DGC Mapping

Integrated in our PHAENON accurate laser projector and our AVB2ILDA converter, DGC Mapping allows you to correctly diplay a projection image on an uneven projection screen. With this we create a comprehensible and user-friendly process that makes projecting images on a wide range of objects possible.

Watch our video tutorial on Digitial Geometric Correction!

DEEP WEB 2019 at Kraftwerk Berlin

With 12 of our PHAENON X laser projectors and 175 moving ballons Christopher Bauder and Robert Henke turned the place into an abstract scene like from a movie. In the DEEP WEB exhibition, the audience could experience a 30-minute cycles of patterns and sound scapes. The laser projection was tuned to the movement of the ballons and depending on your own position in the room you could immerse into the sea of lights or observe the magic light creature from afar.

Watch this video with interviews by Christopher Bauder, Robert Henke und Michael Sollinger.

1. First Full Color Laser Projector Based on AVB
   
   
   
   Following comprehensive redesign of the prototype PHAENON Accurate LaserAnimation can now offer the first full color laser projector which uses the new revolutionary IEEE 802.1 AVB standard for streaming of laser images via LAN.
   Managing Director M. Sollinger: "We think this will change the way laser shows are produced, stored and operated. Laser display data is treated in the same way as audio data i.e. laser images can be used like samples and modified in terms of size and color. We hope this will open laser to a much wider range of artists, since no special laser show programming knowledge is necessary."
   
2. Two Artistic ILDA Awards for LaserAnimation
   • 1^st place for the light art and laser performance "Deep Web"
   • 3^rd place for the laser show "Empire State of Mind"

Deep Web - Most Spectacular Exhibition During CTM Festival 2016 in Berlin

The world premiere of Deep Web from February 2^nd to 7^th 2016 as part of the CTM festival was an overwhelming success, mainly for lighting artist Christopher Bauder and composer Robert Henke, but also for the different teams which supported and accompanied this installation.

A matrix of 175 lit spheres hanging on motorized winches as well as the beams from 12 installed high-power laser projectors formed a structure of lines and dots hovering in space with ever changing colors and movements. The laser-lit spheres moved in synchronous choreography with the composition (8 channel surround sound) by Robert Henke.

Lasergraph DSP Playback: Big Show - Small Price

To make realizing setups with multiple Lasergraph DSP more affordable the Lasergraph DSP Playback is now available. This is a non-editable version which will turn into a full-fledged Lasergraph DSP as soon as a Lasergraph DSP with the new Licensor feature is present in the network.

The new Lasergraph DSP Playback is used for playing back DSP laser shows. As with all other Lasergraph DSP controllers its characteristics are highest reliability and unrivalled
output quality. Installed in the tried and tested DSP compact housing it features all necessary interfaces for integrating other event- and stage devices in addition to the laser projector (ILDA, DMX, SMPTE, MIDI, RS232, RS485, Sync, LAN).

When the Playback is connected to a network which contains a Lasergraph DSP Mark 2 Licensor it immediately becomes a fully editable Lasergraph DSP. The Licensor generates a temporary editing license for the Playback as long as the network connection exists. This licensing mechanism is completely automated in a local network with hundreds of DSP Playback platforms and any Lasergraph DSP Mark 2 Licensor. No user input is necessary!

The price for one Lasergraph DSP Playback is 2190 EUR. The PCB for integration into a laser projector is even more advantageous.

The new software level Mark 2 Licensor is available for all Lasergraph DSP hardware platforms (compact + PCB, compact dual, travel and workstation). It can also be installed on existing systems through an upgrade.  Please ask your dealer about the relevant conditions!

Motorized Beam Adjustment in PHAENON X Projectors

Internal component for superposing the beams

It can be controlled using the "LA Toolbox" Software - allowing an easy and comfortable adjustment of the beam superposition. This is a big advantage of the new PHAENON X projectors which users will certainly appreciate. The position of the individual beams can change over time when the projectors are frequently transported, set up and taken down again. Until now the beams could only be adjusted using the small adjustment screws on the side of the device. In everyday use the projectors are often already installed in a stage setup, e.g. attached to a truss high up, when the laser is turned on and the beam misalignment is discovered. This used to mean the laser had to be taken down again for adjustment. This considerable effort is no longer necessary using the "Beam Adjust" of the LA Toolbox Software.
