MadMapper has released its MadLaser extension for the support of lasers with video mapping and volumetric projects.

MadLaser can be feeded with video content of any kind and it automatically converts this video content to laser output on the fly. This approach of using lasers in multimedia applications is fresh, according to the company: MadLaser does not rely on the classic laser software concept of handling all content as vectors while programming but leaves the laser specific content treatment to the software for most of the part. This makes it super easy for video artists to integrate lasers to their projects, as they do not have to deal with too much laser specific things but can focus on their creative work and rely on known video content handling.

Using a laser system with a ShowNET laser mainboard is a huge advantage for any artist using MadLaser: These laser systems have all the required hardware built-in and can directly be connected to the computer via LAN cable. And several lasers can simply be linked via standard network switch.

Besides the option for direct output it is also possible to create files in the ILDA file format and store those inside the laser on the memory card of the ShowNET to let the lasers either run automatically, triggered by DMX or ArtNET or master-slave – depending on the demand of the project.

MadMapper with their MadLaser and the ShowNET equipped laser systems are a perfect match, as they are less wiring and hardware on site as with external hardware devices, and it is a very affordable solution, too: no extra hardware is required, so extra licenses need to be bought – it’s just the laser system as it comes as standard.

As a bonus, each laser system equipped with the ShowNET laser mainboard comes with a full license for the powerful Showeditor software, which also allows for direct laser output as well as content creation for the internal memory of the ShowNET – in the classic laser specific way.
