0:06 Why would I stop recording for a minute?

All good? Why would I stop recording for a minute? Are you ready for this mayhem? Yeah, as will be. We're ready right now. Just tell me now, West End DJ, what bargains have they got at BPM? 12 pages of bargains, including up to 60% off lighting, 20% off a lot of things, a lot of 50%s off, 50% off these fantastic headphones. Urban is. Nice. So at £45 instead of £90, that's a bargain. Of course, a lot of people who are going to be watching this video will not be at the show or can't get at the show. Let's say they want to get some bargains, how do they get hold of West End DJ? They can go to our website, our Facebook page, facebook.com.uk Send us a message on there, tell us you want a BPM deal and we'll see what we can do for you. Nice one, I will catch you later. And don't forget...

2:32 I'm with Mr Paul at the cam stand

You would maybe take to a small, tiny little wedding. These are slightly more advanced. They're taking these to a bit of a dance night or rave night, or 21st birthday party. But having said that, you know, some people at weddings demand a good light show. I'm with Mr Paul at the cam stand. You have some new and exciting lasers. What have we got? Hi Jonathan. Pleasure to be with you. We've got three new products this year for BPM 2014. We've extended our laser range into three products. The first one is the LaserScan 1000 V2, which is basically giving the market more laser for the money. What we've done is we've taken the old Laser1000 3D, which is a 5-in-1 product, kept the price pretty much the same but upped the power with 480 milliwatts to 750 milliwatts. So it's a really nice output, it's strong, it's reliable, it's safe and it's probably one of the top selling products laser wise for us in the UK.

We've extended the range. The second product is the Hyper 3D. Yeah, I like that one. I like that one. My personal baby. It's my favourite from the range. It's basically 8-in-1 lasers. We've incorporated the traditional Star Cluster. Back in 2004 we got an award for DJ Magazine for the innovation of the Star Cluster and we felt that the industry needed something that was high powered, it was in a multiple effects laser so we've done that. So you've got Star Cluster and seven other effects But the big thing about this is we've gone up to class 4 with the laser classification. You have, that's right. Yep. 1.5. 1.5 watt classification. Brilliant. But don't be frightened of that because the actual fact there's only one effect which is class 4 and that's the tunnels and the flat beams. The other effects which are gratings, the star cluster, all still fall within class 3B regulation. I'm glad you said that because that's really important because I...

Just to confirm, a lot of people may be thinking when you buy a Class 4 you can't scan any of the crowd but what Paul's basically just said is that a lot of it you can scan the crowd, just not the tunnel. It's something that we're very concerned about. We put a lot of investment into a Class 4 manual. Even if you haven't got a cam laser I would suggest you come to our website, download the Class 4 guidance manual. It obviously lays out all the legislation in the UK And what we've done, with the product that we're selling, each individual of the eight effects, we have given you the distance which is safe to use them away from the audience. We've measured it, we tell you how to set it up and we cover you. Because the obvious thing is none of us want to do any damage to anybody's eyes. I'm not saying that that would because there are a lot of effects which are very safe to use, it's just that the beam effect is a class four so you've got to be a sensible operator. Presumably you've got them behind us, key point amount?

6:59 Setup, you'll notice while we're talking

These two here on the outside is the Hyper3D. If you look at the setup, you'll notice while we're talking about legislation, there's the star cluster effect, obviously which everyone knows. But what we've got, you see, we're more than two and a half metres away. It's not shining in my face. It's going up at an angle. So as long as you don't really scan it with a product, it's safe to use. That's all you've got to worry about. It's as simple as that. Yeah, fair enough. It's common sense, isn't it? Common sense. But read the manual, everything will be nice and easy once you've done that. Yes. The third product in the range is giving the mobile DJ something that they've wanted for years. If you're a wedding DJ, you sell your services, which is a special occasion, it's a special day for most people for the rest of their life. So obviously if you're a mobile DJ doing weddings, you might want to write on a wall, Dave and Sarah

