Pangolin et ses Clients balayent les ILDA Awards 2016

ILDA Awards are considered to be one of the highest honors in the laser light show and laser entertainment industry. And at the 2016 ILDA Conference and Awards Ceremony in Baltimore, Maryland (that just concluded), Pangolin and their clients once again won the vast majority of ILDA awards received. Setting a firm precedent yet again, that Pangolin is the industry standard when it comes to laser light show equipment, and technology.

Pangolin’s new FB4 Laser Show Media Server took home the first place award for technical achievement this year. ILDA technical achievement awards recognize outstanding technologies released into the marketplace, and FB4 certainly set a new benchmark in this regard. FB4 is the world’s first “media server for laser shows” and this new network laser show control platform offers laserists a variety of new benefits, including:

• Support for all major lighting and laser protocols: Network, DMX, ArtNet, ILDA, Stand-alone with RTC (real time clock).
• Full color OLED display – for direct control of all projector settings (including colors, geometry, safety, and more).
• Convenient integration and setup options…
  • FB4 can be build inside of any standard laser show projector.
  • Or FB4 can be used externally, with an existing ILDA laser show projector.

When working with FB4, it makes it easy for laser show production companies to add lasers into any multimedia show setup (due to the amount of industry protocols FB4 supports). In addition, FB4 vastly reduces the amount of cabling needed to create multiple projector laser displays, while also making it easier to control more lasers, from a single control station.

FB4 also has huge implications for lighting designers who wish to work with lasers, as it makes control of a laser show from a lighting console easier than ever. Due to the fact that FB4 supports both ArtNet and DMX, and that it can be integrated directly inside of a laser show projector, it allows lighting designers to easily control lasers like a standard lighting fixture. Something our colleagues in the lighting community, have wanted for a long time.
