Description

The virtual hall for realizing the lighting effect {The remote virtual hall for realizing the effect of controlling lights}

The present invention relates to a device and a facility of a remote virtual theater, and transmits information on the lighting control being controlled in the actual concert hall according to a certain method, and to decode it in the remote virtual theater to produce the same lighting effect as the actual theater. By controlling, the present invention relates to a remote virtual theater that realizes the lighting effect for realizing the lighting effect of the actual theater.

As science and technology developed, people's desire for cultural life also diversified. Along with watching sports, participating and traveling, various performances and movies are also part of cultural life.

It is due to the afterimage principle of snow that can watch movie. When the human eye is generally exposed to about 30 independent scenes in one second, according to the principle of this afterimage, each scene is not distinguished independently and is recognized as a continuous video.

Cinema projectors continue to perform about 30 on-off operations per second, so that the projector projects about 30 scenes per second from the rotating movie film onto the large screen in front of the audience. You will see.

The principle of staging applies not only to movie theaters, but also to the principles of video and visual devices, such as TVs and monitors.

However, the general movie theaters like this show only the scenes that have already been shot to the audience through a flat screen, and delivers the images and sounds of the scenes lived in the actual theater to other places to convey the sense of reality to the audience. I'm not good at it. Although the technology of presenting a sense of reality to the audience through the development of various technologies is a trend that is being developed these days, it is not able to convey a sense of reality to the audience. In addition, there is a problem that even if the remote performance is performed, the realism in the actual performance hall is not realized in the remote virtual performance hall.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to transmit the control information of the lights installed in the actual theater in a certain way to solve the above-mentioned problems, and in the remote virtual theater by decoding the lighting information to control the lights installed in the remote virtual theater, It is to provide a technology for the remote virtual theater that realizes the lighting effect so that the virtual theater can experience the lighting effect of the actual theater.

An illumination information receiving console for receiving the performance signal including the illumination control information of an actual performance hall and extracting the illumination control information; And

At least one lighting control device for controlling the respective lights to correspond to the lighting of the actual venue, in accordance with the lighting control information received from the lighting information receiving console. Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Lighting is not just something that shows a general, one-dimensional thing. Lighting, especially stage lighting, is an art activity to deepen the audience through the creative process of expressing the concept of time and the composition of space. Real lighting means that the effect element can express the atmosphere to be distorted or give the opposite effect. In addition, depending on the lighting effect, which kind of person or scene can lead fantastically, and in some cases, it can be rough and scary. As such, lighting becomes an important element to convey the real atmosphere in the performances.

The present invention relates to a remote virtual theater that realizes the lighting effect for realizing the lighting effect of the actual theater in the virtual theater of the remote as an invention for realizing the important lighting effect as described above.

1 is a view for explaining the process of realizing the lighting effect of the remote virtual performance in accordance with the present invention.

The present invention is to control the lights (151 to 158) installed in the remote virtual theater (H15) by using the control information of the lights (101 to 108) installed in the actual theater (H10).

As shown, the actual venue H10 is equipped with a plurality of lights 101 to 108. And on the stage (ST10) a singer (S10) is singing. In order to produce the stage ST10 beautifully and fantastically, each of the lights 101 to 108 starts to operate according to a predetermined program or a predetermined control method.

In one example, the two front lights 101 and 102 close to the stage ST10 are cast lamps that are controlled to illuminate the singer S10, and the four rear lights 103 to 106 behind the stage S10. It is assumed that the stage ST10 and the stage background B15 are excluded, and the two left and right lights 107 and 108 are effect lights to produce the overall effect of the actual performance hall H10. According to the control of the lights 101 to 108, the stage ST10 is led to a more colorful and fantastic atmosphere.

The remote virtual performance hall (H15) is one space spaced apart from the actual performance hall (H10). The remote virtual theater (H15) is controlled to perform the same operation corresponding to each of the lights (101 to 108) installed in the actual theater (H10), a plurality of lights for realizing the same lighting effect as the actual theater (H10) Fields 151 to 158 are provided.

As described above, the remote virtual performance hall H15 according to the present invention processes and transmits the situation or information controlled by the lights 101 to 108 of the actual performance hall H10 in a predetermined information transmission method, and then the remote virtual performance hall ( H15 decodes the lighting control information included in the communication signal and sends the respective lights 151 to 158 to transmit the corresponding lights 151 to 158 to the lights 101 to 108 of the actual performance hall H10. By controlling to operate in the same manner as), the lighting effect of the actual performance hall H10 is realized.

2 is a view illustrating a scanning principle of teletext, which is an embodiment of a signal transmission principle according to the present invention.

With the development of science and technology, a new information transmission medium called New Media has emerged in addition to TV and radio, which are existing radio media. Character broadcasting, which is a kind of new media, has the effect of displaying letters and pictures on the screen like a magazine or newspaper, unlike TV showing only moving images. Text broadcasting can be selectively selected by broadcasting not only video and sound but also text, as general voice multiple broadcasting superimposes another sound on the main sound of broadcasting so that the original sound can be selected and heard. It would be. In the end, you can think that another screen is hidden in the existing video screen. Such text broadcasting is called teletext.

As described above, the principle of afterimage is applied to almost all principles of realizing moving images as well as movies. Like the principle of the movie, the TVs we usually deal with are scanned on the screen in a way that 30 pictures per second illuminate each independent picture like a camera spot, and the viewer feels it as a continuous video. Each screen corresponding to 30 of these frames is called a “frame,” and a screen is scanned from the left of the screen of the TV receiver to generate one frame.

