Showcontroller
Professional timeline programming and live laser-show control.
Showcontroller and ShowNETDirectly compatible Software to the ShowNET laser mainboard
Direct network control
Software that works directly with ShowNET
The ShowNET laser mainboard can communicate directly with a growing range of creative and professional software. A standard Ethernet connection carries the laser data from the application to the projector—without an additional control interface between the computer and a ShowNET-equipped laser.
ShowNET compatibility is not limited to traditional laser-show software. The ecosystem includes timeline-based show production, multimedia and projection mapping, visual programming, 3D content creation and live performance tools.

The platform
What is ShowNET?
ShowNET is a multifunctional laser mainboard for modern show-laser systems. Its integrated digital-to-analogue converter enables direct control from compatible software over a normal computer network.
ShowNET can also receive DMX or Art-Net control, play ILDA content from its integrated microSD card and support stand-alone laser operation.
Integrated mainboard Installed in compatible Laserworld, tarm and RTI projectors.
External interface Adds ShowNET control to a laser system with an ILDA input.
Included software: every laser system with integrated ShowNET and every external ShowNET interface is supplied with a free Showeditor licence.
Flexible control
Operating modes for different workflows
Use ShowNET from specialist laser software, a lighting console, a local content library or a network-streaming setup.
Direct DAC control
Compatible computer software sends laser-control data directly to ShowNET over Ethernet. ShowNET converts the digital stream into the analogue signals used by the projector.
Automatic and stand-alone modes
Sound-to-light, music, master/slave and automatic playback modes use content stored on the integrated microSD card.
DMX control
Choose a reduced DJ profile or the 34-channel professional mode, including access to safety and calibration settings that can be saved to the mainboard.
Art-Net control
Integrate a ShowNET-equipped laser with compatible lighting consoles, network controllers and lighting software.
ILDA streaming
Transport ILDA control data across longer distances using network infrastructure, with ShowNET converting and transmitting or receiving the signal.
Custom software integration
An API / SDK is available for developers who want to integrate direct ShowNET output into other software products.
Local content
Integrated microSD card
Both ShowNET versions include a microSD card with a library of ILDA patterns and animations. Users can replace or extend this content with their own graphics, logos, animations and complete laser shows.
Stored files can be triggered through DMX or Art-Net and provide the content for ShowNET’s automatic and stand-alone modes.