8:49 It's the best of both worlds

On their wedding day. The SD-1, Energy SD-1 is the latest that has an SD card reader. It has got built into the SD cards, something like 400 preset animations which include Happy New Year, Happy Birthday, all of the religious festivals, things like fireworks, there's Halloween in there, there's Christmas stuff, and there's some funky dances, some break dancing, all sorts of stuff. But if you invest into some software where you can write the Ildefile It's a very well-priced product. It's 1.5 watt. And obviously, it's a traditional beam effect laser as well. So, it's the best of both worlds. You can put on a really great show for a dance venue or even if you are like Marks and Spencer's or McDonald's and you want to do some marketing on a billboard with a laser, buy this product, use the SD card and you can have a playlist or you can have individual effects that you play back. Now, one of the good things about the product which the club DJs love

It's got a two-layer DMX. What you can do is you can have, say, the SD card with your happy birthday image that you preset on a wall, and then the second layer of DMX, if you've got a DMX controller, you can then introduce some of the beam effects. No, I didn't know that. I like that. How that works in layman's terms, it sounds a bit cheap. This is important. Listen to this. If you're selling your services as maybe as a wedding DJ, And say, for instance, it's a Ruby wedding that you're doing. So you've got the name of the couple whose wedding anniversary it is. What would look great, obviously, is having that in a pink heart and the pink heart is rotating on the wall. We all know as mobile DJs, most of us have worked with Cam at one point of being club or mobile DJs in our life. And obviously everything is about reputation. We take a lot of that with our brand. So what we're trying to do is we're trying to create products that will give you

A better quality of service. So you do that at someone's Ruby wedding anniversary, you're going to be remembered and then you're going to get extra gigs, you're going to get business cards given out. So it's a win-win situation. So those three products for us, the laser market in the UK at the moment is very strong, it's very steady and I'm really happy with those three products. What I've noticed as well, Cam has always done, you've made affordable good quality items. It's kind of our philosophy that We're in recession, the world market is difficult. The investment that you have to make as a mobile DJ into developing your kit list is a lot. So what we try to do is give you high-end features that you would perhaps get on our products that would cost you probably another third. If not more really.

And we try to make the price point really affordable to the market so that you get the best value for money. It's not the cheapest product, but we're not entry-level anymore. We're mid-table, but what we're doing is trying to give you those little extra features like the facility I talked about with the heart and the text that will give you something back. And that's really important to us, it's that extra added value that we think about. Yeah well it's almost like you said, it's like an extra. You could for example, a DJ could say, excuse me, I'm going to charge £250 for my gig but for an extra £75 you can have your name in laser light with the heart. Happy birthday Wendy. Maybe while the bride and groom are dancing you can have their name on the floor, low level,

12:17 Those three products will really help the industry

You know, with the heart. So there's the option of getting that extra. It's the extras that can make the DJ a lot more money. What's been beautiful for us this show is the end users that we speak to. Obviously whatever you do as a manufacturer and my job as technical director backwards and forwards to China obviously has an impact in the market and it's really nice to get that feedback. Everyone's been saying, oh Cam, their lasers are great. This is kind of a great bridge for me to get over to the new products because what's happened is we've stabilised our reputation with the laser market. We're doing very well with it. Those three products will really help the industry. But we've now moved into some moving heads too. Have you got them here? Can we have a look? Behind you, we've got a four head system which is four moving heads, 10 watt RTVW on a bar. We've got a two head version and I've also included a single head. There are lots of products in the market from

I've been a bit cheeky, I've kind of tried to make our version a slight twist on all that. The advantage of the Cam products over the other models is that the forehead is as much a one system of four heads as it is for individuals because each head has its own LED, blue LED display The DJ Tutor offers a set of four control systems. So what that means is you've got one power supply to power the four, you can daisy chain to another set of four from the IEC outlet, but you have got individual heads so if you've got a DMX controller in a small space you can do an incredible show. And the obvious thing I'm needing to say here is the four head, the two head and the single head all work together. If you're in a hotel, like you do, you get that little corner that you're going to sit in which is 6x6. You could still have 25 moving heads in that area and have some phenomenal show. Because they're so compact. And then it's the price.

We're not out to hurt anybody, but it just works out with the component level and the technology we're using. I think the product's about £100 cheaper than the rest in the marketplace. So that alone has been a massive interest here. So for us, the moving head stage is good. One of the little things that we've done to help the mobile DJ is on the 4-bar system, we've added a 35mm pole mount so you can stick it on your speaker pole, which is great for a wedding, great for a band. You get What I will do is I'll make sure there's some form of link in the description that will take you to more information on the moving heads and also the lasers as well. So we've looked at those, what have you got new for just standalone LEDs? Washes, lights? Well, the Power Party bar is a 108 watt small compact bar which comes with its own stand, controller and it has DMX.

