Patent Number: 6029122 
Title: Tempo Synchronization System for a Moving Light Assembly 
Abstract: A time synchronizing unit operates to synchronize lamps with various indicia. Each of these indicia are tied to a system clock. The system clock is normally incremented at specified intervals, e.g., every 4 milliseconds. The system is to be synchronized with a stage lighting production such as a song. If the tempo of the song changes, the amount of time between interrupts changes. Hence the time when things occur will be varied as the system clock changes. This enables varying the time when the things occur without actually changing the program: the time is bent to accommodate the new tempo of the program.
