The Cavision Next-Generation Slate with LED Light and Color Clap Sticks is an updated version of the classic, film set, clapper slate. Clapping sticks provide simple and virtually foolproof visual and audio sync points when using a separate audio device to record audio (double system sound). The slate incorporates an LED light unit that illuminates the film title/production name section of the slate.

It features color swatches on the clap sticks, a pre-printed acrylic face to use available dry erase markers on, and an ABS resonance chamber on the back that amplifies the bang of the clap sticks closing, which is useful in noisy environments. The chamber also provides support to the slate itself, making it sturdier.

The slate's latch system holds the sticks closed, so they don't pop open when you are carrying the slate in between shots. The latch also means that you no longer need magnets and a stiff hinge to hold the slate closed, allowing the slate's single bolt hinge to provide free movement. A slot incorporated into the back of the slate provides a convenient way to hold the slate during operation. The slate is suitable for use on set or as a presentation item to the filmmaker when the film is done shooting.

LED unit backlights the production name field on the slate, providing legibility when shooting in dim/dark conditions. The light automatically turns off when the sticks are closed.

The LED light offers 5 modes:

• Fast-Flash
• Slow-Flash
• Bright
• Dim
• Bright-Flash

LED light lasts approximately 5-hours per charge.

The slate incorporates an internal charger with built in USB cable. You can charge the internal batteries via USB or use the included USB to 110/120VAC adapter.

Resonance Chamber amplifies the clap of the sticks, making it a crisper sound.

Pre-printed text is under the top acrylic surface, protecting the printing from wear and blurring over time.

Text fields: Prod., Roll, Scene, Shot, Take, Director, Show ID#, Camera, and Date.

Q: 5. What’s the best 560 or 800 D ?

A: The choice of one product over the other is going to depend on your needs. While the 560AS offers a wider CCT range (2300K-6800K) than the 800D (3200K-5600K), it does not offer the same RBG capability. If you use color effects on a regular basis, the 800's RBG feature will be extremely convenient. If you only need the bi-color feature, the 560AS is the better option as it is brighter. I hope you find this response helpful.

Q: 7. How bright do they get at 100% setting? Specs say 40 Watts, That doesn't seem very bright. Could this kit light a 10X10 green screen?

A: Wattage is the amount of work the electricity has to do to create light, and that depends on the device being used to create the light. Tungsten type light bulbs are the least effient so it takes much higher wattage to produce the same brightness as an LED. A 40W LED can produce as much light as a 200 ~400 W Tungten bulb and almost double the light of a fluorescent. 100% is the maximum brightness the fixture can emit.
