Quickshow above 30Kpps?

[Doctorbass]

Is it just possible to remove the limit of the 30kpps of the quickshow software?
I have paid 150$ more to get the DT40 instead of the DT30 and i would like to have that extra 10kpps.
Damn! why is my 550$ software limited to 30kpps

Is it software limited or hardware limitation due to the FB3 ?

I want that ILDA blue circle to go INSIDE that square!

Thanks in advance!

Don't worry,

the DT40 are just ok to works at "30kpps" at a large scale.

I usually set the speed of Quickshow at 22-23kpps for the DT30 scanners (size = 100%). At a higher speed, the beams are not good .

Ok... thanks for the comments,

any solution..?

my guess is the 30k limit is hardcoded because of either:

1) the hardware won't support it
2) pangolin doesn't want their hobby software to compete with their more expensive products

The solution is called Beyond

The solution is called Beyond

or LSX and an etherdream DAC

I've had a conversation with Bill about scan angles within the last 24 hours.

The most likely cause is the scan angle at 100% setting - remember its 100% of what your scanners can deliver in total travel. The angle delivered at 100% depends on what limit, if any, your scanners are set to in their hardware board, angle wise, at 100% travel. Even if the angle at 100% size is within the scanners ultimate limits, it then depends if they can deliver the speed set at that angle with the cue used (eg the ILDA pattern tests most scanners to their limits at 30K and just 8 degrees, yet the same scanners can deliver a less demanding cue at 30k and much greater angle).

The answer is probably to set a smaller projection size setting (thereby reducing the angle) or reduce the scan speed as you have done.

my guess is the 30k limit is hardcoded because of either:

1) the hardware won't support it
2) pangolin doesn't want their hobby software to compete with their more expensive products

I agree Dave. QS does have limitations and from my conversations with Pangolin, it appears many of those are deliberate.

I understand QS was designed primarily as a powerful hobbyist software with the idea that those seeking the ultimate limitless performance, will purchase Beyond. If QS delivered as much as Beyond then no-one would need Beyond. As it stands, the two no longer even compare for features.

I don,t agree, Quick show is designed for the chinese market. People intend to stay with a certain brand of software once they know how to work with it. Because everyone can afford a chinese crap projector (there are a few good ones though ) Pangolin creates also a bigger market for selling beyond and other software,
The hobbyist market is just a drop in a lake so to speak. The main goal of every bussiness is to find new customers and so when people start working with quickshow the step is relatively small to other software from pangolin. Hobbyists are just being used as betatesters for getting rid of bug and save a huge amount of money on software engineers to find those bugs. Also when you give away free software you also bond those guys that start as a hobbyist and then become professional. Win- win-win situation for pangolin if you ask me. Funny that people here on PL think its all about helping hobbyist etc. Its just plain bussiness simple as that, Not bad but lets keep things real

I already asked the question to William Benner,

The FB3 actually support a speed up to 120KPPS with 6 color channel but this device has been limited with Quickshow.


The FB3 with Beyond works till 60KPPS corrected : 120KPPS (not sure, please confirm this)

I think Al has had a conversation with William Benner @ Pangolin recently?