14:50 We've also got some 6-way and 12-way bars at the top there

That has a new version coming. I'll release it with you now, which is wireless DMX, which means that the foot controller is put anywhere on the stage with no cables and it operates the sounds of like the DMX and the automatic shows. We've also got some 6-way and 12-way bars at the top there. We're really, really moving into the standalone edit so you can daisy chain So if you're doing a wedding and you want to floodlight the marquee, you can do that. And we've also extended that to UV. We have a 16-way UV and an 18-way UV. Nice. Again with floor stands, icy in and out. So if you're in a marquee doing a function, you can make it look personal white. Yeah, completely. Alright, listen Paul, it's been a pleasure. Thank you.

16:18 Go and check out all the info in the description

As ever, please don't hesitate. Go and check out all the info in the description. Firstly I will put the hyperlink to the CAM website. Also if you want any more information on any of the products, put a comment underneath here because the companies do look and they will answer. There's no point rubbing your head thinking, scratching your head what and why. Any question, put it down there and I will do my best to make sure The question gets answered. So Paul. Yeah, thank you. Cam, thank you very much indeed. Nice of you. What have you got there? Well, I don't know actually. What have we got there? We've got some stuff for you. What? Now, first of all, I won't go over the details, I've already said it, but I had a chat with V-Moda and we agreed on three sets of M100s with the logo, the BPM show, NEC 2014. And originally, I was going to have a set

We were going to give a set away at the BPM, and then Mark here was going to have a set. But after chatting with Mark, we came to the conclusion that it would be far better to give two sets away along with the big prize at the BPM. And what I love about it is I actually looked at all of the prizes. You had a controller, you had speakers, and you have the V-Moda headphones. So it just worked. So I'm now going to hand these over to you, which are the other prize for... The lucky person who wins the prize draw. So if I just, if I give those to you, there's... Oh, thank you. That's fantastic. There's the box. Wonderful, thank you. We'll make sure our prize draw winner gets those. Yes. Now these will cost you 50 quid. Just kidding. No. I mean that's actually a bargain at 50 quid. It probably is. It is a bargain. In fact, if I walked through the whole showroom and I said 50 quid, probably a lot of people would want them. You'd sell a lot. I would sell a lot.

18:46 Do they just remotely connect to your mixer?

But these now are for Mark because he's done an excellent job. Wow. They have the logo and the BPM, just BPM. All right? So sir, these M100s are for you. Thank you. We've got to put them on, haven't we? We've got to put them on. We've got to do this. What do you think? Nice. I said... Oh, okay. I love how they're wireless. Pardon? Are they? Yeah. A wireless. That's pretty good, isn't it? Yeah, that's good. Do they just remotely connect to your mixer? They do. In fact, you have got a cable in there as well. Oh, there it is. And I do have to hunt through the box because somewhere over there is the big jack to go in them. So I've got to find that later for you. It's the big bad jack. Look at it. Boom! But listen, thank you very much. Thank you very much and thank you V-Mona. And thank you once again. Nice one. Bing. There's only two colours so you can get this white and silver or it's almost like a gunmetal.

22:23 It's the end of the BPM show and I've given one set away

Well, it's the end of the BPM show and I've given one set away. I've got to give a set away to like 50% of Mr. BPM, Eddie Short who is a very hard-working guy. Anyway, the only difference between Mark and Eddie is Mark... He's the guy who runs around everywhere and is shouting and screaming, but he seems to sit in the background, Mr. Quiet. But I'm sure he's the brains and the guy who goes, calm down, sit down, don't do it. So I'd like to give these to you, sir. Thank you. These are a V-Moder. Now, these are the top of the range. They've won two years running, as you know. And the trouble is with these, which is not the trouble, It's actually a good thing. There's only three of them in the world and you've got a set of them. Wow. Which are the proper BPM M100s, winners of the DJ Mag Tech Awards 2013-2014. Fantastic. Nice. They are yours. Thanks Jonathan. Thank you for letting me get involved and take part. It's always a pleasure. See you next year. Oh yeah. Practice and enjoy. Yes.
