Overview
The Light Widow CineTag Display is an app-enabled solution for displaying filter and camera tags, designed to attach seamlessly to a matte box or camera using hook-and-loop strips. Its e-paper screen is updated via the Light Widow app, offering endless options for tags that can be selected from preset lists or fully customized. This Blue model also allows filter names to be saved directly to the CineTag’s memory, enabling quick tag switching with onboard buttons—no app required during shoots.
CineTag displays can also be wirelessly paired together so that when one CineTag is updated, any other CineTags in a specified group mirror that unit. This means that the DP, DIT, or any other crew member can each have their own CineTag that is always up to date based on the AC’s master tag. The CineTags can also be paired with the Light Widow FRS-Light and FRS module for ARRI LMB. Wireless range between CineTags varies, but with line-of-sight it’s often up to or even over 100 feet, or 30-50 feet with no line-of-sight.
CineTags log every filter change to internal memory, tame-stamping filter changes using current time and date, and, in the future (after some firmware updates), timecode.
The displays connect to the phone app using Bluetooth LE, and have a battery life of up to three weeks. The CineTags are also quite light weight, weighing only a few ounces.
