Lasershow Designer 2000 has all the tools you need to create award-winning laser light shows.

LD2000

Lasershow Designer 2000 is by far the world's best-selling and most-used system for creating and displaying laser shows. It is simple enough that first-time users can play shows "out of the box" within minutes. Yet, it has an incredible amount of depth -- just about anything you want to do with laser graphics and beams, you can do with LD 2000. Plus, while playing the laser show, the LD2000 software suite can also control other types of media, such as audio, video, DMX-controlled moving lights and pyro. For a full listing of the differences between LD2000 Pro, LD2000 Basic and LD2000 Intro, see the table comparing the three versions.

A Lasershow Designer 2000 system includes...
LD2000 software: A suite of programs and utilities that work together to create and sequence images into animated laser shows and beam effects, all played back with audio, video, DMX-controlled lights and pyro. The software runs on Windows computers (2000, ME, XP, Vista). LD2000 programs include:

LD2000 drawing and graphics program

QM2000 hardware board: This goes in a slot in a desktop computer, or in a QM2000.NET box on your laptop's network. The QM2000 board does all of the crucial calculations, and it holds all of the laser frames and show content.

LD2000 Professional

The ultimate laser show software. Six-channel analog PCAOM color for 1 trillion hues. 3D database objects which can rotate in 3D perspective. 32 tracks.

LD2000 Basic

Similar to LD2000 Pro but with 2D (flat) objects which can rotate in 3D perspective. 16 tracks. LD2000 Basic also includes Lasershow Converter 4D, Lasershow Converter FLASH and TraceIT. Note that you can upgrade to LD2000 Pro at any time by paying the cost difference.
LD2000 Basic includes one QM2000 board, which fits in a half-length (7") PCI bus slot. The LD2000 software comes on a CD-ROM which includes clip art frames and over 100 modules (song-length shows). 50-page illustrated installation manual and Tutorial DVD are also included.

LD2000 Intro includes one QM2000 board which fits in a half-length (7") PCI bus slot. The LD2000 software comes on a CD-ROM which includes clip art frames and over 100 modules (song-length shows). 50-page illustrated installation manual and Tutorial DVD are also included.

512MB Memory

       Currently-shipping versions of LD2000 come standard with 256MB of memory. Shows that make heavy use of raster frames or computer graphic animations may require more memory.
        256MB is good for most users creating typical laser shows. If your whole show is done with Raster frames, 3D Studio MAX, Macromedia FLASH or Cinema 4D, you might require 512MB or more. (Note: To use 512MB, your board needs to be manufactured after December 20, 2002, or it will need to be updated by Pangolin to handle the larger memory).
