| Title: |
Digital Lighting Control System |
| Abstract: |
A digital lighting control system for controlling a plurality of lighting
elements is provided, including a PC, a signal control unit, a signal
conversion unit, and a signal dispatching unit. The signal control unit
has a video signal input decoder for receiving video signal input and a
PC display interface for connecting to the PC. The PC can control the
lighting elements through the addresses of the lighting elements stored
in the signal control unit. The signal conversion unit is connected to
the signal control unit to receive control signals. The received control
data is converted into data including addressing and control codes of the
lighting elements. The signal dispatching unit is connected to the signal
conversion unit for receiving converted addressing and control codes of
the lighting elements. The signal dispatching unit dispatches the address
and control code to lighting elements, which are connected to the signal
dispatching unit. In addition, a plurality of signal control units can be
serially connected to a PC, a plurality of signal conversion units can be
serially connected to a signal control unit, and a plurality of signal
dispatching units can be serially connected to a signal conversion unit.
Therefore, a large area or various combinations of lighting elements can
be controlled by the digital lighting control system.
