beamZ Pro Brute 20000FB4 - 20W RGB Pure Diode Laser System IP65 with Pangolin FB4 Interface
The beamZ Pro Brute 20000FB4 redefines the standards of professional high-power laser projection. Designed to meet the most demanding challenges at large events and festivals, this system delivers an impressive 20W (20,000mW) guaranteed output generated exclusively using pure semiconductor diode technology. Unlike older DPSS systems, pure diodes ensure greater stability, extended lifespan, and, most importantly, high-precision analog color modulation. This allows lighting designers to create millions of color shades with smooth, linear fades, avoiding the "stepped" effect of more basic TTL systems.
At the heart of this lighting giant lies the prestigious integrated Pangolin FB4 control interface. This technology transforms the projector into an intelligent network device, eliminating the need for cumbersome and limited ILDA cables. The FB4 acts as an internal media server, enabling direct control via Ethernet using industry-standard protocols such as ArtNet and sACN , or from a DMX lighting console. Furthermore, its SD memory capacity allows for the loading of complete shows created in software such as QuickShow or BEYOND, which can then be run automatically at scheduled times or triggered by external devices, offering complete flexibility for both fixed installations and touring.
The Brute 20000FB4 is built for the road and the elements. Its die-cast aluminum housing boasts an IP65 rating, making it completely dustproof and water-jet resistant—ideal for outdoor venues where rain or dirt pose a risk. Combined with a precision 35kpps graphic scanning system, this laser is not only a powerhouse for massive aerial effects spanning stadiums, but also maintains the necessary precision for crisp graphic projections, logos, and text at long distances.
Main features
-
Extreme Power 20W RGB: Balanced configuration with 4W of Red (638nm), 4W of Green (525nm) and an impressive 12W of Blue (455nm), allowing you to generate a brilliant pure white and intense saturated colors visible from miles away.
-
Pangolin FB4 MAX Interface: Integrated complete network control system that supports ArtNet, sACN, DMX and ILDA, facilitating integration into large lighting networks without external interfaces.
-
IP65 All-Terrain Protection: Hermetically sealed chassis that protects optical and electronic components from dust, fog machine smoke and water, drastically reducing internal maintenance and cleaning needs.
-
High-Speed Graphic Scanners: 35kpps scans at 8° with a maximum scanning angle of 50°, perfect for drawing complex shapes and smooth, flicker-free text.
-
Advanced Analog Modulation: Precise control of the intensity of each diode for infinite color blends and professional fades.
-
Scan Fail Safety: Active protection system that cuts off the beam emission if it detects a failure in the movement of the mirrors, protecting the safety of the audience and the equipment.
Benefits for the professional
The Brute 20000FB4 offers a clear competitive advantage: simplified setup without sacrificing power. By integrating the FB4, technicians can run standard network (CAT) cables instead of ILDA conduits, enabling significantly greater control distances and seamless integration with grandMA, Avolites, or Chamsys lighting consoles. Furthermore, its high output power ensures the beam breaks through even in environments with heavy light pollution or high-brightness LED displays behind it, guaranteeing the laser show remains the visual highlight.
Use cases
-
Festivals and Outdoor Concerts: Its IP65 rating and 20W power make it perfect for aerial projections (sky beams) and audience effects in large stadiums.
-
Laser Mapping Projections and Advertising: Thanks to its 35kpps scanners and low divergence, it is ideal for projecting logos and animations onto buildings or mountains at a great distance.
-
Theme Parks and Fixed Attractions: The FB4's ability to run standalone shows from the SD card allows for permanent installations that operate without a daily operator.
-
World Tours: Its robust construction and etherCON and powerCON TR (True1) connectors ensure reliability night after night under demanding transport conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Do I need to buy an external interface to use this laser?
No. The laser comes with the Pangolin FB4 interface built-in. You can connect it directly to your computer via network cable or control it via ArtNet/DMX.
-
Is it really rainproof?
Yes, it has IP65 certification. This means it's protected against dust and water jets from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use in moderate rain (although common sense is always recommended in extreme storms).
-
What software can I use to control it?
The FB4 hardware is designed to work natively with Pangolin software (QuickShow or BEYOND). QuickShow is typically included with the FB4 hardware license (check the specific package contents).
-
Can I use it in automatic mode without a console?
Yes, you can schedule shows, load them into internal memory, and set them to play automatically when powered on or according to a specific schedule thanks to the FB4's internal clock.
