, in some shooting situations, take priority over optical-qualitative considerations, because what is really valuable in your product above all else is the content. The evolution of LEDs in terms of phosphor dyes, high-density assemblies, lumen emission, etc., allows for a constant improvement of the lighting devices designed around them.
