+//**BEYOND 6 will no longer support QM2000. If you want to keep using QM2000, you need to stay on version 5.**//
 This setting will enable or disable the use of a QM2000. This is required when a PC has the LD2000 software installed, but no QM2000 hardware actually exists. **//HINT: You can enable or disable the start of QM000 controllers, during the startup of BEYOND. Right after BEYOND starts, hold the CTRL key. This will show the Welcome dialog option for the QM2000.//**

 However, if BEYOND crashes, those messages will be lost. So, your alternative solution is to save each message to a file. This is not as fast, but it is (in some ways) more reliable.
-If you know how to reproduce an issue or problem that you’ve encountered, saving to a file is a good option. To do this - enable intensive mode, restart BEYOND, reproduce the problem, and send the log report to Pangolin.

 **Reflection power (%)** - During reflection, motion speed can be decreased, and reflection power can control this decrease of speed.
-**Preserve brightness in Color slider processing** - The color slider in LC originally was made to work as a recoloring device, without preserving the brightness level. Using this option, BEYOND will keep the brightness level of the original frame’s points.

 **Show R-G-B-A panel** - Shows the RGBA panel in the Live Control tab. The RGBA panel provides a bit more control than the Color slider. However, this panel takes more space because, and it is hidden by default.
 **Default time accumulation mode** - Here you have four options - “Master - Use own FX time”, “Cue - Use own FX time”, “Zone - Use own FX time” and “ProTrack - Use own FX time”... Each defines a default state for the Time Control model. We recommend that you do not use “own time” by default. “Own time“ accumulation can inject possible accumulation errors and this may lead to desynchronization of your show. “Own time” is only required for independent speed control. BEYOND uses a dynamic method, and can enable “own time” automatically after changing the speed.

 ===== Security =====

 Allow "RunApp" PangoScript command - The RunApp command encapsulates the  ShellExec() functions of the Windows, that can start programs, open documents and in some cases, do dangerous things. For safety reasons this command is disabled. Enable it only if you need to, and make sure you understand all of the risks associated before doing so.
+**Lock Screen** allows users to set the password for the lock screen in BEYOND. You can enable the Lock Screen under the system menu icon:
+{{:beyond:lock_screen_menu_item.jpg?400|}}
+When BEYOND is locked, it will display this overlay and not allow any interaction with BEYOND until the password has been entered:
+{{:beyond:lock_screen_overlay.png?400|}}
+Just enter the password to disable the lock screen. When the password is correctly entered the lock overlay will immediately disappear.
+NOTE: This only locks BEYOND and users will still be able to access the rest of the computer.

 **Enable time smooth filter** - BEYOND uses special filters that compensate various inconsistencies that may appear in timecode. When a filter is disabled, BEYOND will use timecode time “as is”, without any compensation. This may be required when using BEYOND with software made by Synchronorm. //**Note: When a filter is disabled, your laser output may appear distorted or “not smooth”.**//
-**Timecode timeout (seconds)** - Specifies the maximum time that BEYOND will run without timecode. Once this time is reached, BEYOND will stop show playback. //**For more information, see Keep running even though timecode stops. **//
