Radiator Laser Synthesizer

User Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Radiator by Neon Captain! Radiator is a powerful and expandable laser
synthesizer capable of creating dynamic abstract and beam patterns. It contains a built-in high-
performance processor which works as a complete stand-alone system and requires no computer or
equipment other than a laser projector or HDMI monitor to operate.
The system is expandable through software updates to add additional content and features. Please
check with Neon Captain for updates. Content you create in the form of presets or ILDA stream
recordings can be backed up to external USB memory. You can store up to 1000 presets in a show and
access them at the touch of a button so you can always have interesting content on-hand or store your
unique discoveries for later use.

Software ver. 1.0 and above - 2020-09-03
