| Title: |
Method and Apparatus for Generating a Flash or Series of Flashes from a Multiparameter Light |
| Abstract: |
A multiparameter light is a type of theater light that includes an arc lamp
and a shutter in combination with one or more optical components for
creating various lighting effects, suitable electrical and mechanical
actuating components, and suitable power supplies. The arc lamp power
supply has a variable power output for generating flashes from the arc
lamp and for maintaining the arc lamp in an operation condition during
dark intervals between the flashes. Flashes may be generated in a series
to realize a stroboscopic effect or a lightning effect. The shutter may be
used collaboratively with the flashing of the arc lamp to optimize flash
characteristics and increase effect options beyond those obtainable from
flash or shutter individually. The generation of flashes and operation of
the shutter are controlled by a control system in the multiparameter
light.
