| Title: |
Computer Controlled Lighting System with Intelligent Data Distrubution Network |
| Abstract: |
A stage lighting system has a plurality of automated lamp units which can
vary the parameters of a light beam for pan, tilt, brightness, intensity
and size. A remote console controller system is connected to each of the
lamp units via an intelligent data link system. Each of the lamp units
includes a microprocessor and a memory. Control programs for driving each
of the lamp parameters are stored in the memory and are executed by the
lamp microprocessor. The console controller system includes a plurality of
controllers, each of which can alternatively or additionally control the
operations of the lighting system. The intelligent data link system
includes a plurality of signal repeaters, each of which includes a
microprocessor and an associated memory for controlling the communication
of data and for cooperating in error detection and correction.
