What laser show software is right for you
To orchestrate an authentic laser exhibition, the indispensable requisites encompass laser design and control software solutions. These software applications are imperative for the conception of laser presentations and the realization of effects akin to those delineated previously. Notably, two industry benchmarks govern the domain of laser design software, namely QuickShow and BEYOND. A concise appraisal of each is expounded as follows:
QuickShow
Renowned for its robust capabilities, cost-effectiveness, and user-friendly interface, QuickShow unequivocally stands as the preeminent laser design and control software solution worldwide. It caters exceptionally well to novices in the laser field, as well as to those who seek a commanding yet uncomplicated user experience.
QuickShow empowers users to craft a diverse array of laser exhibitions and visual content, encompassing laser beam effects, laser-generated graphics, textual laser projections, laser-emblazoned insignias, and comprehensive laser animations. This software facilitates the real-time execution of shows, synchronized to musical rhythms, or pre-scheduled on a chronological scale. QuickShow also offers versatile show management options, allowing users to wield control via a personal computer, MIDI control surface, DMX control console, or illumination control console.
QuickShow boasts a suite of proficient tools geared towards simplifying the process of generating tailored laser content and effects. These encompass:
1. QuickText: Streamlining the swift creation of laser textual compositions.
2. QuickShape: Enabling the formulation of laser beam effects and abstract designs.
3. QuickTrace: Rapidly engendering laser-etched logos.
4. QuickTargets: Designed for the playful execution of targeted beam sequences.
5. QuickDMX: Streamlining the interfacing of QuickShow with DMX control protocols.
6. QuickTimeline: An excellent resource for developing chronological laser spectacles harmonized with musical cadences.
7. QuickCapture: Facilitating the effortless amalgamation of laser images, encompassing both beams and graphical elements.
8. QuickFX: Providing a user-friendly avenue for the implementation of laser effects, which can be applied to any content element.
9. Virtual Laser Jockey and BPM Control: Offering precise control over the tempo and orchestration of shows, enhancing precision and visual impact.
10. Plugins for DJ Software: Fostering seamless integration of QuickShow with preferred DJ software, further enhancing versatility and performance synergy.

BEYOND - BEYOND stands as the preeminent laser design and multimedia control software globally accessible. Notably, BEYOND empowers users not only in the orchestration of laser showcases but extends its capabilities to the governance of multifaceted media components, encompassing video, LED-centric illumination, pyrotechnics, audio, and an array of supplementary elements.
The BEYOND software boasts comprehensive compatibility with prominent protocols within the lighting industry, encompassing network, DMX, ArtNet, SMPTE, MIDI, OSC, and ILDA. Furthermore, it encompasses an array of robust utilities facilitating seamless show management from your preferred lighting, DMX, or MIDI console. The software also affords the capability to configure these devices and craft bespoke profiles through its "scripting tools." These tools provide access to the software's core, empowering customization to align with precise requirements.
This software houses a highly potent effect engine, enabling the creation of a diverse array of intricate and sophisticated laser effects with remarkable ease of operation.
For clients engrossed in laser graphics and 3D laser content design, BEYOND offers an embedded, formidable 3D animation program. This feature empowers users to generate an extensive spectrum of laser animations and 3D objects. Compatibility extends to leading 3D animation software like 3D Studio Max, Cinema 4D, Maya, Blender, and others.
The advanced drawing module within BEYOND functions akin to a "Photoshop" for lasers, allowing users to conceive and design a wide array of laser content limited only by their imagination. Additionally, it encompasses an extraordinarily potent abstract generator capable of generating breathtaking abstract laser content.
BEYOND excels in the domain of color mixing, boasting an advanced color palette training system that streamlines the harmonization of colors across all laser show projectors in the setup.
The software offers commendable tools for geometric correction and laser mapping, facilitating the projection of lasers onto intricate surfaces or configuring specific projection areas for laser deployment.
Innovatively, BEYOND introduces the capability to craft interactive laser displays, featuring an interactive show module that translates bodily movements into laser motion.
Similar to QuickShow, BEYOND provides access to an extensive library of free laser shows and laser clip art frames. It seamlessly integrates with the groundbreaking NEWFEEL Cloud. Moreover, BEYOND supports over 50 laser projectors, all managed from a single control station.
BEYOND is a software solution and, upon acquisition, is licensed to one of your NEWFEEL hardware devices, such as the FB3QS or FB4. It functions in a master/slave configuration, necessitating only one BEYOND license for a hardware unit, which then assumes the role of the "master dongle." Subsequently connected laser control hardware operates as slaves within the system. This cost-effective approach facilitates the execution of large-scale laser shows using BEYOND, as a single license suffices to oversee multiple laser show control hardware components.
BEYOND software is available in three distinct versions: Essentials, Advanced, and Ultimate. Clients can seamlessly upgrade between these tiers, ensuring flexibility in meeting evolving needs.
