| Title: |
Method and Device Capable of Unique Pattern Control of Pixel LEDs via Smaller Number of DMX Control Channels |
| Abstract: |
A method of pixel control which reduces the number of DMX control
channels required for generation of artistic pixel patterns displayed on
a large number of pixel LEDs is described. Further described are a set of
control parameters which facilitate the introduction of pixel control and
sophisticated pixel pattern generation without a costly DMX controller
upgrade. Also described is a device for generating lighting effects. The
device may be portable, battery-powered, radio-controlled and small
enough to easily hide in most theatrical and film sets, set pieces,
props, and practicals. The device may be configured to process DMX data
for controlling and generating graphical patterns among pixel LEDs based
on the set of one or more control parameters. The method and device
relocate the processing of the DMX data from the DMX controller to one or
more individual hardware drivers for the pixel LEDS.
