WEBVTT 00:00:00.399 --> 00:00:06.040 thanks to Sennheiser and Kingston for powering hour coverage this year at neb 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 00:00:08.360 --> 00:00:13.519 know we recently switched to LED for the majority of our Boll online is Tech tips 00:00:12.120 --> 00:00:17.600 and we've also begun using Hive lighting's wasp plasma light for 00:00:15.360 --> 00:00:21.920 specific task around the office as noted in this fastest possible here so I was 00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:26.599 absolutely floored when I first heard about their newly announced plasma 1000 00:00:24.279 --> 00:00:31.439 light let's check it out so plasma lighting which to quickly 00:00:29.119 --> 00:00:36.120 recap is handled by converting Argon gas into a plasma that gives you a high 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:40.399 output low power draw lighting fixture Hive has taken their plasma technology 00:00:37.640 --> 00:00:44.879 to the next level with the plasma 1000 this light is five times brighter than 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:48.199 their previous high output unit the WASP to put this in perspective hives was 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 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.520 the equivalent to A500 watt incandescent 00:00:54.480 --> 00:01:00.800 fixture the plasma 1000 is the equivalent of a nearly 10,000 watt 00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:04.119 incandescent fixture here's an example of us shining the plasma 1000 onto a 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:08.280 sign in the ceiling of the convention center here's what the shot looked like 00:01:06.040 --> 00:01:12.320 properly exposed and then when shining the plasma 1000 on it the exposure on 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:17.040 that spot that you see becomes Overexposed by a full two stops of light 00:01:15.119 --> 00:01:21.360 giving this light some serious power even at fairly far distances now you may 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 00:01:23.759 --> 00:01:30.079 few great uses for it the first being the ability to light something properly 00:01:27.640 --> 00:01:34.799 at crazy high slow motion frame rates indoors since the typical output of most 00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:40.399 lights even below half the power of the plasma 1000 will not cut it for frame 00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:41.920 rates above 240 FPS it could also be a 00:01:40.399 --> 00:01:46.079 great light for Ste photography particularly at high shutter speeds in 00:01:43.840 --> 00:01:49.280 studio situations or Outdoors since it packs enough power and being a constant 00:01:47.840 --> 00:01:52.960 Source it will show you what your lighting looks like at all times 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:57.439 something that small speed lights just cannot do okay so bringing this all back 00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:01.439 down to a more practical view of this light it is a Great Leap Forward in 00:01:59.360 --> 00:02:05.640 plasma technology and the trend of lower power draw high output lights for 00:02:03.479 --> 00:02:08.879 production use and Beyond lights like the plasma 1000 put us on the path of 00:02:07.399 --> 00:02:13.040 accessibility to shooting situations that used to be reserved for only the 00:02:10.720 --> 00:02:17.200 highest tier of production so whether you're a seasoned Pro or someone just 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:20.200 starting out plasma is a technology to keep your eye on as it matures and 00:02:18.560 --> 00:02:24.560 continues to become more accessible to content creators everywhere thanks again 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:27.640 to Sennheiser for sending us here to NAB this year make sure to check out all 00:02:25.879 --> 00:02:30.800 their new stuff at the link in the video description also thanks to Kingston for 00:02:29.480 --> 00:02:35.480 sending us here this year check out their brand new super fast micro SD card 00:02:33.440 --> 00:02:39.319 made for Action cameras like the GoPro also linked in the video description so 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 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 00:02:46.599 --> 00:02:51.920 coverage don't forget to subscribe to Linus Tech tips
