Illuminations lasers on video

Anyone know what shutter setting will stop the lasers from appearing like they're moving (strobe effect)? Not interested in making the show look artsy if that would be the effect if say the shutter has to be slowed way down..just was wondering if it was possible to make them appear stagnant in the video. Every video I've seen of them appears that they are strobe lasers. Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure if it's shutter or Hz that's the issue. It seems the solid state units have a clash with both 50 and 60 hz. It's not frames per second I know. You could always slow it waaayyyy down shutter wise and see what happens; though then you'll be into the realm of smearing.

Right, definitely don't want the smearing look. Ok, I'll try changing the hz, see what happens. Thanks!
