Affordable RGB LED light solutions next on the slanted lens
Hey how you doing? First time here? I'll take a Shirley Temple on the rock. Double rocks
Next on the slanted lens. hey!
hi this is JP Morgan. today on the slanted lens we're gonna review IntellyTech's new 2x2 light cloth in an RGB version that's right RGB
all the lights in the world are going to RGB that's the goal that's where it's
going to go that's really the future of lighting is RGB why is that well because
for one you can choose whatever color you want you have strong color you want
to give a nice strong color rim on somebody if you want the place to look
kind of red in the corner you can choose those colors really quickly and easily
you don't have to add gels you don't have to have extra equipment to make
that happen just happen with life you want to have an effect like a club going
on those kinds of things are very simple to do plus if you're in a situation and
you're set for florescent say at 3800 degrees anything well it's just a little
too green I'll put just a little bit of magenta in there and that's going to
take that green away and that's going to help me to just fine-tune my color just
a little bit so you can have your color settings color settings as in tungsten
daylight all the things we're normally used to as far as color temperature but
now you can add some color correction to that color temperature to get it exactly
where you want it to be most manufacturers going as fast as they can
to get an RGB light out into the market in teletext new light cloth RGB version
is an affordable platform where you can get good RGB capabilities in a fordable
low-profile easy to use light so let's take a look at what's in the case the
single light version that's a 2 by 2 is $1,599 it comes with this plastic case
inside the case we had the following items we have the grid we then have the
diffusion cover for the softbox and then the softbox Excel now this is
our light the light itself is a 2x2 panel it's got a cable that comes out
the back which is really nice because that long cable will go back to your
control box into your ballast it's got this little skeleton on the back and
there's your 2 by 2 it folds up just like that and last of all we've got our
ballast and our control box now the control box has an Anton Bauer battery
plate on it because that's what I specified you get it v mount as well but
they send a plate that goes around your ballast and allows you to just simply
attach these two together so with this wire hanger you can hang it on the stand
those two act as one so there's our basic set up last of all is our remote
if we want to do this use this remotely so let's take a look at how to use the F
control panel first off I'm going to turn on which is probably gonna blow
away our light above so I'm gonna go to there's four buttons across to your
color temperature and then dimmer so first off I'm gonna hit the dimmer just
laying dial this thing way down and that way won't blow out our light that's
looking overhead we'll just bring it up to like two or three three percent now
we have color temperature color temperature we can dial the color
temperature anywhere from nine nine nine nine to 3000 so we have the ability to
change that color temperature it's a very cool at 9999 - extremely warm at
3000 and there you have it now if I want to get rid of the color temperature and
just go to solid lights then I'm gonna take my dimmer I'm going to take my
dimmer all wake to off now I'm going to be able to use my RGB so if I hit red
here I dial that up it's gonna go red if I wanted this to go to zero I can go to
zero and I can go to the green I can add green I take green down where I can add
blue and I can put blue up or if I want to get a yellow I just take my green
I'll say put 10 the green and then I take my red and tan red
and it's an additive system so it's like red green and blue you just add the
colors together to make other colors so this is kind of a yellowish light may
not look that yellow but it is if we go up now on the side right here and
there's something see on the remote if I click on the row one more time the
little s goes to an F on the side and what that means is the asses for slow it
goes up one click or down one click at a time so if I click on that again it goes
to F that means fast it's now going to go up ten at a time so now I can dial
things up a lot faster and down a lot faster say red and green is yellow red
with blue is magenta green and blue is cyan and all three of them together is
white light so there you go that's just kind of a basis of RGB color theory and
how to combine those to get different colors now obviously we can get white
light by simply going back to the color temperature button on this and be able
to use that as just to set the color temperature for where we're working but
if you just want P R white light out of this you just add red green and blue
together so I'm going to take these all back down to zero and zero and zero and
our presets if I turn presets and they're off when I go to one it's strong
red that's everything in the red Channel and I've got green and blue and just a
whole series of presets here there's nine different colors you can use just
give you those different presets so when I go to the channel button on my control
unit here and I set that to one as long as I pair my remote on the channel
button with the same at the same number dmx one which i've done dmx one now
these two should be synched which allows me to remove this and now my remote
becomes the control so i can go down to the presets which are called flash so on
that if i go to these numbers i can scroll through the presets to give me
the different preset colors so i turn that to off it goes off now i scroll
that's my DMX channel too want to change that now if I want to change my blue I
want to add blue blue or if I want to go that s from 2f I can go fast
blue blue okay and on and on through these so I can go through I can add
green I can add the red I can add combinations thereof or I can go up to
now my dimmer and I can change the dimmer if I want to bring my just my
color balance up using the white light set it whatever color balanced I have
chosen here so it's pretty straightforward really it was after just
knowing a couple of things it's really easy to use this so we have our color
temperature our presets our DMX channel and RGB simple as that so let me give my
thoughts about this light there are several things going on here there's a
lot of different things to talk about that really makes sense first off super
low profile I mean there's I can't emphasize that enough low profile with
the lights low draw with the regards to power as LEDs are known for small
softbox that goes on top of this which still gives you that very low profile
but with a grid so you can control the area of coverage it's simple to take
this and travel with it because you just have these few pieces you can throw into
a suitcase or they have a case that will check or a double case it'll put two of
them in that you can check as well then we have a remote to be able to control
it with a long cable so I put this light where I want control it with remote I
have the ability to have strong RGB color and the ability to add color to my
white balance if I want to make something a little less green or a
little less magenta I can make those adjustments as you learn the color
science you'll be able to add or subtract the colors that you like and
last of all it's just really exciting to have a strong color on set either for
color effects or for just a nice rim that's red or a nice color just gives
you a great sense if I set this thing up and I had a fire going across the room I
could simply add just a little bit of red in to my color balance and I could
have a nice it there and flicker it a little bit and I have a little fire
going on we also have battery power or house power which means we can put an
Anton Bauer battery on them organ to simply run them off from house
that makes them extremely portable even when I'm in a building that has power
the ability to get rid of an extension cord just simply have a stand that has
the light the control unit with a battery hanging be able to walk that
around just makes it easy to work very quickly you know if you're shooting from
room to room and doing some things we need to have speed I think it's a great
way to work in order to get this type of RGB capabilities you're looking at much
larger much more expensive lights like the sky panel or the Gemini those lights
can give you few more features than what we have here but at three times the cost
at least and almost four times the cost in some cases so these really are for
the price and extremely affordable entry point into the RGB market and they'd be
able to use that on set so if you're looking to purchase one of these lights
you can go to Intelli tech usa.com they've got an RGB section on their
website there and we'll have a store where you can purchase one or you can go
to bnh and purchase it there as well so remember if you love this stuff you're
