| Title: |
System and Method for Real Time Effects Automation |
| Abstract: |
An effects automation system for generating control data for the control
of effects devices, based on the relative position of a mobile target.
The system uses stationary receivers and stationary transmitter tags
coupled to the stationary receivers and a mobile transmitter tag coupled
to the mobile target. The stationary receivers receive signals received
from the stationary and mobile transmitter tags and then send data based
on these signals to a processing hub. The processing hub uses this data
to determine the relative distance between the stationary receivers and
the relative distance between the mobile target and the stationary
receivers. Based on these relative distances, relative position values
for the effect devices are calculated by calculating the proportion of
the distance between the stationary receivers associated with the
position of the mobile target. Finally, the relative position values are
utilized to generate the control data for control of the effects devices.
