00:00:00,399 --> 00:00:06,040
thanks to Sennheiser and Kingston for powering hour coverage this year at neb

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,040
2016 check them both out at the link in the video description so as many of you

3
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:13,519
know we recently switched to LED for the majority of our Boll online is Tech tips

4
00:00:12,120 --> 00:00:17,600
and we've also begun using Hive lighting's wasp plasma light for

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:21,920
specific task around the office as noted in this fastest possible here so I was

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:26,599
absolutely floored when I first heard about their newly announced plasma 1000

7
00:00:24,279 --> 00:00:31,439
light let's check it out so plasma lighting which to quickly

8
00:00:29,119 --> 00:00:36,120
recap is handled by converting Argon gas into a plasma that gives you a high

9
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:40,399
output low power draw lighting fixture Hive has taken their plasma technology

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:44,879
to the next level with the plasma 1000 this light is five times brighter than

11
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:48,199
their previous high output unit the WASP to put this in perspective hives was

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:54,480
which is the light we have used on the wow as well as recent Workshop videos is

13
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:56,520
the equivalent to A500 watt incandescent

14
00:00:54,480 --> 00:01:00,800
fixture the plasma 1000 is the equivalent of a nearly 10,000 watt

15
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:04,119
incandescent fixture here's an example of us shining the plasma 1000 onto a

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:08,280
sign in the ceiling of the convention center here's what the shot looked like

17
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:12,320
properly exposed and then when shining the plasma 1000 on it the exposure on

18
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:17,040
that spot that you see becomes Overexposed by a full two stops of light

19
00:01:15,119 --> 00:01:21,360
giving this light some serious power even at fairly far distances now you may

20
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:25,920
be wondering why anyone would even need this kind of power to begin with I see a

21
00:01:23,759 --> 00:01:30,079
few great uses for it the first being the ability to light something properly

22
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:34,799
at crazy high slow motion frame rates indoors since the typical output of most

23
00:01:32,439 --> 00:01:40,399
lights even below half the power of the plasma 1000 will not cut it for frame

24
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:41,920
rates above 240 FPS it could also be a

25
00:01:40,399 --> 00:01:46,079
great light for Ste photography particularly at high shutter speeds in

26
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,280
studio situations or Outdoors since it packs enough power and being a constant

27
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,960
Source it will show you what your lighting looks like at all times

28
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:57,439
something that small speed lights just cannot do okay so bringing this all back

29
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,439
down to a more practical view of this light it is a Great Leap Forward in

30
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:05,640
plasma technology and the trend of lower power draw high output lights for

31
00:02:03,479 --> 00:02:08,879
production use and Beyond lights like the plasma 1000 put us on the path of

32
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:13,040
accessibility to shooting situations that used to be reserved for only the

33
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:17,200
highest tier of production so whether you're a seasoned Pro or someone just

34
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:20,200
starting out plasma is a technology to keep your eye on as it matures and

35
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:24,560
continues to become more accessible to content creators everywhere thanks again

36
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:27,640
to Sennheiser for sending us here to NAB this year make sure to check out all

37
00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,800
their new stuff at the link in the video description also thanks to Kingston for

38
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:35,480
sending us here this year check out their brand new super fast micro SD card

39
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:39,319
made for Action cameras like the GoPro also linked in the video description so

40
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,920
thank you guys for watching let me know in the comments down below what you think of hive's new plasma 1000 light is

41
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:48,400
it the type of light that you want to use one day and for all of our NAB 2016
