X-Laser Unveils “Project Mercury” at LDI

X-laser has completed “Project Mercury” and the final product was released at LDI 2017. The company has revealed that “Project Mercury” signifies X-Laser’s proprietary system for controlling laser projectors directly from a lighting console.

“X-Laser has always been about one thing: bringing lasers to as many people as possible,” Adam Raugh, X-Laser’s President, said. “Using input from our clients, we’ve worked since 2015 to solve a core problem within the lighting industry that lasers are difficult to integrate into lighting rigs. With Mercury, lighting designers can program a laser projector just like they would program any other moving-head fixture.”

Mercury-equipped laser fixtures can be discovered, profiled, configured and programmed directly from the lighting console. By leveraging the powerful tools already built into today’s lighting desks, LDs can control an array of lasers just like how they’d control an array of moving-head fixtures. For maximum functionality and compatibility, Mercury features DMX+RDM and Art-Net protocols, and will feature sACN (E1.31/E1.33) in the future.
