Jan 13, 2011
- Great new workspace with additional atmospherics, beam effects, logos and QuickFX.
- New Languages menu with support for English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Portuguese and Russian.
- Added Video Tutorials to the help menu. (Because of their size, only a few of the video tutorials are available as part of the downloadable update.)
- Added an additional Help Button that allows you to quickly access the about box, help file, and help videos.
- Added Virtual Laser Jockey (VLJ). The VLJ feature can automatically trigger cues and trigger effects, to the beat of the music or triggered by incoming audio.
- Added the ability to control up to nine laser projectors, each with its own FB3.
- Added the ability to rename projectors that appear on the status bar. Just right-click on the controller/projector on the status bar and you will be able to rename it.
- Added additional color controls to support RGV (red, green, violet) and TTL lasers.
- Added "zone hot-keys". Now you can see nine projection zones in the preview window, and activate them with the numeric keypad on the computer keyboard.
- Added support for DMX Input using the ENTTEC DMX USB PRO device. The DMX Channel assignment is the same as that for the FB3.
- Dramatically improved DMX Output and the QuickDMX tab. DMX Output is performed by the ENTTEC DMX USB PRO device.
- Dramatically improved the MIDI Input section of the program.
- Dramatically improved the timeline portion of the program, including new event editors and changes to the way keys are visualized.
- Added the ability to export any cue to a series of frames. The exported frames can be used in other Pangolin products such as LD2000, LivePRO or LiveQUICK.
- Added an Administrator mode and User mode, whereby an Administrator can setup the software and restrict the features to be used by users, after being installed in a venue.
- Added the ability to easily move pages around the workspace and rearrange the workspace as desired by the user.
- Added the ability for QuickShow to make automatic backups of any file you save, so you will always be able to get back to the previous version of any file if desired.
- Improved font support, especially for Chinese and Asian text.
- Improved the QuickCapture tool, making it easier to place multiple cues into a single cue.
- Changed the targeted beam system for greater power in individual beams. Also added safety improvements, thanks to the ability to turn on and off individual beams.