An example of such a scanning method is interlaced scanning. Interlaced scanning is a method of scanning between alternating odd and even lines. As shown in FIG. 2, an odd frame is a frame generated by scanning odd lines such as 1, 3, 5, .... When scanning is completed to the bottom of the screen, the odd frames are moved to the top of the screen along the BC line and then even. Scanning continues for the frame.

The scan for each line is divided into a scanning section (solid line section moving from left to right) and a return section (dashed line section moving from right to left). The section where the signal necessary to form the actual image exists is represented by a solid line. This is the displayed scan interval.

Teletext, which is a text broadcast, carries information signals related to text broadcasting during the return section indicated by a dotted line and transmits them, and the receiving side decodes them and scans them on the screen during the scanning section. It becomes possible.

3A is a diagram for explaining a DMX512 transmission protocol, which is an embodiment of a signal transmission method for realizing remote virtual extension of the present invention. The DMX512 protocol is a transmission protocol capable of transmitting information on up to 512 channels by transmitting data in the form of a data stream.

The DMX512 protocol remains 'high' while there is no signal to transmit. After the signal transmission starts, the signal transmission is started in the manner shown in FIG. 3A. In the DMX512 protocol, when the clock frequency of 250 [Khz] is used as the fundamental frequency, 4 [μS] is treated as one bit, that is, one bit.

The start of signal transmission in the DMX512 protocol is identified by a break section. As shown, the brake 30 may be maintained for a maximum of 1 second in a section of a 'low level' state having a size of at least 22 bits. When the brake 30 section ends, a break mark 32 (MAB) section indicating the end of the brake is positioned. The break mark 32 is a high level (HI) section of at least 2 bits.

When the break mark 32 section ends, the start code 34 (SC; Start Code) is located. The start code 34 is composed of a start bit (34a, start bit) of 1 bit, a data bit (34b, data bit) of 8 bits and a stop bit (34c, stop bit) of 2 bits. This is the first signal section that contains. After the start code 34, the channel separation mark 36 (MTBF) is placed. The channel separation mark 36 section separates signals between channels and simultaneously extracts information signals for each channel.

After the channel separation mark 36 at the rear end of the start code 34 for distinguishing the start code 34, a full channel information signal follows. As described above, the DMX512 protocol may transmit information on up to 512 channels. The form of each channel information signal also takes the same form as the above-described start code 34. That is, the information signal of the first channel 38-1, which is the first channel, includes one bit of start bits 38-1a and start bits, eight bits of data bits 38-1b and data bits, and two bits of end bits. It consists of 11 bits such as (38-1c, stop bit).

When the channel information signal of the first channel 38-1 ends, a first channel separation mark 36-1 for distinguishing the first channel 38-1 is positioned. Subsequently, the channel information signal of the second channel follows, and when the channel information signal of the second channel ends, a second channel separation mark for separating the second channel is located. In this format, information on up to 512 channels can be conveyed.

3B is a view for explaining a process of realizing a situation controlled in an actual performance venue in a remote virtual performance venue according to one embodiment of the present invention.

The lighting information receiving console 40 installed in the remote virtual theater receives a signal transmitted from the actual performance hall, analyzes a channel signal related to the lighting control information, and then outputs the lighting control information to each lighting control device 421 to 424. Send a signal to

Each of the lighting control devices 421 to 424 extracts a channel information signal to be controlled from each of the lights 421L to 424L among the channel information signals described with reference to FIG. 3A, and is installed in each of the lighting control devices 421 to 424. By controlling the lights 421L to 424L, the lighting effect of the actual performance venue is reproduced.

In addition, the respective lighting control devices 421 to 424 and the lights 421L to 424L do not necessarily correspond one-to-one. That is, the present invention is feasible even if each of the lights is controlled after extracting each light control signal from one integrated light control device.

In addition, in the present invention, the number of lights 101 to 108 and 151 to 158 of the actual performance hall H10 and the remote virtual performance hall H15 is not necessarily the same. If the number of lights in the remote virtual theater (H15) is less than the actual venue (H10), after considering the position and the effect of the lighting can produce a lighting effect by outputting a representative signal to the corresponding lights of the remote virtual theater (H15), When the number of lights is large, the present invention can be realized by grouping and controlling the lighting groups.

The lighting control information signal may be transmitted through various methods and paths. Like the teletext described with reference to FIG. 2, the illumination control information signal may be transmitted in the middle between the TV broadcast signal syringes, or may be included in the data area of the TCP / IP protocol for the Internet. That is, when various protocols for transmitting various information signals are used, lighting control information is included in a data section capable of loading information, and the present invention is controlled by extracting control information included in the data section and controlling the lights of a remote virtual performance venue. Remote virtual performance extension that realizes this intended lighting effect can be achieved.

In addition, even if the performance performed in a real performance hall is performed after a predetermined time, since the lighting control information of the actual performance hall is included in the signal of the performance status, the lighting control effect of the actual performance hall can be reproduced later.

As described above, the present invention enables the remote virtual theater to realize the lighting control situation, which is an important factor in transmitting the atmosphere, among the effects of various performance halls, even in the remote virtual theater. It provides effective effects and improves the equipment and equipment technology of the theater.
