In one embodiment, the first and second cheering lighting devices 110 and 220 are performed using the first and second cheering lighting devices 110 and 220 in the audience seat in advance before the performance is directed. May contain data.

In another embodiment, the first and second cheering lighting devices 110 and 220 are used to determine which groups each of the first and second cheering lighting devices 110 and 220 belong to each scene in advance before the performance is directed. Only group information can be saved. In this case, the light emission state information (eg, color information) may be excluded from the pre-stored information. The group information may mean a bundle of lighting devices for cheering that are controlled with the same color at a specific moment or scene.

To this end, the first and second cheering lighting devices 110 and 220 maintain the allocated light emission state information (eg, lighting color information) for each group as empty data or dummy data or Only temporary color information can be recorded. That is, the actual lighting color information for each group may be transmitted in real time while performing an actual performance.

That is, group information may be allocated so that a plurality of cheering lighting devices controlled together with the same color in a specific scene have the same group information, and information on which color the corresponding group is controlled may be excluded. In the actual performance production process, the color can be changed in consideration of the atmosphere or situation of the field, so unlike the method of storing all color information in the cheering device, flexible performance production can be possible.

It is a diagram for explaining an embodiment of a case where synchronized control data is included in the performance data according to the present invention.

First of all, referring to FIG. 5, the control console device 130 uses the first cheering lighting devices 110 located corresponding to each seat in the performance hall 20 to produce a performance production effect. Based on the data, control data for controlling the first cheering lighting devices 110 may be generated in response to the performance directing data (S100).

In one embodiment, the control console device 130 generates control data corresponding to the performance time as the performance is performed in the performance hall 20 based on the performance production data set to implement each stage of the performance production section. can do.

In this case, the control console device 130 may receive and store the performance performance data from another device (eg, the above-described data generating device) in advance, or may be provided through another storage medium or a transmission medium. In addition, the control console device 130 may receive performance directing data in real time during a performance and generate control data corresponding thereto.

Next, the first cheering lighting devices 110 receive control data from the control console device 130 or the master device 120, but group information previously stored in the first cheering lighting devices 110 Control data corresponding to is selectively received, and based on the received control data, the operation may be performed according to a light emission state (eg, light emission color) corresponding to the group information of the user (S110).

As described above, the first cheering lighting devices 110 may be located corresponding to their own seats in the designated venue 20 through a performance ticket, etc., and are mapped to their own seats in advance before the start of the performance. Group data including existing group information may be provided and stored.

Depending on the embodiment, the control console device 130 may directly transmit control data to the first cheering lighting devices 110 in the performance hall 20 in a wireless communication method, or control data through the master device 120. May be transmitted to the first cheering lighting devices 110 in the performance hall 20. In this case, as described above, the master device 120 may receive control data generated by the control console device 130 and convert the received control data into a data format of a predetermined form according to a communication method. Accordingly, the master device 120 may transmit the converted control data to the first cheering lighting devices 110 according to a specific communication method (eg, wireless communication such as RF communication).

Next, the control console device 130 may generate control data synchronized with the performance data (S120). That is, the control console device 130 provides control data to the first cheering lighting devices 110 in the performance hall 20 and at the same time, the second cheering lighting in the remote location 30 by interlocking with the performance hall 20 The devices 220 can be controlled.

Accordingly, the performance directing effect (ie, the performance directing scene) implemented in the performance hall 20 may be interlocked in the remote location 30 to be synchronized in real time. Accordingly, the control console device 130 controls the first cheering lighting devices 110 on the basis of the performance production data in step S100 and transfers the control data generated to be implemented in the audience seat of the performance hall 20 to the remote location 30. Need to provide.

For this purpose, the remote location ( The audience of 30) can experience the performance directing effect according to the performance directing data together with the first cheering lighting devices 110 by carrying the second cheering lighting devices 220.

Therefore, the control console device 130 is based on the control data generated to control the first cheering lighting devices 110, the control data so that the second cheering lighting devices 220 can be interlocked and synchronized. Can be processed.

In an embodiment, the control console device 130 may process the control data generated in step S100 to be synchronized with performance data provided to the remote location 30. At this time, when the control data and performance data are transmitted to the remote location 30, the control data and the performance data may not match each other due to technical problems or various problems of the remote location 30 during transmission. The process of controlling by synchronizing performance data may be necessary. In order to solve this problem, time code information may be added to synchronize the playback time of the control data and the performance data. That is, the control console device 130 stores the time code information in the control data so that it is synchronized with the performance data using time code information generated based on the performance data or the time code information generated based on the performance of the performance hall 20. It can be configured by mapping. At this time, the time code information is information mapped to the synchronized control data corresponding to the current playback section of the performance data, and the master device 120, the control console device 130, the first cheering lighting devices 110, or to be described later. It may be generated by various devices such as the server 140, software or programs, etc., and the generated time code is provided to related devices and devices, software or programs, so that all devices and devices in the system can share the same time code information.

For example, the control console device 130 uses the time code information generated based on the reproduction time of the performance data, and maps the control data corresponding to the time code information for each frame within the performance data, thereby synchronizing with the performance data. Control data can be created.

Alternatively, the control console device 130 maps the control data corresponding to the time code information according to the performance time by using the time code information generated based on the start point at the time of the performance of the performance hall 20, Synchronized control data can be created.

Here, the time code information may be time information generated in units such as hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. In the case of a video file, the playback time itself can be used as a timecode, or can be generated using a timecode generator.

For example, the control console device 130 performs a specific control operation according to the control data based on the time code information including time information generated in units of hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, etc. Synchronized control data can be generated by mapping the starting point and time code information to be executed.
