PANGOLIN LASER SYSTEMS - LASER LIGHT SHOW SOFTWARE

Pangolin LD2000 Professional Laser Software
There are three versions of Pangolin Lasershow Designer 2000. Each includes a QM2000 hardware board, a 50-page illustrated manual, and an Installation CD with programs, help files, clipart frames, free shows and even royalty-free music.

Here are brief descriptions of the three Pangolin Lasershow Designer levels:
LD2000 Professional is the top version, for those doing laser shows full-time. It includes all features, including the ability to create 3D objects. When making a show, you can have up to 32 objects (tracks) simultaneously. A Pangolin Lasershow Designer LD2000 Pro system can create a show for a total of 32 projectors, in the same computer or over an Ethernet network.

LD2000 Basic is mid-level. You can make flat, 2D drawings but not 3D objects. The abstract generator has two oscillators, instead of Pro's three. When making a show, there are 16 tracks available. A Pangolin Lasershow Designer LD2000 Basic can create a show for a total of two projectors, or it can playback shows with up to 32 projectors in the same computer or over an Ethernet network.

LD2000 Intro is the lowest-cost, yet it still has a lot of power. You can create frames and shows with Intro. However, the frames will be flat (2D), the Abstract Generator has only one oscillator. When making a show, you can only work with 3 tracks, and there are fewer effects such as morphing. Still, for many simple uses, Intro is more than capable of doing high-quality shows. A Pangolin Lasershow Designer LD2000 Intro system can create a show for one projector, but it can still playback shows created with LD2000 Basic or Professional with up to 20 projectors. Intro systems are often used as "slaves" for Pro or Basic systems running multiple scanner heads. Intro systems also are ideal for playback-only applications, since they can play back any show created on any version: Pro, Basic or Intro.

Differences between Pangolin Lasershow Designer Pro, Basic and Intro
All three versions can playback any LD2000 show, with full effects. This means that even LD2000 Intro can play an LD2000 Pro show, with all of its advanced features. Thus, if you just want to play back shows, your best buy is LD2000 Intro.
Not only can you play back shows, but you can edit them. For example, you could replace the show's logo with your own. However, you can only use the editing features available in the particular program. This means that in Intro, you can edit just the first three tracks of a show. In Intro and Basic, you can edit a frame's X and Y coordinates, but not the Z coordinates (since these programs are 2D only). So if you need extensive editing of a show, consider Pro or Basic instead of Intro.
All three versions act as "slaves" for each other, in a multi-scanner projector. For example, you can put a Pro and Intro into a computer; the Intro will act as a slave to the Pro (including all Pro tracks and features) so you can run a two-scanner-head show.
