A light system interface for controlling an arena light system, the light system interface comprising: an input configured to receive a first protocol message, the first protocol message being configured to define at least one control parameter associated with an emulated light source, the at least one control parameter designed to produce an emulated visual effect when performed on the emulated light source; a protocol message generator configured to generate at least one second protocol message based on the first protocol message and a mapping between the emulated light source and at least two arena light system light sources including knowledge on the arena light system light sources with respect to location and direction, the at least one second protocol message being configured to define control parameters associated with the arena light system light sources; and an output configured to output the second protocol message to the network of arena light system light sources, such that the control parameters associated with the arena light system light sources are configured to enable the performance by the network of arena light system light sources of the emulated visual effect.
