Q
What are the differences between QuickShow and Beyond?
A
QuickShow lacks a number of professional features, such as an advanced multimedia timeline, advanced frame creation tools, and advanced 3D modeling and animation capabilities. QuickShow was purposely designed without these things because 1) having too many features tends to confuse new laser show users and 2) most beginners don't need these particularly advanced features.
Q
How will Beyond improve operator workflow and creativity?
A
If you already know LD2000, the current version of Beyond will give you somewhat similar functionality. But a key advantage comes for the new user, and the LD2000 user willing to do things the "Beyond way". It is much easier to create laser shows with the QuickShow-like interface in Beyond. Using QuickTools is much faster than, for example, editing transitions in an effect on LD2000's Showtime program. Beyond is further developed, its capabilities and workflow will continue to improve over LD2000.
Q
How does LivePro work with Beyond?
A
LivePro is a separate Pangolin program which is optimized for live performance. It works differently and has a different approach and philosophy than Beyond. While we do have live performance controls in Beyond, anyone doing complex live shows should continue to use LivePro.
