| Title: |
Stage Lighting Control Console Including Assignable Macro Functions |
| Abstract: |
A control console for controlling stage lighting includes a panel on which
there are mounted a multiplicity of control elements in the form of
switches, slider potentiometers and others which can be used by an
operator to input control data to the console and directly control remote
lamp units connected to the console. The console includes a main cpu which
forms part of an electronic control system which includes function
allocation means enabling the operator to determine which one of the
control elements exercises control over a particular independently
controllable function of one or more of the lamps. The console also
includes a data distribution unit which includes a plurality of separate
serial communication controllers for communicating with respective ones of
the lamps. An SCSI bus is used for transferring data between the main cpu
and the distribution unit, which includes its own processor unit for
distributing the data to the serial communication controllers.
