| Title: |
Lighting Communication Architecture |
| Abstract: |
An improved lighting control architecture provides many different kinds of
controlling options. A single channel per line communication is described.
This can be used to form single channel DMX to communicate with DMX format
luminaires, while still using only one communication per line. The
controlling console has only a single connector that outputs information
for all luminaires. This is connected to a distribution rack, which itself
includes plural connectors but spaced from the console. The multiple
connectors can represent communications in many different formats
including format of one lamp per line, or time division multiplexed
formats of many lamps per line.
