A program button unit for inputting an operation signal, an illumination play button unit including a plurality of buttons for inputting an output signal for outputting the scene information programmed by the user to the luminaire, a prism, a shutter, a gobo rotation, The lighting component button unit includes horizontal and vertical position buttons of the lighting fixture, and inputs a user's manipulation signal and a manipulation signal for various components constituting the lighting fixture.

As such, the operation input information input through the operation unit 1 is displayed on the display unit 7, and the display unit 7 uses a method of displaying a CRT, a liquid crystal display, or a 7-segment. It is not limited to this.

On the other hand, the memory unit 3 is a relatively large memory such as a hard disk or flash memory, the identification information of the luminaire input through the operation unit 1 and the offset position information and the device for the projection position of the respective lighting fixtures The main program for the first half is stored. In addition, the memory unit 3 stores various types of production scenes generated according to the operation signal of the operation unit 1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the offset position information stored in the memory unit is an offset of the projection position of the first luminaire relative to the projection position set by the user, and the user uses the horizontal and vertical position buttons of the luminaire. While looking at the light projection position of the luminaire, the offset for the position information is input.

On the other hand, the control unit 5 generates the directed scene information according to the operation signal of the operation unit 1, outputs the directed scene information to the memory unit 3, reads the directed scene information stored in the memory unit 3, and lights accordingly. While controlling continuously, the lighting device is controlled by correcting the scene information according to the offset position information of each lighting device stored in the memory unit (3).

That is, the control unit 5 receives an operation signal input from the operation unit 1, for example, a production scene number, a selection signal of a luminaire, and illumination scene data of each luminaire to generate and store a plurality of production scene information. do. The lighting scene data may include channel data for controlling the respective lighting fixtures, for example, control data for lighting components such as shutters, prisms, gobos, and color plates, and horizontal position data of the lighting fixtures, vertical position data, and lighting fixtures. Slope data about the movement of the vehicle, velocity data of the luminaire, driving time data selection signal and the variable value for them are received.

According to various operation signals input from the operation unit 1, the scene information is continuously executed. At this time, the position information of each of the luminaires included in the direction scene information stored in the memory unit 3 is stored in the offset position information. The corrected scene information is corrected according to the lighting fixtures. That is, the position control value of the projection position of each of the lighting fixtures included in the production scene information is corrected according to the position control value of the offset position information of the respective lighting fixtures inputted from the manipulation unit.

Therefore, when the lighting control console device according to the present invention executes the production scene information stored in the memory unit, by outputting by correcting the projection position of each of the lighting fixtures included in the production scene information according to the offset position information of each lighting fixture, It is possible to prevent the projection position of the mechanism from shifting from the reference position.

It further includes a rendering scene data processing unit 51 output to the unit (3). The memory unit 3 further includes corrected direction scene information output from the direction scene data processing unit 51.

Accordingly, when a new stage lighting is to be produced, the projection position of each lighting fixture is obtained by using offset position information of each lighting fixture stored in the memory unit without separately performing lighting installation work on the new scene information. Quick and simple setup

Hereinafter, a lighting control method performed in the lighting control console having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIG. 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, offset position information of each lighting device is received through the operation unit 1 and stored therein (S10). The offset position information input in step S10 is a position control value according to a difference between the projected position value of the initially set luminaire and the projected position value of the luminaire when the position correction is completed, using horizontal and vertical position buttons of each luminaire. By looking at the light projection position of the luminaire with the naked eye, the position information about the offset is input.

That is, it is manipulated on the console to illuminate the reference position corresponding to a kind of zero point. However, due to the positional error on the installation, the position of the actual light will reflect the position with a specific coordinate value away from the zero.

According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the offset value may be directly measured and converted into a control value to allow a person to input an offset value. Accordingly, it is possible to climb the light tower and to accurately position the light without directly modifying the light position.

According to a more advanced embodiment of the present invention, this input of the offset value is performed automatically by the console device according to the present invention. In other words, first operate on the console to illuminate the zero point. However, the actual illuminating position may project a specific coordinate point away from zero. Then press the initial position setting key to enter the offset setting mode. In this setting mode, the operator controls the lighting position by moving an operation part on the console, for example a joystick, so that the lighting is projected to the zero, reference position. If the lighting is zeroing according to this operation, press the setting key.

Accordingly, the console device according to the present invention calculates the difference of the control value according to the movement from the initial position to the reference position and calculates an offset value therefrom. This calculation can be made so that the offset is (-3, -4) if the opposite sign of the control value, i.e., the movement of the control value is (3,4). Such an embodiment can handle all of the position control according to the present invention on the console, making it more convenient for the operator.

This process is repeated for all luminaires. If an offset value is input for all luminaires, individual lighting can be controlled.

That is, for example, in the case of individual manual control, when a control command for moving a specific light to a specific position is input through the operation unit (S20), the controller controls the light by reflecting the offset value stored in the memory in the original light control value. The value is corrected and output to the luminaire (S30). Accordingly, if the lighting is controlled as it is, the luminaire that is out of the reference position is accurately projected to the intended position.

In addition, for example, in the case of program control, position control values for a plurality of lights are read according to a stored program (S20). These position control values are respectively corrected by the controller according to the corresponding offset position information. Corrected position control values are output to the corresponding lighting fixtures (S30). By this sequential control, the respective lights are controlled to the originally intended positions so that the respective lighting fixtures can be precisely and spatially synchronized with each other to create a fantastic lighting scene.

As described above, the lighting control console device and the lighting control method according to the present invention correct and control the position information of each lighting device according to the offset position information of each lighting device, thereby adjusting the offset position of each conventional lighting device. There is an advantage that can be safely and easily performed lighting installation without going through the manual process of the initial projection position of each luminaire according to.

In addition, when the new stage lighting is produced, it is possible to quickly and simply set the projection position of each lighting fixture according to the new production scene information by using the offset position information on the lighting fixture.

Although the present invention has been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that many different and obvious modifications are possible without departing from the scope of the invention from this description. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be construed by the claims described to include many such variations.
