| Title: |
Method for Operating a Lighting Control Console and Lighting Control Console |
| Abstract: |
A method for operating a lighting control console for controlling a
lighting system includes generating digital adjustment commands in the
lighting control console. The digital adjustment commands are
transmittable via data connections to lighting devices of the lighting
system. The lighting control console includes at least one digital
processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and
storing the adjustment commands. The lighting control console further
includes at least one display unit, and wherein graphical elements can be
displayed graphically for the operator on the display unit. The display
unit includes a touch-sensitive sensor surface, wherein touching the
touch-sensitive sensor surface in the area of a contact surface on the
display unit enables an operator input associated with each of these
contact surfaces to be selected. Detection of contact with the
touch-sensitive sensor surface in the area of a first contact surface
associates a first operator input with the first contact surface.
Detection of simultaneous touching of the touch-sensitive sensor surface
in the area of at least a second contact surface associates a second
operator input with the second contact surface. The first and second
operator inputs are then processed further.
