LD2000 feature overview
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lasershow Designer is the most
popular professional-level laser show software on Earth. This page gives you a brief
overview of the features in an LD2000 system. For more information on a feature, click on the
picture or on the subhead.
Three versions to fit any need
There are three versions of LD2000: Pro, Basic
and Intro. For more information on the difference between these
levels, click here. |

A hardware card that goes in the computer. The
QM2000 is a sophisticated laser-computer-on-a-board; it handles all laser
signal processing so output quality does not depend on the Windows PC's microprocessor.
(Note: Because it handles all laser signal processing, the QM2000 must be installed in the computer in order for LD2000 to run.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
A program for creating, editing and
animating frames. This was the first software component written for LD2000, so it is
also called Lasershow Designer 2000 (or the "frame editor").
|
|
|
|
|
|
A program for
making the laser show.
You create effects, and sequencing those effects with frames and music. This is called
Showtime;
it uses a timeline editing system similar to standard
multimedia programs (Adobe Premiere, Macromedia Director).
|
|
|
|
|
|
A program for setting up and playing cues live. This is
called Live!
It runs as part of Showtime but functionally can be
considered a separate program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An optional hardware console called
Lasershow
Performer. This duplicates the features of the Live! software, but because
it is a dedicated hardware device, it makes it easier to run shows. It also has extra
features such as built-in audio and microphone beat detection.
Note: Lasershow Performer is
not stand-alone. It must be attached to a computer running Lasershow
Designer 2000, or the original Lasershow Designer.
