Ideal For
Custom Laser Production
Our laser shows are fully custom-programmed to your event's music, timing, and creative vision. We handle all pre-visualization and programming in advance, with live operation on event day. Beatrox is experienced in integrating laser with LED video walls, projection mapping, and drone light shows for unified multi-system spectacles.
Safety & Compliance
Safety is non-negotiable in laser production. Beatrox operates in full compliance with ANSI Z136 standards for safe laser use. We handle variance permitting through the FDA/CDRH, coordinate with local authorities for outdoor shows, and provide certified laser safety officers on every production. All beam paths are calculated to audience-safe zones, and atmospheric monitoring ensures safe operation even in variable conditions.
Music Sync Options
Beatrox laser shows can be programmed to any audio source — from prerecorded tracks with frame-accurate BPM timing to live, improvised performance. Our programmers build cues locked to beat grids for seamless sync with DJ sets and live bands. For live shows, our operators can improvise in real time, following the energy of the room and the artist's performance. We also integrate with timecode, MIDI, and Ableton Link for synchronized multi-system shows.
