|
The firmware on the Lasershow Player model CD2000 has undergone a number of changes over the last five years. In addition to the firmware changes, a new LD2000.QMS file has also been created specifically for the latest firmware, and a completely new user manual has also been created.
Features included with CD2000 firmware version 2.53; LD2000.QMS version 4.00
The
Lasershow Player allows you to have up to 99 shows on each
CD. Each show can have its own Frame file (.LDS), its own Palette file (.SP1) and its own
Zone file (.LDZ), or all shows can share the default Frame file, Palette file
and Zone file.
The Lasershow Player also includes a real time clock and the ability to automatically
load and play shows starting and ending at times that you set with
the menus. Alternatively, you can have Lasershow Player
automatically load and play the shows when power is applied. These
"Play on timer" and "Play on boot" modes can be used for
unattended playback applications.
And the Lasershow Player allows for full adjustment of scanning speeds, color
shift, looping modes, and geometric correction settings for 5
zones. A total of 30 zones, as well as frame- and show-level
security are all possible thanks to full compatibility with LD2OOO
version 4.0. Plus, support for SMPTE using the Aquila or Pangolin's TC2000 Time Code Controller
is now possible, along with the possibility to connect a number of
synchronized CD2000s.
Updating your firmware
Information about how to update the firmware in your CD2000 is contained within the user manual which is included in the zip file below. Note that you must update the firmware in order to get all of the new features.
Download the latest update file - firmware version 2.53; LD2000.QMS version 4.00
Click here to download the CD2000 update zip file. This file contains the latest CD2000 manual, firmware, update utility and LD2000.QMS file.
Old CDs with version 1.0 firmware are not compatible with the new firmware
If you have CDs that
were made for the older version 1.0 firmware, they will not
work properly with firmware version 2.0 and later. CD2000
firmware version 2.0 and later requires you to
place a newer LD2000.QMS on the CD (the newer LD2000.QMS
file is included in the update file listed above).
If you have updated your CD2000
firmware and you want to use older CDs, you will need to
downgrade the CD2000 firmware in order to play these CDs. The procedure to downgrade
the firmware is identical to the procedure to upgrade the
firmware. The only difference is the firmware file that you
select. The older firmware file is CD_V111.HEX and is
included in the CD2000 update
zip file.
Alternatively, you could copy the
show, frame and palette files from the older CD into a newer
CD, and include the newer LD2000.QMS file that corresponds
with the latest update. This way you will be able to play
your old shows while enjoying all of the latest CD2000
features.
