Abstract
A method for creating a display lighting presentation is provided. The method includes providing a light sequence definition graphical user interface configured to enable entry of lighting states associated with a lighting sequence to be included in the display lighting presentation, and receiving input via the light sequence publication user interface, the input specifying lighting states to be included in the display lighting presentation.
Claims13
A method for creation of a display lighting presentation, the method comprising:
- providing a light sequence definition graphical user interface configured to enable entry of lighting states associated with a lighting sequence to be included in the display lighting presentation;
- and
- receiving input via the light sequence definition user interface, the input specifying lighting states to be included in the display lighting presentation, wherein the lighting states are associated with lighting actions, wherein the lighting actions include turning lights on/off, setting light intensity levels, and creating lighting effects, and wherein the lighting effects include causing the lights to vary repeatedly between user defined intensity levels and causing a subset of the lights to repeatedly turn on/off in a predetermined marquee pattern.
A lighting sequence creation system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- instructions stored on a computer-readable media that, when executed, cause the processor to:
- implement a lighting sequence definition module, the lighting sequence definition module including a light sequence definition graphical user interface configured to enable entry of lighting states associated with a lighting sequence to be specified for inclusion in a display lighting presentation;
- and
- compile entries received via the lighting sequence definition module into a compiled light sequence having a format configured to be loaded to and used by a lighting controller to implement the display lighting presentation, wherein the lighting states are associated with lighting actions, wherein the lighting actions include turning lights on/off, setting light intensity levels, and creating lighting effects, and wherein the lighting effects include causing the lights to vary repeatedly between user defined intensity levels and causing a subset of the lights to repeatedly turn on/off in a predetermined marquee pattern.
A display lighting system, comprising:
- a light driver to set intensity levels of lights connected to a plurality of lighting channels;
- and
- a lighting controller configured to receive a compiled lighting sequence and use the compiled lighting sequence to provide input to the light driver to cause the light driver to set the intensity levels of the lights connected to the plurality of lighting channels according to the compiled lighting sequence, wherein the compiled lighting sequence comprises a plurality of lighting actions, and wherein transitions between lighting actions are defined in the compiled lighting sequence to occur after expiration of user specified amounts of time.
