Hi.

I am a BEYOND user. There is no problem connecting BEYOND and capture.

I want to visualize multiple lasers
I don't know the setting.

BEYOND controls multiple lasers individually with a fixture number.

There is a setting item that matches this number.

Is there such a parameter?

All the Best.

oku.

We have a setting called "number of projectors" which by default is 10. This means you can receive this number of projects from beyond while you can assign the same feed to multiple lasers inside Capture. It is not clear from your post if you managed to connect Capture and Beyond in the first place though. Either way i hope your question is now answered.

I have got Beyond Ultimate (with three Lasers) and tried to connect it to Capture 2021 (Demo).

I told Beyond to use Visualisation and did the Settings in the projection Zones but nothing is possible to Choose in Capture. The Media in Selected Objects just don't let me choose any input.

So I still need another registration file to get it working together?

You need a special version of your Beyond Ultimate license that will allow output to Capture. This is generated after you request it manually to Pangolin.

We are informed that this will change at some point in the future but if it has not changed yet then you just need to contact them and they will assist you.

Yes, that worked fine. As I sent the old License File to them they returned it to me and now the field 'visualization' in the Settings Area ist not grey anymore to be sure that it works now. Pangolin did sent the new file to me within one day.

And Capture shows now the Pangolin Input at 'Media'.

Thanks for taking the time and reporting the current status and the always swift response by Pangolin staff. This is encrouraging for other users that might find themselves in the same situation.

As a sidenote I have been reassured the process will be simplified in the future once they address all security concerns.

Now I have a Problem seeing Beyond Lasers in Capture 2021.1.13 again.

Wether I take the Demo Version or my Solo Edition - Only one Laser is shown in Media.

Pangolin is configured to give Laser Output to Visualizers and each of the five Zones (and Lasers) have a different Fixture Number.
And Capture is configured to show the Input of 10 Lasers.

And what is wondering me a lot is, that it is different on diferrent Computers!

One is showing all the lasers, but lets me choose only the same one on all lasers after I have choosed one, on my Laptop with running Beyond, everything is ok and on one PC there is only one Projector to see on Media and so I can only choose one Media for all of the Projectors.

My Network runs under 5GHz Wifi - might that be a reason?

If on some computers it works and on some it does then I guess the only thing changing is the network setup in each computer or connected network hardware.
