How do I select laser power for different broadcast studio programmes?
Direct answerSelect power based on studio size, camera exposure settings and programme style. Medium-power RGB animation lasers suit talk shows, award ceremonies and TV variety sets, while lower-power units handle logo projection and soft background effects.
Power Selection by Programme Type
| Programme type | Typical laser requirement | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Talk shows and news sets | Low to low-medium power | Subtle logo and background graphics |
| TV variety and talent shows | Medium power RGB animation | Visible effects that stay under camera limits |
| Award ceremonies and galas | Medium to medium-high power | Beam effects over a larger stage volume |
| Music and live broadcast | Medium-high power with beam control | Higher output with strict audience separation |
| Shopping and corporate studios | Low power | Static logo and product highlighting |
Three Parameters That Decide the Final Figure
- Studio volume: ceiling height and stage depth set how much beam the camera can see
- Camera exposure: shutter speed and iris determine how bright the effect may appear on screen
- Beam use: audience scanning, aerial beams and graphics each allow a different output level
Confirm values with a camera test on the real set, because broadcast exposure changes the perceived brightness considerably.
