Here is a list of additions and updates to Pangolin.com, made during 2009. Important or extensive changes are listed in boldface.

 

 


December 2009

  • Announcing Holiday Special Pricing, valid throughout the month of December and until January 10, 2009. Don't miss your chance to upgrade your LD2000 system or to get LivePRO and Interactive Messaging Unlimited at a great holiday price!
     

  • Highlighting a combination laser and light show done with a Christmas theme... done using LD2000 Intro by Ron Aderholdt -- a very clever Pangolin client!
    You can see the QuickTime video below, or see the YouTube video here. And you can see the "behind the scenes" YouTube video here. (To see the video below, click the right-pointing PLAY button to see the video. You must have QuickTime installed to see the video)

August 2009

  • Added information about a program called Fireworks 2000. This is a program written by Mike North using the LD2000 SDK. It creates fireworks animations, either in real time, or as a series of LD2000 frames.

  • Updated the Pangolin LaserChat Forum. We are also in the process of updating our server with more storage space and faster download speeds. Please let us know if you see anything that doesn't work correctly...

  • LASORB written up by Laser Focus World!

    LASORB, a new component Pangolin developed to protect laser diodes from ESD and power surges, was written up this week by Laser Focus World. Click here to see the story.

    We believe LASORB is a pretty significant development with respect to improving the reliability and longevity of products using laser diodes. Given the coverage it's received from Laser Focus World, it would seem they agree. If you think this information could be of interest or value to colleagues (or vendors) involved in the design of laser products, we hope you'll forward the link to them.

 

 


July 2009

  • The long-awaited LD2000 version 5.0 web-update is finally here! It can be downloaded from our Updates page.
         Note that only the executable programs are included in this update. Frames and Shows are not included as part of the update due to size constraints. (The complete LD2000 version 5.00 installation is well over 2GB!) If you are interested in having the latest frames and shows, we recommend you purchase an Installation DVD set

  • The 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 launch and landing on the moon. Click here to see a web page about the role of William R. Benner, Sr. in this historic mission.

  • A LivePRO training DVD is available from Laser Insanity Productions. The cost is a very reasonable £75. 

 

 


June 2009

  • Pangolin sweeps the ILDA Awards again! This year more than half of the ILDA Awards for Artistic Achievement were given to Pangolin users. Pangolin users did well in all categories but were particularly strong in Beams/Atmospherics, Graphics show, and Live Stage Performance. In the Beams and Atmospherics category, Pangolin users won three-out-of-four awards and in the Live Stage Performance category, Pangolin users won four-out-of-five awards. Congratulations to everyone who won an ILDA Award this year.

  • Updated the Award-winning products web page to include the information mentioned above and also to reflect the fact that LASORB has won an ILDA Technical Achievement Award for 2009. We are very pleased with this award since there were 14 technical entries for the ILDA Awards this year. LASORB won a Technical Achievement Award even though it isn't exclusively a product for entertainment display applications.
