Claims14
A stage lighting console, comprising:
- a console device, having a processor;
- a storage part that stores a program that controls at least one stage device to move said stage device, wherein executing said program on said processor of said console device produces effects on said stage device and allows controlling the movement of said at least one stage device,
- said console also producing a wireless output based on said executing said program, said wireless output commanding different effects at different times, a first part of said wireless output being directed to said at least one stage device, and a second part of said wireless output being directed to at least one hand held communication device.
A stage lighting console, comprising:
- a console device, having a processor;
- said console device operating to control at a storage part that stores a program that controls at least one stage device to control said stage device, wherein executing said program on said processor of said console device produces effects on said stage device and allows controlling the movement of said at least one stage device,
- said console also producing a wireless output based on said executing said program, said wireless output being directed to at least one hand held communication device that is different than said stage device.
A stage lighting device, comprising:
- a mounting part, allowing mounting a light to a mounting part;
- a controllable motor, that allows moving a direction of pointing of the light in at least pan and tilt directions;
- a light source, producing an output of at least 100 W;
- and
- a controller, that controls at least said movement in said pan and tilt directions, and controls said light source, wherein said controller includes a wireless network interface device, which receives commands over a wireless network, and compares each said command with a command verification also received over the wireless network, and controls said movement and/or said light source based on said command from the wireless network only if said commands matches in a specified way with said command verification.
