Upgrade from Lasershow Designer 2000

If you purchased LD2000 on or after April 6, 2011, congratulations! Please contact us to get your free upgrade to Beyond. The rest of this page is for

customers who purchased LD2000 before April 6, 2011.

If you purchased LD2000 before April 6, 2011, here’s how you can move up to the next-generation Beyond. We have a special, limited-time offer:

For each LD2000 system you have, you can upgrade to Beyond for half price. Your new Beyond upgrade system will work with your existing LD2000
hardware (QM2000 board). You can switch between
your old LD2000 software and your new Beyond software -- whichever you prefer. That way, you can still update and play your existing LD2000 shows,
while you also explore all of Beyond’s new features.

The half-price upgrade offer is good for each LD2000 system you own, and is based on your purchase price (e.g., whatever you paid -- retail or dealer pricing).

The offer is good through November 30, 2011.

Pricing examples

Normal Beyond pricing (no upgrade)

There are three levels of Beyond, just as there are three levels of Lasershow Designer. We have been able to keep the new Beyond prices the same as the older LD2000 prices.

Here are the retail prices:

Beyond Essentials, $1495
Beyond Advanced, $2495
Beyond Ultimate, $4995

Special half-price upgrade offer (through Nov. 30)

If you already own LD2000, you can get Beyond for half the price you paid. Here’s an example using retail pricing:

If you purchased LD2000 Intro at $1495, you can upgrade to Beyond Essentials for $745 (half the normal price of $1495).
If you purchased LD2000 Basic at $2495, you can upgrade to Beyond Advanced for $1245 (half the normal price of $2495).
If you purchased LD2000 Pro at $4995, you can upgrade to Beyond Ultimate for $2495 (half the normal price of $4995).

Upgrading to a higher version

It is also possible to upgrade from one level to a higher level. You pay for the half-price upgrade from your level of LD2000 to the same level of Beyond,

and then the cost difference between the levels. Here are examples:

If you purchased LD2000 Intro at $1495, you can upgrade to Beyond Essentials for $745, to Beyond Advanced for $1745 (745 upgrade + 1000 difference),
or to Beyond Ultimate for $4245 (745 upgrade + 3500 difference).
If you purchased LD2000 Basic at $2495, you can upgrade to Beyond Advanced for $1245 or to Beyond Ultimate for $3745 (1245 upgrade + 2500 difference)

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.

This page gives you a good overview of all the products within the LD2000 family. Click on links to find out much more about the products you're interested in.

Lasershow Designer 2000

This is the heart of the family. For many users, an LD2000 system is all they need to produce high-quality, client-pleasing shows. LD2000 comes with the following software and hardware:

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
Showtime timeline-based show creation& playback program
Autoplay simple, automatic show playback program, with included scrolling text capability
Live! cue triggering utility. Designed for performing at live events such as corporate theater

LD2000 Intro, $1495. Most economical choice, but still retaining a lot of capability from its higher-priced counterparts.

LIGHT CONVERSE is a program that does real time photorealistic rendering of lights, trusses, staging, and now lasers. Professional users will enjoy the ability to show clients mock stages of how their laser shows will look along with other multimedia content.Now you can visualize the output of all LD2000 programs (including customer-written programs that use the LD2000 SDK) through the third-party visualization program LIGHT CONVERSE.

DMX controller boards: As mentioned above, the LD2000 software suite can control lighting and theatrical equipment using DMX-512 devices, including decoder and controller boards to output DMX512 signals.
Laser-projected SMS messaging

Interactive Messaging Unlimited software and cellular modem: Get incoming SMS messages into your computer, and see them projected live. This highly sophisticated system filters and processes messages, and outputs approved messages through either laser or video output.

Although IMU is most popular for video applications, the laser output is still available for projects such as writing SMS messages at a trade show or on the side of a mountain.

Hardware for playing back shows

An LD2000 system can be used to create and playback shows. However, many users only need playback capability. These hardware devices can be put near or in a laser projector. Unskilled operators can easily play shows in this way.

SMS Text Messaging Systems
for laser and video: $695

Flashback 3 OEM laser controller: A credit-card sized board using a Compact Flash card to store lasershow data and music files. Designed primarily to be built into projectors.

Product: Flashback 3 - SE (FB3-SE)
Price: $595 + shipping

QM2000.NET laser controller: Need to control many projectors at once? Or want to run Lasershow Designer 2000 software on your notebook? The QM2000.NET box includes a QM2000 playback board and an interface to standard computer networks.

You can place laser projectors far away from a central LD2000 controller, and send signals down the network to QM2000.NET boxes. Some clients have remotely controlled over a dozen remote projectors in this way.

You can also create and play back LD2000 shows using notebook computers (since they don’t have slots for the QM2000 board, but they do have network connectors).

Advanced programming, and custom projects

Lasershow Designer 2000 software has been in continuous development since 1986. There are a lot of specialized routines we have created, to control laser beams and graphics. This highly optimized code is at the heart of all Pangolin laser programs.

QM2000.NET laser controller $ 799

The LD2000 Software Development Kit (SDK) gives you access to laser-specific routines. This lets you create your own custom application.

Some example uses include industrial laser systems for alignment, scientific systems for 3D visualization using vector graphics, and even gaming. (At SIGGRAPH 2007, Pangolin software was used to project laser versions of classic vector videogames such as Asteroids, Battlezone and Tempest.)
