This animation shows a single Beamshaper module creating an aerial beam effect in
time to slow music. With Beamshaper, you just sit back and watch a light
show, automatically choreographed to live music.
(The
animation and photos in this column were taken from the video clips listed
elsewhere on this page.)

 
Beamshaper
really shines on a multi-color projector such as the Beamburst
Amber. Fingers of light reach out and over the audience.
The top photo shows slow music, the bottom photos show
when the tempo picks up. Parameters controlled include beam size, color,
speed, and direction.
Best of all, it happens automatically and perfectly on
the beat.
  
Add the optional second
Beamshaper module, and you have crossing aerial laser beam patterns like this. They are
complementary but not identical, to give infinite variety and interest.
Additional
high-resolution photos are on the
Beamshaper press release page.

Every 8-turret Beamburst laser projector now comes with a FREE
Beamshaper module. This
amazing new computerized effect creates aerial laser shows that are
automatically synchronized to music.
-
With 1-color Beamburst laser projectors, the
Beamshaper makes a sheet of light that pulsates in time to the music.
Sit back and relax as the laser takes the beat. (These 1-color projectors are the
Ruby and
Emerald
models. The animation at left gives an idea of these 1-color
Beamshaper patterns.)
-
Where the Beamshaper really shines, is with multiple-color
Beamburst projectors. The aerial light sheet effect comes alive with bands
and beams of color. It looks like the much more expensive laser light
shows you've seen at major concerts and spectacular events.(These multiple-color projectors are the
Amber
and
Fuchsia
models. The still photos at left show how multiple colors enhance the laser
show effect.)
Music-synchronized aerial laser
shows
The
magic comes from the built-in microphone and computer. The
stylish Beamshaper module is designed exclusively for Lumalaser by one of the oldest,
best-known laser show companies in the world. They know what makes a great
laser show, and they put their know-how into the Beamshaper's
sophisticated software. It thinks like a laserist does, changing beam
size, color, speed and direction in time with the music.
For example, when music is slow and soft, you see broad, flowing bands
of llight. For quick peaks and loud hits, you get individual beams. The
entire pattern moves as well, plus there are periods of symmetry and
asymmetry.
What all this means is that you get perfectly
synchronized aerial laser shows, automatically. You don't even have to
be anywhere near the projector -- run it hands-off!
Even
better, the Beamburst projector can be set to chase between the
Beamburst's seven other beam steering modules as well. This gives
you a variety of effects, including straight Star
Wars-like beams, multiple-beam diffraction effects, and the Beamshaper concert look.
Add a second Beamshaper module
You get one Beamshaper module FREE with your Beamburst projector.
For extra excitement, add a second module for just $245. With two
modules, you get two mirrored sheets of shimmering color.
Since each Beamshaper has its own microphone and
computer, the aerial effects they produce will be complementary.
See video
clips of Beamshaper in action
Sound great? See for yourself. The videos below
show the automatic music synchronization in action. All clips feature
a Beamburst Amber (red/yellow/green) projector. Both single-module
and dual-module shows are shown.
Each video clip uses Windows Media Format (WMF); the filesize
is approximately 1 MB.
Add to Mobolazer, too
Beamshaper comes free with all
Beamburst 8-turret projectors manufactured after September 2003.
We are also developing a retrofit
version for older Beamburst 8-turret projectors, as well as
Mobolazer brand laser projectors. Installation is simple -- just put it on
one of your existing turrets, and plug it into the projector. You can
retrofit a maximum of two Beamshapers per projector.
We expect the retrofit to begin
shipping in late November 2003. For more information on availability and
pricing, please contact Lumalaser
directly.
Omnisistem users: Sorry, unlike some of our
other accessories, the Beamshaper
Module does not work with Omnisistem brand projectors.
The next step: Lumascan
The only thing better than the
Beamshaper module is our Lumascan
graphics head. It lets you project shapes, drawings, text and graphics
from the Beamburst. You can read more
about Lumascan here.
