Other shutters, prisms, color plates, lenses, and light sources are well known in the art, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 9, the internal structure of the conventional lighting control console device includes an operation unit 110, a controller 120, a memory 130, and a display unit 140.

The operation unit 110 includes a key button unit 111 and an encoder 112 for generating and executing rendering scene data. The memory unit 130 stores the main program 131 in which the control unit 120 can operate basically. The memory unit 130 requests information to the control unit 120 according to a read signal output from the control unit 120. Output The memory 130 also includes the scene information 132 and the channel information 133. The controller 120 controls the overall system, but generates the scene scene data according to the signal input from the manipulation unit 110 and inputs the scene scene data processing unit 121 and the manipulation unit 110 to store the scene scene data in the memory 130.
