Abstract
A control of gobos defend by records in the gobo. The gobos are formed by menued shapes.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- defining a gobo as an image as a bit based form that includes digital bits indicative of primary colors making up different parts of the image, where said gobo includes a shaped outer part having a shape which is other than a circle, and an outer perimeter of the image has the shape other than the circle;
- translating the image from said bit based form into a YC form that has chrominance and luminance values indicative of said image including said primary colors making up the different parts of the image and that correspond to said digital bits;
- dimming the image by reducing the luminance values in said YC form by multiplying each of a plurality of luminance values in said YC form by a multiplication value, while maintaining constant chrominance values in said YC form;
- and
- reconverting the chrominance and luminance back into a new bit based form that includes digital bits indicative of primary colors making up different parts of the image in a dimmed form.
2 more elements
A controller system for a lighting device, comprising:
- a user interface;
- a gobo selection device which allows selecting one of a plurality of different gobos, wherein said gobos are self animating gobos that self animated to change at different times, to produce an output signal indicative of said animated gobos, wherein said self animating gobos include a gobo definition that loads and executes computer code with variables to form and display an animation defining the gobo, where said gobo definition includes an area to hold variables associated with the gobo, and where the gobo is changed at different times as the animating by modifying values of the variables.
A controller system for a lighting device, comprising:
- a user interface that controls separately selecting a first portion of a gobo and a second portion of the gobo;
- and
- a gobo production device, which takes a combination of said first and second portions, and defines a gobo from said combination of said first and second portions, wherein said gobo defines an outer perimeter of a projected light beam.
A controller system for a lighting device, comprising:
- a user interface that controls separately selecting a first portion of a gobo and a second portion of the gobo;
- and
- a gobo production device, which takes a combination of said first and second portions, where said combination is a combination that is not a logical “and” between said first and second portions, and defines a gobo from said combination of said first and second portions, wherein said gobo defines an outer perimeter of a projected light beam.
