Chauvet Freedom Par and Freedom strip Mini Demonstration at MBLV16

0:00 We've got a gentleman here from Chauvet

Alright, here we go guys. We've got a gentleman here from Chauvet. Your name sir I believe is Alan Rees and you're to do with product development, is that right? That's right. Okay, we've got two products here. First of all can you tell us what they are please? We have the Freedom Par and the Freedom Strip Mini. And they also work in conjunction with an existing item, which is the DeFi 2.4 GHz. Okay, straight away, wireless DMX. Wireless DMX, right here. Beautiful. Can you give me a bit of the spec, what we're looking at, the power of the LEDs, etc.? Sure. Both products contain 5mm or 1.25W LEDs, and what makes these products so unique... is the ability to put the light anywhere you want. It's the freedom from cables and that's where the name came from. Freedom from cables, freedom from headaches. You can literally take this light and put it anywhere in your entire rig or anywhere in the entire room and control them wirelessly with DMX and also power because there's built-in lithium ion batteries inside. Power-wise, how long will they last for? You know, you charge it up. What sort of time scale are we looking at? You're looking at about 8 hour run time.

For each one of these barcans on a full charge. So they'll definitely have enough juice inside to last you for two events. And do we have the normal Master Slave, Sound to Light, etc.? Absolutely. Not only do you have all of that but you have something extremely unique that's never before been done in a product and it's done here for the first time in the industry on these Freedom Strip Minis and the Freedom Pars and that's Wireless Master Slave. That's neat. What you'll do is you'll set the first unit to master, and then typically you'll have to set your slaves up, and then you'll have to run a DMX cable to each one of them. But with these, you don't have to do that because each one has a built-in wireless antenna, and it will transmit the wireless signal to them wirelessly. So you set up your master, you set up your slaves, and the master does all the work to the slaves wireless. How many slaves? Up to 31. Wow. Can you just flip them over and let's have a look? Absolutely.

2:01 To you how much battery life

Flip up the antenna here. Okay. So on the back side you have a battery life indicator which is very useful, which will explain to you how much battery life is left and also will explain how much battery life is, you know, it's the opposite when you're charging it. Sure, gotcha. Antenna for your wireless DMX, power switch on and off so you can set the light, turn it right back on before your gig. Yeah. A digital display which sets all of your settings, your master slave modes, DMX, that sort of thing. Nice. And then when you're using the DeFi 2.4 transmitter here, you have the auto function and this, you press this button and you push this button and it will automatically find the frequency and it will select it automatically for you and then lock it in. Fantastic. It does all the hard work for you. So again, I mean, I'm thinking, you know, off the top of my head, for someone who likes uplighting, we've gone past the stage of, you know...

3:12 Practice enjoy, fantastic

Damn, I can't put that up like there because I haven't got a power supply or power plug. You can literally just take that and you can put it anywhere. Anywhere you want. Wow. No cables. Fantastic. Walk around with it on your head if you want to. Yeah, and it is very bright actually. Excellent. And if anybody out there has the ColorStrip or the ColorStrip Mini, these will also work MasterSlave with those products as well. It's our number one and two selling products from Chevet, and this works with it in MasterSlave mode. Okay, so yeah, that's wireless, so then you would have to then have a cable from that to the others? Correct. Yes. But if you have multiple Freedom Strip Minis, then there's no cables whatsoever. Fantastic. Can we just have a look at the other unit? Absolutely. This one here, you can change the angle, so if you could just give a demo of that please. Sure, man.

So here's the Freedom PAR. It's all the same software, same LEDs, but what makes this guy unique is the ability to adjust the head to angle it up or down the wall to get the best look. And then for transportation we have a little lock here so if you push it down and that will prevent the head from moving. Good. Can you just flip it over? Sure. And have a look underneath. Oh sorry, the underside. The underside. There you go, yeah, yeah. Check it out. Okay. Fantastic. And again, up to 31 of these? Same. Exactly the same software. Okay, and then presumably we can have, say, 5 of these, 10 of these, link them all together. Absolutely. Fantastic. Okay, thank you very much. Can you finish off with practice and enjoy? Practice and enjoy. Nice one. That'll do. Thank you.
