Pro Cyc at NAB 2022 with DisruptAR, Panasonic and Mo-Sys
April 2022: Pro Cyc showcased their modular cyclorama systems and professional green screen backgrounds for photography, video and virtual production studios through a live virtual set demo and a professional music video that was created entirely on a small portable green screen stage in a home studio.
The affordable virtual production system incorporated multiple sizes of Pro Cyc chromakey cyclorama walls, LED lighting, live virtual sets powered by DisruptAR’s Unreal Engine plugin. DisruptAR combined a Panasonic PTZ AW-UE150 camera and ENG camera on a jib encoded with Mo-Sys Star Tracker.
The music video for “Hall of Egress” by the von Tagen Brothers was shot entirely on a Pro Cyc chromakey in a garage using Unreal Engine. Two Pro Cyc portable chromakey screens, a PC-160 and a PC-80 were joined together to create a 14’ x 8’ two-wall green screen cyclorama. DisruptAR created the virtual set and handled all aspects of the video shoot. Equipment used included PTZ cameras by Panasonic and compositing with a Blackmagic Ultimatte 12 Keyer. Lighting was provided by Kinoflow.

The line of “PC” portable green screens can be scaled up in increments of 80 inches in width. The PC80 is 80 inches (6 ft. 8 in.) wide, portable 160-inch cyc screen is 13 ft. 4 in. wide while the PC240 is nearly 20 ft. wide. The new portable green screen series enables users to construct a professional quality green screen with a full wall-to-floor sweep on location or in the studio within minutes.
Each green screen is adjustable in height from 6 ft. up to over 10 ft. Utilizing our revolutionary Pro Matte™ IV Virtual Green™ flooring, we have achieved a seamless wall to floor cove transition that has heretofore been virtually impossible to accomplish without building a hard cyc. Pro Matte™ IV is extremely durable, has very low reflectance and is easily cleaned with standard household cleaners like Fantastik®, 409® or regular soap and water.
Blackmagic Designs used a Pro Cyc PC80 portable green screen for their NAB2022 virtual set demo
The Pro Cyc GW60 wall mountable portable green screen features a 60in. wide by 64in. high piece of Pro Matte® IV professional grade chroma key green backdrop material with preinstalled brass grommets and includes adhesive fixtures that can be used to hang the green screen on any wall. It is designed for use primarily as a green screen chroma key background for one or two people where a complete floor sweep is not needed.
