Many high-profile show designing companies have relied on Laseranimation's Lasergraph DSP for many years: The Lasergraph DSP controllers provide extreme output performance, as they are small computers on their own which handle the whole output processing in a decentralized way. This means, that there is only a small programme necessary to remotely access the de-central units over LAN - the actual programming as well as the output calculation is done in the Lasergraph DSP controllers.
It is possible to connect a multitude of DSP units via LAN and run them in one huge network - this is how huge shows can be controlled. Synchronizations with other media can easily be done over SMPTE timecode and the whole setup can be remote controlled over DMX or MIDI. DMX remote control is heavily used for high professional live performances with Lasergraph DSPs: The whole laser setup can be controlled through, for example, a grandMA or Avolites console - which allows for "awesome effects and transitions", as faders and effects generators can be used.
The Laseranimation Lasergraph DSP is available as a 19" rack mount unit and as travel version, both housing types are available as single or dual channel configuration.
