New Whitelight Laser from Laserpromotions

Laserpromotions had announced the new Solidewhite4000 laser, a 4-watt full-color diode laser system. Laserpromotions says the system is as bright as a 10-watt ion laser because its wavelengths are more visible to the human eye. Laserpromotions, based in The Netherlands, says the new system is perfect for outdoor shows and large venues.

The Solidwhite4000b has dimensions of 70 x 40 x 20 cm and carries a Universal Module Connector to connect the company’s Proscan 6210 or 6800 projector units. The use of the Profiber fiber launcher or the Prosplit beam splitter module makes the positioning of small projectors up to 30 meters distant possible. 

Specifications: red 632 nm: 1200 mW;  green 532 nm: 1700 mW;  blue 473 nm: 1200 mW. Total power 4100 mW, balanced white power 3200 mW.  Beam diameter 3.5 mm, divergence 1-1.2 mRad.

SpookyBlue Grows Up: version V3 now available

After more than a year of development, MediaLas has announced a new, more sophisticated SpookyBlue V3 laser projector.  With all new electronics and advanced software features, SpookyBlue V3 offers an almost unlimited number of effects and animations, sorted in a logical and easy DMX user interface.

The previous SpookyBlue projector held 255 fixed animations in its memory, while the SpookyBlue V3 offers an entirely new concept. It can store 64 creative base patterns that can be manipulated and changed via four independent effect calculation channels, creating 2.7 x 1011 individual animation settings. This offers a total of 270 billion different laser effects. The handling of this entertainment power is made simple by using universally available DMX control systems, desks and software.

The projector also offers full laser blanking for multiple figures in one frame. A powerful green DPSS laser makes the unit independent from ambient temperature. New ACS-technology (analog continuous surveillance) monitors the laser output at any time and switches off laser if any problem is detected. Additionally, a separate processor monitors DMX line and switches off the laser in case of failure.

Open Source Player Software

An open-source laser show player developed as a personal project by Michael Svob is now available for download. The software was adapted for use by LFI International during the time Svob worked there, and was offered as a low-end solution for club installations.

The open hardware, open source, 3D laser player is primarily intended for the laser hobbyist and/or small laser entertainment applications. Svob says it is not a substitute for professional grade laser display software. Nonetheless, LFI Player includes a powerful array of both live and script driven performance tools. These capabilities have been field tested in real life applications.

The software was written for MS Windows (98 SE, 2000, and XP), and developed using MS Visual C++ (6.0). It available for download on SourceForge.net. at http://sourceforge.net/projects/lfiplayer3d
