Thank you for purchasing your Kvant laser projector, In this video we will do our best
to get you up and running for auto mode with your new projector as fast as possible.
First open the case and pull the projector out.
Next remove all the cables and accessories.
You should have the projector, Trucon Power cable, Ethernet cable, 3 Pin XLR Cable, Estop
Button, Keys and the User interlock.
Start by using the 3 Pin XLR cable to connect into the Remote input on the laser projector,
then plug the other end into the Estop Button.
Grab the users interlock from the bag and plug that into the estop button as well.
From there grab the keys from the bag, putting one in the estop and one in the laser projector.
Next we will take the Trucon power cable and plug it into the projector, and plug the other
end into the mains.
Lastly we will pull up on the estop button to reveal the yellow stripe, and press the
start button until both LEDS turn on.
This will turn similar LEDs on, on the backside of the projector.
To be sure everything is set up correctly you should see the following LEDs, Power,
Start, and the FB4 controller should have the green LED static on.
Your projector is now powered and ready for control signal.
On all Kvant laser projectors you can daisy chain the Estop, and the ethernet cable, and
on lower power projectors you can also daisy chain the power
To control your laser from a PC using Quickshow, also known as streaming mode, go to https://pangolin.com/pages/downloads
and download "QuickShow Full Version".
Once downloaded, run the installer and follow the install wizard to install.
While that is installing, grab the included Ethernet cable and plug it into your PC directly,
or through a switch into the back of the projector.
Also on the back of your laser is your FB4 control hardware, press down on the dial to
light up the display.
We will want to ensure the following: First under operational mode, make sure, BEYOND/QS
is checked.
Then under network setup, we will make sure "Auto Ip" is checked.
Lastly under scan guard, we will make sure scanguard is disabled.
Once Quickshow has finished installing go ahead and run the software.
Since hardware is connected to the PC, Quickshow will open.
QuickShow the first time you open it will go through a first time setup wizard.
Feel free to click whichever type of user you are, Beginner is a good place to start
if you are new, you can always change it later.
Next select high performance scanners, all kvant laser systems are high performance in
this case.
Then select, Three-Laser RGB projector.
And lastly, click "analogue color system".
Now that we have setup and established connection with Quickshow, you can create your content
you intend to upload.
As there is many ways you can create content, for different needs, we suggest you watch
many of our tutorial videos on content creation on youtube to help you create exactly what
you need, and instead we will focus on how to actually get content on your projector
to automatically play.
Now lets say we have a logo projection, and this is our logo here.
Lets schedule this to run at 8PM to 12PM every night.
With our projector installed, we will connect Quickshow and create a zone for where our
projection will go, we will just call this logo, set this zone up in real life for where
you want it to go.
Then we will go to the logo in the workspace we created, and assign that logo to that logo
zone, if we play that cue from this pc, it should look exactly how you want it to look
once its installed and running automatically.
Now lets export, go to file, FB4 Export, and for this application we will go to Auto, Daily
schedule.
Other options export very similarly with just a few different options.
Now we can drag that logo we created to the right, and assign a start time of 20 hours,
0 minutes 0 secconds, and run it until 0 hours 0 minutes and 0 secconds.
Click export, and save to a file.
Follow the wizard.
Click "apply color, size, geometric correction, and BAM, this will copy that zone setup we
did a moment ago to the projector.
Then we will click "content intended to be used on specific projectors".
And select the connected FB4, click next.
And select export to connected FB4.
Then we can choose where we will export locally, and then upload to folder 1, click next.
This renders the cues and uploads to the projector.
Finally lets do a couple last things to the projector itself.
Go to file, FB4 Settings, and this will open a digital terminal for your FB4, first we
will set it to Auto Play Mode.
Then on the right scroll down to autoplay mode settings, this should be selected onto
List and loop, List number being the one we exported to before, folder 1.
Below that you should set the clock time, you can set it or sync it to the connected
PC, note for the FB4 to maintain time even when powered off the FB4 has to have a battery
installed, if it does it will let you know here.
Then you can disconnect your PC from the projector, and it will follow the schedule we uploaded.
We hope you have great experience using your new Kvant projector in auto mode, if you still

you as soon as possible.
