Introduction 

 

Dear customer, 

thank you for choosing the Laserlink lasercontroller, which links lighting operators with showlasers in 
real time.  

The Laserlink is the 2

nd

 Generation of the former successful Lightline DMX-Box. 

Main feature is to operate a lasersystem easy as a lighting fixture from any lighting console. 

For that DMX, ARTNET

1

 and RDM can be used. 

Hence, the laserlink has up to 2 individual ILDA outputs being able to supply 2 independent scanning 
systems with 16-bit XY-Scanning and 16-bit RGBO data as a standalone unit or can be mounted 
directly into a lasersystem. 

For automatic effects like rotations, all systems are synchronized by DMX protocol. 

Another main feature is the possibility of using Syncronorm Depence2 WYSIWYG visualization. It is 
fully integrated into the software without need of hardware. 

As the standalone unit it is very small size and is very easy to integrate into your stage setup as there 
is a mount for TV-Bolt or clamp and safety eye bolt. 

Please, read the following safety notes carefully, especially before you connect the device to a laser 
projector rated more than class 1.
