Product Overview

Click Here, for a complete overview of the FB4 Hardware Platform.

FB4 is a media server for your laser shows, allowing you to control all projector and show control parameters, as well as giving you the ability to easily interface with other lighting and production equipment. You can control FB4 from a lighting console, PC, or in auto-mode.

FB4 is a customizable OEM hardware device, that can be configured in different ways based on your needs as a client. FB4 was originally designed to be installed directly inside of your laser projector, thus giving you the option of entirely eliminating the ILDA (DB-25 cable) from your show setup, and allowing you to operate your laser more like a standard lighting fixture. FB4 can also be built into a standalone enclosure, if you wish to use the hardware outside of the laser projector.

The FB4 DMX product you see here features the FB4 main board, custom network/ArtNet port, SD card memory (for automatic show playback) and the full color OLED display (for control over a variety of projector parameters, including colors, geometric correction, safety and more). It also includes our proprietary DMX-in and DMX-through daughterboard, if DMX support is required.

* All FB4 hardware, includes a copy of the award-winning QuickShow software, absolutely FREE.

The software is compatible with both our FB3QS USB based hardware, and FB4 network based hardware.

QuickShow comes standard with nearly 2000 pre-loaded laser beam effects, graphics, animations, logos and abstracts. And we also provide you with hundreds of beautiful laser shows absolutely FREE, programmed to today’s most popular music.

QuickShow also features our unique QuickTools, which allow you to create custom content (such as laser beam effects, text, graphics, laser logos, and complete timeline-based laser shows), in just seconds.

The software is also compatible with DMX and MIDI for further flexibility. And we have a custom profile available for the popular APC MINI console, that allows you to perform amazing live laser shows faster and easier than ever before. QuickShow also has automatic BPM sync tools and a plugin for the Virtual DJ software, allowing you to easily synchronize lasers and audio in a convenient and easy manner.

And, for the ultimate in customization, use our 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 multiple laser projectors.

For an instant show, just trigger pre-defined cue frames

Let’s say you want to display a preset psychedelic laser design. The software’s user interface is conveniently laid out, so you can easily find any laser beam effect, graphic, logo or laser animation you desire. Just trigger the desired cue (from your PC or console), and it automatically displays in laser.
As you move over the cues, the designs are animated on your screen. This lets you preview how they’ll look on the laser projector. To display the cue you want, simply click the mouse, or press the keyboard key that’s in the upper left corner. Instantly, the selected cue is displayed. It couldn’t be easier!
Create Custom Content

The next level is to make your own custom cues. This can be done for any type of laser effect you can imagine (beams, graphics, logos, text, abstracts and more). Using beams effects (as an example), the QuickShape tool lets you adjust the most important parameters of this content such as size, points color, and speed.
