Direct hardware output
CloudLase Studio and ShowNET
CloudLase Studio lists ShowNET among its supported laser-output devices. The desktop application sends output over the local network and provides per-projector calibration profiles.
This makes the ShowNET-equipped laser part of the same workflow used to design visuals, program a timeline, preview a show and perform it live.
Network output Use ShowNET through the Ethernet network available to the desktop computer.
Per-projector profiles Keep output and calibration settings organised for the projectors in the rig.
Built-in simulator Preview the intended laser result while creating and programming the show.
Multi-projector output Use the appropriate CloudLase edition for productions with multiple laser outputs.
CloudLase ecosystem
One workflow across desktop, browser and mobile
CloudLase separates different parts of the creative workflow into products for desktop production, browser-based design and mobile performance.
Cloud Designer
A browser-based environment for creating and editing ILDA shows, with workspace synchronisation to the desktop workflow.
CloudLase GO
The iPhone and iPad performance app. For direct ShowNET output, use the compatible desktop Studio workflow described on this page.
Create
A visual synthesizer for laser light
CloudLase’s laser synth uses two oscillators, morphing, kaleidoscope symmetry, BPM-synchronised LFOs and a patchable modulation matrix to create animated vector looks.
ILDA content can also be imported, played back and exported, making it possible to combine existing assets with new material.
Sequence and perform
Timeline, music analysis and live operation
Arrange laser clips, transitions and audio on a multi-track timeline. CloudLase can analyse a track, divide its arrangement into sections and generate beat-locked looks that remain editable clip by clip.
Audio analysis can route bass, mid and treble information to effect parameters, while Link synchronisation connects the laser workflow with compatible DJ and music systems.
Visual editor
Create and modify laser-ready vector content within the same project used for playback.
Multi-track timeline
Sequence complete laser shows against music with editable clips and transitions.
Performance mode
Operate and adapt laser looks in real time for live productions.
Audio-driven control
Use beat detection and frequency bands to drive effect parameters from files, system audio or a microphone.
ILDA workflow
Import and play ILDA material or export finished content for use in other compatible workflows.
Built-in simulation
Preview the programmed result and maintain calibration profiles for the connected projectors.
