GLP’s Streamer enhances videoconferencing
- Details
UL-listed, the spec includes flicker-free high intensity output, with a colour temperature range of 1900-5600K, provided by three different colour sets of LED’s.
A ‘prosumer’ product developed by GLP’s North American operation, it is tailored to both the professional and general consumer markets.
GLP Inc president, Mark Ravenhill, commented that their new solution is both easy to use and transport thanks to the robust yet compact case, that at just six inches long easily fits into a laptop bag. “Streamer plugs directly into a standard USB-C socket on any computer, no batteries or bulky power adapters are required,” he explains.
A range of inbuilt colour temperature pre-sets can be accessed directly from the onboard buttons, which also give instant intensity control. These pre-sets can also be easily modified by the user within the desktop app, available on both Mac and PC.
Streamer has an aluminium outer shell, designed to survive the rigours of a road warrior. “Whether you find yourself in a badly lit hotel room, an overcast airport terminal or just at your home office, you can make sure that you will always look your best,” Ravenhill continues.
The control app provides full management over the output level and colour, allowing the user to create their perfect balance.
But it’s Streamer’s full remote-control capability that provides the real bonus, according to product manager, William Irwin. “If Streamer needs to be operated from a remote location, such as a TV studio, full control can be achieved with instantaneous response. Thanks to the browser-based app, Streamer can be controlled from computers, smartphones and tablets, giving a lighting designer full control over the device.”.
GLP’s Streamer Deluxe Control Kit comes complete with mounting accessories including an extendable tripod, a 12-inch gooseneck extension for hard-to-reach places, a suction cup and USB-C to USB-C cable, contained in a purpose-designed case with moulded foam interior.
