I was watching this Michael Jackson concert video last week and couldn’t help but think that Michael Jackson, combining amazing pop hits with high end concert production, to an audience of Eastern European kids who, until 1990, had grown up on Soviet era polka music, must have been a mind blowing experience. I mean, watch this clip and imagine the context – that you’re 20, you’re eastern European, the wall just came down and your first encounter with western culture is…
I had a similar mind blowing experience when I pulled the Zylight IS3 out and used it for the first time. I was like a 20 year old Romanian kid in the front row of a 1992 Michael Jackson concert. I had goosebumps!
From the Zylight Web Site:
Four-times brighter than other LED fixtures in its class, the IS3 combines Zylight’s unmatched color-mixing technology and high-quality construction to meet the demands of location and studio professionals who require an extremely bright and wide soft source, while offering all of the innovative features for which Zylight is renowned: Fully dimmable with no color shift, adjustable color temperature and color correction, unlimited color control, integrated ZyLink™ wireless control, and rugged construction for years of reliable service.
All functionality of the Zylight IS3 can be controlled via DMX through industry standard XLR connectors, or remotely via the built-in ZyLink™ wireless link. A USB port is included for field upgradeability and the built-in carry handle and shock absorption ensures rock-solid portability. At 18” x 11” x 2” the new IS3 can be powered by either AC or rechargeable battery.
Tricky on-location lighting situations are quickly mastered with the IS3’s adjustable 2500K-10000K color temperature and variable ±GREEN color correction. The easy to use built-in controls and sunlight-readable digital displays make set-up fast, with user-defined presets for storing your favorite settings.
The IS3’s advanced four-color mixing ensures excellent skin tones and rich, accurate color rendition. And the IS3’s wide 90° spread means the IS3 is up to the task for shooting with wide angle lenses or in 16×9 format.
Built-in ZyLink™ technology allows you to wirelessly link together multiple Zylights to create a soft LED source as large as you need. Zylights that are linked together act in concert as if they were one unified LED source, with adjustments made on one light changing all lights in the group.
