Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of controlling lighting and of the kind mentioned in the introductory part of claim 1.
- US-A-4, 995, 026 describes an apparatus and a method for coding audio and lighting controlling data onto one and the same optical disc (CD) in that a synchronization signal, a digital audio-data signal and a secondary code signal in a frame are recorded, the respective signal codes corresponding to a colour parameter, an intensity parameter and fading-in and fading-out parameters being recorded in predetermined bits (binary digits) of the said secondary code signal. It is thus possible to produce an optical disc (CD) which automatically can control the lighting equipment by means of the reproduced output from the optical disc. In other words, it is the production of an extra control track on a CD which is especi- ally adopted for use in so-called KARAOKE systems.
- the method according to the invention is characterized in that a special code protocol is applied which makes it possi- ble to use functional commands, such as "white flash” or “red slow scanning", which are translated into lighting settings in the lighting installation, and that the respective light ⁇ ing control commands for synchronization of lighting effects in relation to the sound recording (the music) are supplied separately by supplier, the synchronous running of the light ⁇ ing control programme being controlled (initiated) by means of the time code which is present on a standard music CD with the actual sound recording.
- a special code protocol is applied which makes it possi- ble to use functional commands, such as "white flash” or “red slow scanning”, which are translated into lighting settings in the lighting installation, and that the respective light ⁇ ing control commands for synchronization of lighting effects in relation to the sound recording (the music) are supplied separately by supplier, the synchronous running of the light ⁇ ing control programme being controlled (initiated) by means of the time code which is present on a standard music CD with the actual sound recording.
- the said CD preferably is a standard music CD (audio CD) .
- said lighting control commands are delivered from the supplier on a data diskette.
- said lighting control commands can be obtained from supplier via on-line connection, for example via the inter- net.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus for lighting control using the method according to the invention, which apparatus is characterized in that it preferably constitutes or comprises a standard CD player, which is provided with a special terminal or a special plug, which is connected to the reading equipment of the CD player in such a way that the time code from a music CD, preferably a standard music CD, can be derived from preferably in the form of a digital control signal.
- a music CD preferably a standard music CD
- the known state-in-art part of the system can be seen, which part already exists at the user, for example restaurant or discotheque, in that it is prefer ⁇ ably presumed in connection with the method according to the invention that the local user has a local installation with a number of controllable lighting effects in the form of sta- tionary lamps, lighting robots, light scanners, projectors with various filters and masks, smoke generating machines and the like which can be controlled via system software, i.e. computer with common internal controllers and transmitter hardware or similar EDP controlling equipment.
- system software i.e. computer with common internal controllers and transmitter hardware or similar EDP controlling equipment.
- a music CD (compact disk) comprises an ID code as well as a controlling track with a well-defined time code, so that each variation in the sound recording can re-traced by means of the time code. It is thus possible to control the performance of varying light shows by means of one and the same time code, i.e. it is up to the user alone to decide which light show is to be performed to the music on a specific CD.
- a superior macro programme is applied which alone is controlled by the time code of the specific CD and which locally is translated into specific lighting settings in the actual lighting installation.
- the running of a macro programme which is supplied on a data diskette or which is obtained for the occasion via on-line connection with a supplier may in other words be used the controlling completely different light shows in completely different lighting installations, even though the macro programme in question is designed to be controlled by the time code of a specific music CD.
- An apparatus for lighting controlling by means of the method according to the invention is preferably constituted by or comprises a standard CD player which is provided with a special terminal or a special plug which is connected to the reading equipment of the CD player in a manner so that the time code from a music CD, preferably a standard music CD, can be derived, preferably in the form of a digital control signal.
- a CD player generally can be provided with a special plug from which the time code from the actual, played music CD continuously can be derived and, for example, be used for external controlling purposes, for example for controlling or performing of light shows which are synchronized with the actual sound recording.
