The "Performer"  is designed to  work with the Lasershow Designer and Lasershow Designer 2000 programs, and is an extension of  the software-only Live and LivePro! embedded controllers.

The LP console is perfect for environment such as discotheques and concerts, or those who prefer playing from a dedicated "desk" rather than a computer keyboard.

The Performer  in tandem  with the latest LIVEPRO 

Control is via nine banks of 48 cue buttons, for a total of 432 cues. The cues themselves are set up in advance using the Live! program. Cues are highly flexible. Each cue can be a frame or animation, still or scrolling text, or any part of a Showtime show. The cues can also  trigger  outputs for control of beams or other external devices.

Rest assured with robust communications

The " Performer " communicates with the LD computer over a serial cable (using the computer's serial port). One of the key advantages of Performer is that commands are extremely robust. There is verification between the Live / LivePro ! programs (on the computer) and the  Console, so you can see that the connection is good.
        Should the serial connection be broken and then re-established, The Performer comes back to life and exactly shows the current state of Live! In fact, if power to Console is turned off, then on, The Performer will reset itself to show the current state of Live / LivePro!
        With Performer, you can rest assured in the minutes before your show that all communications are "go"!

Keep up to date with an LCD display

The "Performer"  shows you a two-line LCD display, with five different modes. These modes give you text or numeric information:

• Current Cue (key number and name)

• Next Cue (key number and name of upcoming cue)

• Elapsed Time (of the currently-playing cue)

• Remaining Time (of the currently-playing cue),

• Parameter Value (shows size, brightness, speed, rotate, color and position).

Play sequences or random

In many situations, you'll directly select the cue you want, by pressing its button. But in some situations, it's handy to have The "Performer"  do the selection for you. There are two auto selection modes, Next and Random:

• Next: Each time the Next button is pressed, the next cue in order is pressed (e.g., cue 1, then cue 2, then cue 3, etc.). This is valid for the current bank only; it will not go into other banks.

• Random: Each time the Random button is pressed, a cue is selected randomly from all cues in the current bank.

Play to beats or from audio

You can sit back and relax with three ways to have The "Performer"  "perform" all by itself!

• Microphone: The "Performer"  includes a built-in microphone that responds to the bass beats of music. Simply put it into the audio mode, then select "Next" or "Random" mode to choose how the console changes new cues on music beats.

• Audio: This works the same as Microphone mode, but using an RCA line-in jack to bypass the internal mic. In noisy environments, this ensures that only the music will trigger a cue.

• Timed: You select Timed mode, tap keys to establish the beat of the music, and then The "Performer"  will continue at that rate.

Designed by laserists, for laserists

The " Performer " was designed with the input and testing of laserists in a variety of situations. This is why we believe The "Performer"  is the most flexible, feature-filled console for laser cue playing. Here are some additional features showing how The "Performer"  is adaptable:

• Two-level brightness: The "Performer"  buttons can be set to bright, for use in discos and other brightly-lit environments, or dim, for use in planetariums and other dark settings.

• Desk or rack mountable: The "Performer"  can be used either on top of a desk, or can be mounted in a standard 19" rack. Every  console ships with a set of "ears" which screw onto the left and right sides, for rack mounting. In its rack configuration it takes up 4 units.

• Button lockout: You can lock and unlock the keys by pressing a special button combination. This will prevent unauthorized users from "messing around" with the console keys.

• Designed for rugged use. The designers at  have many years of experience with disco and nightclub installations. They know the abuse that consoles and controllers take in these toughest-of-all environments, so they made sure the console uses rugged, high-quality, long-lasting components.
