| To create Flashback 3
laser images, use
Lasershow Designer 2000,
or any system that creates ILDA-format laser files. Set up to 432 cues;
each cue can be a word, logo, graphic, animation, beam effect or even a
complete show.
The images and cue data are then stored on a
"SmartMedia"
memory card. A 128MB card holds up to 20 minutes of laser graphics,
animations and beams. Because it is solid-state, there are no moving
parts, nothing to break down.
Playing the shows
For playback, use
DMX or the
included Utility program to select and run your cues, as well as control
important projector parameters:

Rotation angle
Playback speed

For special applications, ILP can provide
additional functionality either through client-specific firmware or even
custom-designed add-on daughter-boards.
High-quality images
Flashback 3 laser images look the same as if
projected from other ILP systems, because Flashback 3 outputs
high-quality projector signals: two 12-bit channels for X and Y scanner
signals, and four 8-bit color/intensity channels, typically used to
control red, green, blue and intensity signals.
Small size and low power requirements
The Flashback 3 is very small -- the same
rectangular size as a credit card. And the Flashback 3 only requires a
single +5V power supply and consumes only 100-300mA of current. Because
of this, the Flashback 3 is easily integrated into ILP laser projectors.
