Ayrton’s MagicBurst is a new high-power graphic LED strobe featuring continuous, unlimited rotation on its pan and tilt axis.

The Laserworld Group started distributing Lasergraph DSP in April 2016, making the high-end DSP show control systems more affordable through a new licensing model.

Laserworld notes that the redesign and partial rearrangement of features dramatically improved the look and feel of the software itself.
