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

Ladies and gentlemen, here we are at the Laser World booth in Frankfurt, Music Messe 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. Now as you've got this catching, so you've got almost like a 3D image. Bit of smoke and water. Takes the latest show to the next dimension. Music Messi. I'm still filming here, we've just filmed, I would say, possibly, if not definitely, the most spectacular show here in the Messi. Roughly the price of all of those lasers put together. Come on, come on, rack your... It's hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds. It must be. It's too much to... How much is the whole show, Norbert? He wants to buy the whole show. The whole show?

7:46 Only the projectors or the rest as well?

Only the projectors or the rest as well? No, just the projectors. Projectors. What would you say? 3 to 4 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? The cheapest laser starts normally at about 50 euro. We have really small new units with star effects, something like that. Okay. 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? Yeah, over 60 watt RGB and more than 100 watt green. Wow. And these units are of course in a different price range. Yes. 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 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.

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 there, high end production there, high quality production And for the higher powered systems we normally use OPSL technology, which comes from the US. Cambridge Technology from Coherent and Cambridge Technology scanners for having some also very high-end components in the scanning systems. I think this is where a lot of people get confused. They see a laser say 500 milliwatts for say 200 or 300 euros and then they have

11:06 Visibility is normally due to the diode quality

They see another laser 500 milliwatts for three or four thousand euros. So I'm sure, am I right in saying that it is down to the diode, the quality and the build and of course the lifespan? Yeah 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. 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 steppy. Steppy, yes. Certain steps and you need rather analogue Thanks for watching. Please check out the link in the description. It will take you to the Laser World website and like the gentleman said, there are budgets for everyone from the cheap and cheerful but still work perfectly up to the far more expensive ones and go and follow the link and it will take you directly to the Laser World website. Thank you. Practice and enjoy. Thank you sir.

The stages are the way through

Below this line is the back catalogue, newest first. Useful for browsing, but it is not a course - the videos are in the order they were filmed, not the order to learn them in. Work the stages instead: each one assumes the one before it.
