shows are easier to run, thanks to new controls on Beamburst projectors
 Simi Valley, Calif. –
It's just gotten a lot easier to run laser beam shows, thanks to
Lumalaser's new microprocessor-controlled Beamburst projectors. Glowing
front-panel controls give instant access to 12 audio-triggered preset
modes, plus four DMX-controlled modes. The new Target Assistant makes it
10 times faster to aim the laser beams for maximum audience effect.
Gone are the days of entering binary
codes with tiny DIP switches. "We tried hard to make Beamburst the
easiest-ever beam projector," says Lumalaser president Tim Ziegenbein.
"Just press the right arrow for menus, and the up/down arrows to make your
selections. You see the results instantly on the 2-line LCD screen -- even
in the dark."
With the new illuminated controls,
the Beamburst's mirrors can be initially aimed in about two minutes, and
then can be left in auto-run audio triggering mode. For LJ's (laser
jockeys) who want more hands-on control, there are four ways to use DMX.
Simple DMX mode takes only 5 channels to control 26 settings; the most
feature-rich DMX mode uses 22 channels to control 40 settings.
Lumalaser also recently added a free
laser pattern generator to the Beamburst. The new
Beamshaper
does fans, beam arrays and other patterns similar to live laser shows.
Both the Beamshaper generator, and the new front-panel glowing controls
were designed by laser expert Stephen Heminover, four-time president of
the International Laser Display Association. "Beamburst contains 20-plus
years of laser experience," says Heminover, "to give lots of variety from
a compact, affordable projector."
