Pangolin BEYOND Essentials - Professional Laser Control Software Update

Take your laser show design to the next level with an upgrade to Pangolin BEYOND Essentials . Designed specifically for Pangolin QuickShow users looking to expand their creative horizons, this license transforms your existing setup into a powerful, professional-grade workstation. BEYOND Essentials combines QuickShow's acclaimed ease of use with the power and flexibility of the legendary LD2000 software, creating an unparalleled hybrid platform for crafting high-impact laser light shows.

This software is the ultimate tool for lighting designers, DJs, event producers, and any artist who wants to create complex, perfectly synchronized laser shows. If you've already mastered QuickShow and feel you need more tools to bring your ideas to life, BEYOND Essentials is the natural next step. It allows you to easily control multiple laser projectors, integrate your shows with other multimedia elements, and access a suite of editing and creation tools that will take your productions to a higher professional level.

Main Features

• Direct Upgrade from QuickShow: Transform your QuickShow license into the BEYOND Essentials version, unlocking a new world of creative possibilities without losing your existing projects and files.
• Multimedia Timeline Editor: Unlike QuickShow, BEYOND Essentials includes a sophisticated multi-track timeline editor. It allows you to program complex laser sequences and synchronize them with pinpoint accuracy to audio and video tracks, creating cohesive multimedia shows.
• BEYOND Universe: Build and customize your own interfaces and workspaces. Create virtual consoles with sliders, buttons, and shortcuts to the functions you use most, optimizing your workflow for live control.
• PangoScript™: A powerful scripting tool that gives you access to the core of the software. Automate tasks, create custom effects, and map external controllers (MIDI, DMX) for fully customized, physical control of your show.
• Advanced Creation Tools: Overcome limitations with more advanced 3D graphics and animation editors. Design logos, text, and complex animations with a far superior level of detail and control.
• Enhanced Multi-Projector Control: Manage and direct multiple laser projectors independently and easily, allowing the creation of immersive scenes and effects distributed across different areas of a stage or venue.
• Hardware Compatibility: Fully compatible with Pangolin FB3 and FB4 laser control hardware, ensuring smooth communication and accurate conversion of software commands to the standard ILDA signal that controls projectors.

Benefits for the Lighting Designer

• Elevate the Quality of Your Shows: Go from creating simple cues to designing complete productions on a professional timeline, offering your clients more dynamic and elaborate shows.
• Professional and Efficient Workflow: Despite its power, BEYOND Essentials maintains an intuitive interface, familiar to QuickShow users, reducing the learning curve and accelerating production.
• Creativity Without Limits: With advanced drawing tools, abstract generators and scripting capabilities, the only barriers are those of your own imagination.
• Total Integration: Synchronize the laser with the rest of your lighting and video equipment thanks to support for standard protocols such as DMX and Art-Net, making the laser an integral part of a multimedia show ecosystem.
