BEYOND is laser design software developed for lighting professionals and used to create the highest quality laser shows and effects. It is designed for professional laser lighting applications for entertainment at live concerts, television shows and productions, music festivals, discos, DJs, clubs, bars, private events and for service / rental companies.
BEYOND supports all lighting protocols including DMX, Art-Net, MIDI, SMPTE Time Code, OSC, and CITP, making it easier than ever before to integrate lasers into any multimedia show or design. BEYOND provides you with a complete suite of tools to create any sort of laser display you can imagine, and then gives you the functionality to control your content however you desire (from a lighting console, PC, over Time Code, from a MIDI device, or in combination with other multimedia elements).
BEYOND software is available in three versions (Essentials, Advanced, and Ultimate), and Pangolin also offers a convenient upgrade path between these three versions.
The BEYOND Ultimate software license can be purchased to run on any Pangolin hardware device (including FB3QS, FB4, QM2000, and FB3SE hardware). This product is licensed for existing FB3, FB4 or QM2000 hardware.
