  • Remotely Controlled and Monitored Followspot
    Publication number: 20230247745
    Abstract: A remote follow spot system includes a remote controller that has separately movable parts that are movable in two orthogonal directions, and a display attached to one of said two separately movable parts. The display receives a video feed from a controlled light, that is controlled to move in the same directions as remote controller. The display hence shows the field of view where the light is pointing. In this way, an operator of the follow spot can control the light without physically being near the light.

  • Fast Remote Stage Applications
    Publication number: 20220385754
    Abstract: Fast wireless communicators are used to carry out functions in a stage lighting display environment. LED tiles can be equipped with fast Internet such as 5G, and each of a number of LED tiles in an array can define an address that represents a part of the array. The video processor can break up an image into different parts for each LED tile of the array and send those different parts to the array.
