do you guys notice these lights behind us yes so they don't see the lights but they see probably a little right so you see the glow behind me and the glow behind you hair those are DMX lights not the rapper [Laughter] what's neat about so I've got we've got LED lights all around us here at the studio to illuminate us and Jeff you can see them yep and they just plug in you turn them on and they're significantly smaller in size than the bulb lights oh yeah now we've got all these soft boxes that I got to sell because like what do you do with them when you've got all these nice little LEDs right but the LED panels that we use are just plug and play you plug in the power and turn it on DMX on the other hand gives us a whole new realm for lighting in that you can control all of the lights from a controller okay and when I say a controller so these lights behind us are actually running through oh my goodness what appears like a mixer yeah right so like I can oh yeah do do all kinds of changes we can I can change the color so these are the this is the RG oh that's the brightness and then I've got red green blue yeah so I can actually change that got a bit of a purple going on so this is pretty neat but again this is one of those technologies that always thought it would be ultra expensive but it was pretty cheap so yeah they are very cheap so but that blew my mind because I needed to buy two lights for the studio well this with eight lights was cheaper than those two lights right that didn't make any sense to me so then I but then I started doing research and again I start looking at how what can I do that's kind of like tinker and and have fun and I started looking at the other lights that I have and well they are not DMX compatible Oh however you can buy a little controller that takes the power and then takes DMX input and then connects to any of the standard LEDs or if you want to do like tracks with the you know the spool of light cable LED no so far me that's all possible but then so again I'm looking at okay well you know how can i what else can I do with this is it worth getting hmm there are DMX lights that you've probably seen them that have a pan and tilt feature yes so you've probably seen them at dances and everything else and with these lights you can move the light around using that controller okay then I got looking at a particular very very cheap one and realize that there are screws to remove the faceplate why for service presumably okay remember when I said look look thinking about ways that I could use a 3d printer to do cool things that would save money are you gonna make a basketball no telling think about a pan tilt zoom camera for $2000 yeah okay then think about a pan and tilt light that's controlled by this controller for only $90 okay take the faceplate off put a Raspberry Pi inside of it with the Raspberry Pi HQ camera 3d print a new faceplate to hold that in place now you've got a DMX controlled Raspberry Pi HQ camera which we we would be able to hang on the ceiling we'd be able to control for doing product reviews and overhead shots which we can't currently do right because we don't have that capability in a PTZ cameras 2,000 bucks I like that still think you should print a bad symbol for there's nothing stopping us from doing that Jeff go yeah so with with that controller you can control as many like it'll do it has 196 channels so you can control as many lights and and pan/tilt systems as you want from that controller basically virtually no limit for a small studio like ours I wonder if at a thinking from a pure like security standpoint and if you could use that housing to also hold like a wise cam so that you've got your cameras inside yeah the lights have multiple cameras yeah so there's no reason why not that way you can have your PTZ security as well going on yeah sure move it around well or you could just buy a PT zy scam but in particular you could use a real picture in particular the HQ cam for the Raspberry Pi is like a full quality camera yeah so I can install software on there to turn it into an HD camera for our show very cool that's something that has me kind of excited hmm it's just a thought it's just an idea I again I don't own a 3d printer so I can't but I can start designing the the idea crafting the idea and maybe have somebody else print the design for me if it works just an idea what do you guys think is that something that sounds fun right yeah yep and then all of our lights in here in the studio here can be controlled by the the DMX
