For creating a laser show combined with video, which version of Pangolin Beyond should I choose?

[hrimfaxi09]

Hello, I would like to purchase Pangolin Beyond, but I’m feeling quite confused about the differences between the three versions of Beyond. I’ve been using the demo version for testing, but many of the functions in the demo are locked, which makes it difficult for me to fully evaluate it.


I would really appreciate advice on which version of Pangolin Beyond would be most suitable for my use case.


I’m planning to use Beyond to create a laser show combined with LED screen visuals. The laser beams will follow the music and shoot toward a large LED screen, while the LED screen plays pre-produced videos.


The show will include effects such as:

• Using lasers to “engrave” the client’s company logo onto the LED screen
• Various laser cutting effects synchronized with the music
• LED screen videos that simulate laser cutting effects

My setup will be:

• Avolites Quartz sending Art-Net to a PC
• The PC will run Resolume Arena (for video playback) and Pangolin Beyond at the same time
• The laser machines will use network-enabled Pangolin FB4

I’ve read some cases on the Pangolin forum. If I understand correctly, it seems that I may need the Universe Editing feature in the Advanced version in order to overlay video onto a universe window, and then create the laser programming based on that universe window.


However, since many functions in the demo version are locked, I’m not completely sure which version of Beyond I actually need.


I would really appreciate the recommendation.
Thank you.
