-EYOND takes the incoming frame, calculates the effect for the 1st zone, saves the result, takes the original frame, applies the effect with time shift, saves for the second zone, takes the original frame, calculates the effect with double the shift value, saves to third zone and so on... The important consequence - at the time the laser content is incoming, we have one frame that is routed to multiple zones, and once outputted - multiple frames being routed to one (corresponding) zone. +BEYOND takes the incoming frame, calculates the effect for the 1st zone, saves the result, takes the original frame, applies the effect with time shift, saves for the second zone, takes the original frame, calculates the effect with double the shift value, saves to third zone and so on...

 Please note, Multi zone time shift can only be applied once, and instead of one frame we have many frames at the output point as it is too late to do at the Projection Zone level.  Please note, Multi zone time shift can only be applied once, and instead of one frame we have many frames at the output point as it is too late to do at the Projection Zone level.
