Advanced Laser Design has been producing custom laser solutions for high profile and one-of-a-kind installations for some years now. We have taken this multi-disciplinary approach and integrated it into developing a line of lasers specifically designed with the entertainment field in mind. Our first laser is a compact, very convenient, air-cooled, 532nm laser for beam effects. Lasers currently being developed include all solid-state high power white light systems for scanning and beams and very high power YAG lasers for beam effects. These are due to be introduced in the near future. If you have demanding requirements, and are looking for the best value for your money, without sacrificing convenience or power, give us a call.

Cambridge Technology offers the most extensive line of closed loop galvanometer based optical scanners commercially available today! Whatever your application, Cambridge Technology has several price/performance options available to you. Our diversity of product and performance has enabled Cambridge Technology to become a recognised technology leader in laser show scanning systems.
Cambridge debuted their new 6210 scanners which are much smaller than the popular 6800HP scanners, and are said to be significantly faster. Cambridge has not issued an official speed as of this report but New Method Lasers had promised a demonstration of the scanners running at 60K!

Laser F/X was showing copies of the ever-popular "Laser F/X: The Light Show Handbook" at their table.

Laser Illusions introduces the "X-29 Turbo" board which decodes all colours and allows X-29 to meet ILDA standards for graphics output. This low-cost board is a must for X-29 and Full-Auto users as it allows for output of all the colours supported by the software and brings the NML system into compliance with the ILDA standard DB25 balanced line pin-out. It also opto-isolates the 8 TTL output lines and level shifts them to user selectable +5V or +10V output

Laser Power Microlasers, a division of Laser Power Corporation, designs and manufactures high-power, visible and infrared diode-pumped solid-state laser systems. Laser Power's miniaturised solid-state microlasers offer significant advantages over conventional solid-state and gas lasers due to their small size, longer life, and greater energy efficiency.

Dean had red, green and blue microlaser models on display at the booth. All are air-cooled and operate from a 110Vac wall outlet.

MDG offers a range of fog/smoke generators that are ideal for laser applications. Our units can provide an even haze with long "hang time" perfect for laser beams in venues ranging from small rooms and halls to vast stadiums.
Our award-winning Atmosphere unit is ideal for corporate events where unobtrusive and unnoticeable haze is required.

MediaLas is a manufacturer and distributor of professional laser show products. From our award winning 30K Catweazle LC scanners, to our plug & play Catweazle Pro displays, we offer scanning solutions to meet your needs at very reasonable prices. We also supply a full line of DPSS diode lasers, fibre optics components and systems, our CatSafe scan fail detection boards and many other optomechanical components to meet your laser show needs.

The low cost Catweazle LC scanners were demonstrated running at 30K and were installed in the Catweazle Pro display system which includes a 532nm laser and complete drive board with controller that holds frames and animations in memory -- ideal for point of sale and small displays. MediaLas also showed a DMX-controlled bounce mirror and the CatSafe scan fail detection system.

Manufacturer and wholesale distributor of laser light show equipment. Products include beamtable components, Full-Auto and X29 laser controllers, new and used laser systems, Cambridge scanners and NEOS PCAOMs.

Sherry (the model who appears in many NML ads) was in the booth to talk to laserists and demonstrate the Full-Auto software. New this year was the LCN system which offers high speed all vector frames for a quality output and many special features. Also on display was Full-Auto lite, a low cost system offering all the real time image selection and control features of the full package but without the auto-trace and some of the other image drawing features. This system is ideal for clubs and discos where a full featured playback package is required.

Pangolin makes the world's most popular laser show software for professional use, Lasershow Designer for Windows. LD has won more industry awards (ILDA and Laser FX/Brewster), and is used to create more award-winning shows (1997-1998) than any other laser show software. LD is powerful yet easy to use, making it the best value in laser show software. New for 1999 is the Lasershow Performer console, a lighted control desk making it easier to perform live shows. Pangolin also sells CADA-MOD boards, the only way to modify Alesis ADAT digital tape recorders so they can be used to record laser light show and DMX control signals.

On display was Pangolin's modification to CTI 6800 scanners, running at an ILDA 50K speed. Pangolin also showed the Lasershow Performer console and the new C10 geometric and colour correction with built-in test patterns.

Ron Matthews Specialised Machining Ltd. (Canada) is an Ontario Corporation providing laser light system platforms, and modular, interchangeable opto-mechanical components and assemblies to the laser show industry. Utilising the substantial manufacturing, design and engineering expertise of Ron Matthews, the company has carried out prototype and custom product development and consulting, to the laser, scientific and research community, for the past 16 years.

Lazerus' showed their OptiKlenz kit which contains a complete range of cleaning materials for laser maintenance and a new OptiAid kit. The OptiAid is a small version with basic cleaning supplies designed to be put in a toolbox or in the laser case for on-site laser and projector optics cleaning.
The Anarchy 3D frame editor and TrueType text converter was also on display in the booth
