This system uses a local network, there is a master device that distributes the information mentioned for display, as well as individual editing tools. The master device can be connected with auxiliary processors, for example, with the possibility of synchronizing the performance with the demonstration of a movie (WO9850900, G 09 B 15/02, published 12.11.1998). This device can be used to create a musical performance, and, in principle, you can connect to it (by analogy with movie equipment) and other devices related to the production of stage effects. However, it is adapted for practicing and editing only the musical part of the performance. Its application is rather narrow, that is, the lipp is limited to the field of concerts and musical performances.

A device for controlling stage equipment for a puppet theater is also known, comprising sound reproduction means, displays, each of which relates to a particular doll, display control means, information input means, and control signals of accompanying lighting and moving decorations are recorded on a sound track of a nosigel, mainly additional magnetic tape track. (US5085609, A 63 J 19/00, published 04/02/1992). This device is convenient to use, mobile, allows you to implement

staging a performance for non-professionals at home. However, its use is limited to the field of puppet theaters with a minimal amount of equipment and props, and it cannot be used for staging large performances using complex systems for implementing special effects in large, including open, spaces.

It is also known implemented in the system of image formation and sound accompaniment of information-entertain. Stage space in infotainment complexes A device for controlling stage equipment and props, containing a processor designed to control the playback of audio and video data, as well as the operation of other stage equipment and props, and is associated with control systems for executive devices.

independent audio and video systems. It can be used to create decorations for television studios, in information and entertainment

structures in the system containing various combinations of screen systems. The mentioned system can be used to design an information-entertainment system in the re-reporting of the jazz of outdoor, street events, for example, sports competitions. In addition, it can be used in the design of holidays and theatrical performances, as well as in the home cinema. However, the synchronization of the various control systems of executive devices is provided in a rather complicated way. In addition, when conducting rehearsals, preparing and practicing certain moments of the performance, repeated repetition and adjustment of episodes is very difficult. In the event of an unexpected stop of the action, its continuation from the moment of stop is essentially impossible.

Known devices related to the field of entertainment, including storage media with protection against unauthorized manufacture and use, for example, an electronic device with a media installation unit for visually recognizable designation information, comprising a special information detection unit selected from block information consisting of designation information, output unit with reference information corresponding to the designation information for comparing information with comparison information in e Alon

information corresponding to special information, and generating the output signal of the comparison result (RU 94042239, published in 19%). This invention is intended for use mainly in the field of computer games. As the mentioned information of the designation, which, in fact, is a means of protection against illegal manufacture and use and is formed by the corresponding pits for the latest technology of the information carrier, the trademark of the game developer is used. Special information and the corresponding reference information stored in the output unit of the electronic device are determined by a randomly selected fragment of visual information. The implementation of such protection on the one hand is quite complicated. On the other hand, since a certain tinned graphic element was used as the basis for protection, when breaking into this protection system, further individual protection of information noskgels is impossible.

A device is known for individual protection of information carriers against unauthorized use, including an information carrier on which the serial number of the device on which the medium is to be installed is used as a security code (application DE 4021535, published January 8, 1992). Using the serial number of the equipment to reproduce the information recorded on the medium makes it impossible to use the medium when replacing or possibly upgrading your hardware.

A device is known that contains a magneto-optical storage medium having stable protection against unauthorized use in the form of a code mark made by changing the magnetic properties of the medium (US patent 5661703, published 26.08.1997).

In addition, these devices are not compatible with existing home (and other) entertainment systems.

The closest analogue of the claimed utility model is a device for controlling stage equipment and props, containing a processor designed to control the playback of audio and video data, as well as the operation of other stage equipment and requisites and connected to control systems of corresponding performing devices, on a storage medium or on a storage medium for example, which contains audio and / or video data, a sequence of stage control signals is recorded ore and items of props or part thereof, while the device for controlling stage equipment and items of props is equipped with a decoder created on the basis of the said processor for converting the indicated sequence into standard control signal streams and synchronizing them, each of these streams being related to the corresponding control system or a subject of props, and the mentioned storage media are, for example, DVD-ROM discs (certificate RU 20037, published on 10/20/01).

The technical result, the achievement of which this utility model is aimed, is to ensure that when managing the operation of various devices of stage equipment and props, provided that the media kit is used with protection from unauthorized manufacture and use of this equipment set.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the device for controlling stage equipment and props containing audio and / or video storage means representing a standard information medium, means for storing a sequence of control signals for stage equipment and props or part thereof, and a processor for controlling playback audio and video data, as well as the operation of other stage equipment and props and associated with control systems existing actuators, and programmed with the possibility of converting the indicated sequence of control signals into standard control signal streams and synchronizing them, each of these streams being related to the corresponding control system or the subject of requisites, the storage means are a set of different types of information carriers, and the information related to audio and / or video data and said sequence of control signals are recorded on various types of media, For example to record audio

and / or video data, a DVD-ROM disk is used, and for recording the last signal of control signals, the media are MT1-CB, moreover, key codes defining specific means of reproduction and synchronization signals for joint reproduction of data from these carriers are recorded on the information carriers.

The key code of the previous one is recorded on a medium containing control signals and signals qqq) down.

Control systems for executive devices may include a system for adjusting spatial sound equipment, a control system for image reproduction devices, an aromatic decoder for controlling odor forming devices, a lighting equipment control system, a laser control system, and special effects decoders for controlling special effects devices, and the like devices.

The processor is programmed with the ability to track the passage of each of the streams of standard control signals related to the management of the associated equipment and fix in the processor memory the status of each of the streams in the event of a media stop, with the possibility of continuing sishphone transfer of the streams of these signals.

The drawing shows a schematic illustration of a device for controlling stage equipment and props.

The device contains various types of information carriers 1a and 16, on one of which information related to audio and / or video data is recorded, and on the other is a sequence of control signals for stage equipment and props or part thereof. As information carriers, for example, a DVD disc and an MT1-SV disc can be used. Moreover, key information codes are recorded on the information media that determine the specific means of modification and synchronization signals for the joint reproduction of data from these media.

Thus, either of the media (mainly the medium on which the control signals are recorded) or both can be protected from copying and can only be played back on devices designed for it. In addition, there is the possibility of such a work scheme in which reproduction of protected media will be possible only on a strictly defined device, while the authorization system of the media owner is built on the principle of electronic signature (for example, a customer ordering a show will obviously protect his right to an exclusive product, t .k. the appropriate medium, for example, the MT1-CB disc on which it will be recorded, can only be played back on its own player, and the guarantee of media security is aschitny code - key). As a key, any digital code, electronic signature or fingerprint in digital form can be used.

The sequence of control signals, synchronization signals, and key codes are supplied to decoder 2, which is based on processor 3, and in which, provided the keys are correctly recorded, this sequence is converted to synchronous streams of standard control signals. Each of these streams refers to the corresponding control system or the subject of the control system 4 of the stage equipment actuators, which may include the spatial sound equipment control subsystem to which the spatial sound equipment is connected, the image playback device control subsystem associated with the image playback devices , aromatic decoder, lighting equipment control subsystem, control subsystem Lenia lasers and decoder effects.

Management of props can be carried out by a wide variety of devices having a wide range of complexity, while protection at any level can be implemented against unauthorized manufacture and use of the device, and compatibility with existing systems and devices can be maintained.
