Pangolin Beyond / LD2000

Are there any differences between using Beyond with a QM2000 and with a FB3?

There are no differences in the software and its capabilities, but there are some differences in working with the hardware when controlling multiple projectors and when networking.

One of the great features of Beyond is that it can control a virtually unlimited number of laser projectors simultaneously. Each projector will need its own QM2000 or FB3. You can buy these separately. To do so, purchase an LD2000 Intro system (NET) or a QuickShow system (FB3). Then, use just the hardware. (Of course, you can also use the software that came with LD2000 Intro or QuickShow. This is handy to run additional, totally separate, installations.).


A Beyond multi-projector system can use any combination of hardware -- all QM2000s, all FB3s, or mixed.

I'm unsure if BEYOND does fine for me - I only know LD2000. Do you sell the LD2000 as well?

During the release phase of BEYOND, Pangolin offers the LD2000 together with BEYONG - FOR FREE!

So you get the LD2000 delivered together with BEYOND as long as the BEYOND software is in the realease state.

So you don't have to worry: You get the LD2000, that you probably already know quite well, and you get BEYOND with which you can try out and test the new features and great advantages.

Is your laser control software Mac / Apple compatible?

There is actually no known professional showlaser software in the market, that works on MAC / Apple operating system. However, it is possible to operate all software products, that we offer, in a Windows emulated environment on Mac systems.

There are several technical limitations that make it tricky to just switch existing software solutions to Mac OS ( e.g. deep integration with DirectX or OpenGL and similar Windows APIs).

QuickShow included with Beyond?

Although some of Beyond's screens look like QuickShow, Beyond is a separate program; QuickShow is not included.

Beyond builds on the significant user interface improvements that were introduced with QuickShow. But Beyond goes much deeper, to give greater control. It really is the best of QuickShow plus Lasershow Designer 2000.

What are the differences between QuickShow and Beyond?

Beyond has a good number of additional professional features, such as an advanced multimedia timeline, advanced frame creation tools and advanced 3D modeling and animation capabilities. QuickShow was purposely designed without these things because 1) having too many features tends to confuse new lasershow users and 2) most beginners don't need these particular advanced features.
