VELVET Mini 3 IP54 (MPN VM3IP54NY, no yoke) is a panoramic bi-color LED soft panel for cine, broadcast and streaming crews operating under mixed practicals and outdoor work. Correlated colour temperature runs from 2700–6500 K in precise 100 K increments, driven by selected LED bins, an optical diffuser and CPU control for repeatable CCT and intensity. Colour rendering is camera-centric with TLCI 97 at 3200 K and TLCI 98 at 5600 K, supporting natural skin tones and consistent wardrobe reproduction across multi-camera pipelines.
Exposure continuity is straightforward: output is 0–100% dimmable with smooth fades and flicker-free behaviour, rated for an output frequency up to 2000 fps for slow-motion and rolling-shutter sensitive scenes. Photometrics reach 3200 lx at 1 m and approximately 435 lx at 3 m. A wide 100° beam angle produces broad, soft coverage for interview keys, wraparound fill, tabletop lighting, or fast wall washes in compact studios and office sets where fixtures often sit close to talent.
Local operation stays fast under pressure. Shock-resistant buttons and a clear digital display provide direct access to dimmer and CCT, and a dedicated 3200 K / 5600 K shortcut jumps instantly between tungsten and daylight references for continuity on documentary or news workflows. For grid, stage or OB control, the fixture accepts DMX-RDM via XLR-5, enabling remote addressing and parameter readback from a console or gateway.
For location reliability, the enclosure carries an IP54 dust/rain rating for work in light rain, dusty streets and fast company moves. Powering suits studios and battery rigs: 90–264 V AC through a smart adapter or 12–35 V DC via a locking XLR-3 input, with optional quick-link V-Lock or Gold Mount battery plates for cable-free placements. Operating range is specified from −20 °C to +40 °C, and the LED system is rated beyond 50,000 h (L70) and 35,000 h (L80) for long service cycles on corporate sets with low ceilings, and mobile streaming stages.
