LASERWORLD Laser Show Frankfurt Musikmesse 2012 in HD

0:03 Here we are at the Laser World booth in Frankfurt, Music Merci 2012

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are at the Laser World booth in Frankfurt, Music Merci 2012. And you're about to see something quite spectacular. Here we go. That area normally is for people to sit and stand on. That's pretty cool, isn't it? That is quite cool. Almost like a free bit of smoke and water takes a laser show to the next dimension. Music Merci! A whole load of beasties coming down there. Look at that. Just the whole show, Norbert. He wants to buy the whole show. The whole show. Only the projectors or the rest as well? Just the projectors. Projectors. What would you say? Three to four million pounds at least. Wow. We have over 70 projectors there, so it's a good value. Laser World. The cheapest in euros, the cheapest laser you sell, how much and the most expensive?

7:33 Yeah, the cheapest laser starts normally at about 50 euro

Yeah, the cheapest laser starts normally at about 50 euro. We have really small new units with star effects, something like that, different colors, very nice effect running in sound-to-light mode. We also have very large units with up to 60 watt RGB for example or even more than 60 watt RGB and more than 100 watts green and these units are of course in a different price range getting up to about 300,000 euro. Wow. But actually there are a lot of these units requested now at the moment because markets in Eastern, Middle East market, Asian market, they're growing very fast. And they have the money to buy these, don't they? They have. I noticed I was here last year and you had a laser that was, am I right in saying that you could use underwater?

Yes, we have. Fantastic. Do you still produce those? Yes, we have the IP67 underwater lasers. They can be used underwater, especially in entertainment industry for amusement parks or something like that. We use these kind of lasers, but we also have normal IP65 lasers, meaning that they are waterproof, normal waterproof, rainproof for outdoor use. These are the ones you see basically mainly here in the show. They're normally IP65 for normal outdoor use with, for example, Large outdoor gigs, concerts and everything like that. Fantastic. And your laser components, are they all manufactured in Switzerland or is it, you know, do you have some maybe from China, some from Switzerland? Where do the bits come from? It depends on the product actually. We have a lot of our professional units use the Swiss-made diode modules. We have especially red and blue are made in Switzerland. We have a high production.

10:20 The most important factor is the visibility and the scan quality

I think this is where a lot of people get confused. They see, excuse me, a laser say 500 milliwatts for say There are several factors that influence basically the quality of a laser. On the one hand is the power, but the power is not the most important factor. The most important factor is the visibility and the scan quality. Visibility is normally due to the diode quality. If you have a rather precise beam, the more precise the beam is, the better the visibility on the distance. You don't lose the power on the way to the target. And that's why it's better to have a more precise beam. And, of course, for doing good graphics and for having a really stable image, you need to have a really fast deflection of the beam. You know, the laser is only one single beam, and this beam is reflected by two mirrors very, very fast. So it's the motors, isn't it? The stepper motors have to be very good quality. Yeah, the stepper motors cannot have good quality because stepper motors we only use in smaller units because they're very cost-effective.

They're fine for doing some theme shows in nightclubs or in bars. That's all fine, but for professional applications for doing graphics, you cannot use stepper motors anymore because stepper motors are stepping. Stepping, yes. Certain steps and you need rather analog systems for doing graphics or text or something like that. That's what we use in the professional units. We have, it's called scanners, Galvo scanners. Thank you very much indeed. From the cheap and cheerful but still work perfectly up to the far more expensive ones. Go and follow the link and it will take you directly to the Laser World website. Thank you, practice and enjoy. Thank you sir.
