ROE Visual Unveils Sirius

Leek, the Netherlands (28 August, 2026) – ROE Visual is proud to announce a paradigm shift in LED display technology with the launch of Sirius, a frequency-tunable Multi-Mode IC driver. Sirius, the result of two years of relentless and continuous development, is one of the industry’s few custom-designed LED driver ICs, integrated exclusively into ROE Visual’s LED panels.

Powered by cutting-edge Deepsky processing, this unified, proprietary ecosystem will be showcased in a dedicated demonstration room at the ROE Visual stand during IBC 2026. It is engineered to meet the uncompromising needs of broadcasters, filmmakers, and reference monitor users who demand absolute, high-end color accuracy.

With both flat and curved variants of the Ruby RB2.2F ready for market, ROE Visual will soon see the first Sirius-powered LED panels go out into the market. The technology will also become available on LED panels with lower pixel pitches in the coming months.

Purpose-Built, Exclusive to ROE
For years, the LED industry has mainly relied on third-party, off-the-shelf driver ICs. ROE Visual is among the very few LED manufacturers to break this cycle, developing a custom, exclusive driver IC built entirely to its own rigorous, film- and broadcast-centric specifications.

Because Sirius is a proprietary ROE Visual technology, it guarantees a level of hardware-to-panel optimization that cannot be replicated. This exclusivity ensures that only ROE Visual users have access to true native bit depth without the visual dithering workarounds common in standard industry panels.

Perfect Grayscales at Low Brightness: Ending the Dithering Compromise
Historically, achieving perfect calibration and grayscale performance at low brightness has been one of the LED industry's greatest challenges, particularly when displaying HDR content. To satisfy the demands of fast studio cameras, many competitors artificially inflate refresh rates by compromising true bit depth, relying heavily on 6-bit dithering masked as 10-bit PWM (Pulse Width Modulation).

Because the Sirius IC is uniquely designed to conform to ROE Visual’s specifications, it eliminates this compromise. It provides higher native bit depth, ensuring absolute color fidelity, flawless HDR grayscale patterns, and zero banding, even at micro-luminance levels.

"For years, the industry has relied on dithering workarounds to balance camera performance with low-brightness calibration," says Tucker Downs, R&D Specialist at ROE Visual. "With the exclusive Sirius IC driver, we are finally eliminating this.

By offering true frequency tunability alongside dynamic current modulation, we're giving filmmakers and broadcasters an LED canvas that flawlessly synchronizes with their camera sensors while maintaining infinite bit-depth at the lowest possible brightness.

It’s an absolute game-changer for premium studio environments."

Unprecedented Camera Interoperability and Tunability
Designed exclusively for high-end film and broadcast studios, the ROE Visual LED panels, driven by Deepsky LED processing, with at their core the true frequency-tuneable multi-mode driver Sirius, will guarantee zero scanlines. Operating with an ultra-high 15,200Hz base refresh rate, the Deepsky system can adjust the base frequency to perfectly align with any camera's specific frame rate and shutter angle. For example, it can tune seamlessly to match a camera shooting at 60 fps with a 172.8° shutter angle.This guarantees foolproof interoperability with a wider range of camera solutions than ever before, including complex rolling shutter systems.

The IBC demonstration room will feature the ARRI ALEXA 35 Live, showcasing the camera’s exceptional ability to capture LED wall imagery in live production with uncompromised image quality. The camera offers the dynamic range required specifically for capturing LED content, enabling it to reproduce the full depth, level of detail, and visual variety of the content without any loss of quality, enabling a truly cinematic live-production experience.

A Multi-Mode Drive Architecture, Engineered for the Full Luminance Curve
To deliver flawless imagery across the entire brightness range, the proprietary SIRIUS IC blends three drive modes seamlessly:

• PWM (Pulse Width Modulation); ultra-fast pulse control for crisp, flicker-free brightness.
• PAM (Pulse Amplitude Modulation); precision current scaling for smooth mid-to-low brightness.
• Continuum: an entirely new way of driving LEDs for ultra-low brightness.

The result: deep blacks, clean fades, and detail that survives from full sun to pitch dark.

Thermal Mapping and System Efficiency
Beyond visual performance, the exclusive pairing of the Sirius IC and the ROE Visual Ruby introduces groundbreaking thermal management. Every single proprietary LED driver IC functions as a localized temperature sensor. Driving just 16 pixels per IC (with a 1/8 scan ratio), the system generates an incredibly accurate 16x8 pixel heat map. This data allows the Deepsky LED processor to make real-time corrections, guaranteeing zero color shift due to temperature fluctuations over long, demanding shooting days.
