| Title: |
Lighting Control System |
| Abstract: |
A light control system for the control of a plurality of lights in a
pre-programmed lighting sequence. The system is comprised of a keyboard
module and one or more controller modules. Each controller module contains
16 manually operated light controllers and a semiconductor memory capable
of storing 16 individual settings for each of the 16 light controllers.
The keyboard has 16 pushbuttons through which any of the 16 lighting
combinations may be put into memory or selected out of memory for control
of the lights. First and second registers are provided for retaining any
pair of lighting combinations, with a cross fade control on the keyboard
being adapted to provide a smooth transition from one of such lighting
combinations to the other combination. An automatic sequencing selection
is provided whereby each of the 16 lighting combinations will be
automatically selected in sequence through the use of the cross fade
control. Other features of the system include the ability to program one
lighting combination while playing another lighting combination, to have
one or more light controls under manual control while the rest are under
control by the memory, and a means for displaying on a meter any stored
light control setting.
