Advanced technology

QuickShow isn’t just about a better user experience. It also has advanced technology such as the all-new Beyond calculation engine.

Beyond automatically takes care of scanner optimization and color mixing. In tests, QuickShow produced noticeably better image quality. One beta tester said: “It made my scanners look new again!”

Tools for every level of user

Whether you are new to lasers, or have years of experience, QuickShow adapts to your level:

You can do basic shows right out of the box. All you have to do is click on cues, or press keyboard keys, to display them in time to the music. QuickShow comes with nearly 2000 pre-loaded graphics, animations, beam effects and abstracts.
But there is far more power in QuickShow than simply triggering cues. The next level is the unique QuickTools, which are used to make custom cues such as auto-traced artwork, text, and beam bounces. For example, the QuickShape tool (discussed below) makes it easy to create abstracts and beam effects (cones, fans, planes, etc.).
Finally, for the ultimate in customization, use advanced editors for professional-level features such as cue layering and sequencing, automatic beat triggering, timelines for syncing to pre-recorded music, triggering DMX channels, and controlling up to six projectors.

Example: Creating abstract shapes

To see how this works, let's look at creating various shapes such as abstracts. You can instantly call up a pre-defined shape (cue frame), or create your own basic shapes using the QuickShape tool, or get ultimate control using the Advanced Abstract editor.

QuickShow has a U.S. suggested end-user price of $595. This includes the software plus the hardware interface (Flashback 3 controller) that goes between your PC computer and your laser projector.
