Pangolin Software:
Lasershow Designer 2000 is the state-of-the-art system for laser show production and presentation. LD2000 takes the best qualities of Pangolin's multi-award-winning Lasershow Designer series, and adds more speed and more features.
Here are three versions of Lasershow Designer 2000. Each includes a
QM2000 hardware board, a 50-page illustrated manual, and an Installation CD with programs,
help files, clipart frames, free shows and even royalty-free music.
Here are brief descriptions of the three
levels:
LD2000 Professional is the top version, for those doing laser shows full-time. It includes all features, including the ability to create 3D objects. When making a show, you can have up to 32 objects (tracks) simultaneously.
An LD2000 Pro system can control up to three other LD2000 systems (usually Intros) in the same computer, to run up to four scanner heads (projectors).LD2000 Basic is mid-level. You can make flat, 2D drawings but not 3D objects. The abstract generator has two oscillators, instead of Pro's three. When making a show, there are 16 tracks available.
An LD2000 Basic can control one other LD2000 system (usually an Intro) in the same computer, to run up to two scanner heads (projectors).LD2000 Intro is the lowest-cost, yet it still has a lot of power. You can create frames and shows with Intro. However, the frames will be flat (2D), the Abstract Generator has only one oscillator. When making a show, you can only work with 3 tracks, and there are fewer effects such as morphing. Still, for many simple uses, Intro is more than capable of doing high-quality shows.
An LD2000 Intro system controls just one scanner head (projector).
Intro systems are often used as "slaves" for Pro or Basic systems running multiple scanner heads. Intro systems also are ideal for playback-only applications, since they can play back any show created on any version: Pro, Basic or Intro.
LD2000 Professional, $6995. The top 3D laser show software in the world.
LD2000 Basic, $3495. Most of the power of LD2000 Pro, but you can only create 2D frames, not 3D ones.
LD2000 Intro, $1995. Perfect for simple shows and playback-only applications.
