Getting started
When using FB4 for the first time. Take the following steps:
1. Make sure the included microSD card is properly inserted in the microSD slot
2. Connect an ethernet cable between the network port on FB4 and your
computer
3. Turn on the power to FB4
4. Wait until FB4 has acquired an IP address. The yellow LED should blink once a
second. (See the section “Status LEDs” for more information)
5. Start Pangolin Laser Show Designer Quickshow or Beyond on your computer

Operation modes
Beyond/QS
In Beyond/QS mode, FB4 connects to Pangolin Quickshow or Beyond software via an
ethernet network.
Geometric correction is being handled by the control software and native geometric
correction on FB4 is turned off to avoid conflicts.
ILDA Input
In ILDA input mode, the signals from the ILDA input connector on the FB4-ILDA
daughterboard are transmitted to the color and axis output connectors on FB4.
In this mode, native geometric correction on FB4 is turned off.
This operation mode is not available when there is no FB4-ILDA daughterboard connected.
DMX-512
In DMX-512 mode, FB4 is being controlled through the DMX input port on the FB4-DMX
daughterboard. The content is stored on the SD card and FB4 can apply multiple effects to
them.
In this mode, geometric correction can be applied natively on FB4.
This operation mode is not available when there is no FB4-DMX daughterboard connected.
ArtNET
In ArtNET mode, FB4 is being controlled with an ArtNET signal via the ethernet port on FB4.
The content is stored on the SD card and FB4 can apply multiple effects to them.
In this mode, geometric correction can be applied natively on FB4.
Autoplay
In autoplay mode, FB4 can be configured to play laser content from the SD card without any
external input. FB4 can be programmed to play single cues or entire playlists of cues
immediately after power-up or at specific times.
In this mode, geometric correction can be applied natively on FB4.
Time Code
In time code mode, FB4 plays content from the SD card in sync with an external timecode
source. FB4 can receive ArtNET timecode via the ethernet connector.
In this mode, geometric correction can be applied natively on FB4.
Slave Mode
In slave mode, FB4 plays content from the SD card in sync with a “Master” FB4 which is
working in autoplay mode. The ethernet network is being used to synchronize the FB4s.
In this mode, geometric correction can be applied natively on FB4.
Test mode
Test mode can be used to play test patterns from the SD card for the purpose of testing your
laser or adjusting FB4’s internal parameters or geometric correction.

User interface
To modify settings and change operating modes, the control knob can be used in
conjunction with the OLED display.
Activating the display
Press the knob once to activate the display.

Changing operation mode
In this example, we will demonstrate how to change the operation mode from Beyond to
ILDA input. The menu item “ILDA Input” may not be present on your FB4 is there is no
“FB4-ILDA” daughterboard connected.
After activating the display, turn the knob until the arrow points at the menu item “Operation
Mode”.
Click the knob once to expand the menu item
Turn the knob until the arrow is pointing at the desired operating mode (ILDA Input)
Push the button once. The new operation mode (ILDA input) is now active.
