  • Patent number: 11363701
    Abstract: A method for controlling a lighting system using a lighting control console generating digital adjusting commands transmitted to lighting devices of the lighting system via data links at least one moving an adjustable lighting device towards different positions, and a preprogrammed lighting program being carried out in several consecutive program steps, an acoustic parameter characterizing the noise sensitivity being assigned to each programs step. The method includes driving the actuator towards the next predefined position of the lighting device as a function of a result of a comparison of the acoustic parameters of the program steps.

  • Patent number: 11102872
    Abstract: A method for operating a control system for controlling a lighting system. The control system includes at least two lighting control modules, each lighting control module including at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing lighting programs. Each lighting control module includes a housing in which the digital processor and the digital memory are disposed. Digital adjusting commands are generated in each lighting control module, and are transmittable to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data links. The different lighting control modules are able to exchange data via data lines and interfaces. A system time signal is generated in a lighting control module and is transmitted to all lighting control modules of the control system via the data lines, and the lighting programs in the different lighting control modules are executed using the system time signal.

  • Patent number: 10820393
    Abstract: A lighting control operating unit generating digital adjusting commands which are transmitted to a processing unit via a data link includes several control elements, including key buttons, slide controls and/or rotary controls, which are disposed at the upper side of a housing. At least one dual encoder is provided in a control panel of the lighting control operating unit allowing users to enter input values. The dual encoder presents a first shaft rotatably mounted in a housing, and a second shaft mounted in the housing so as to be coaxially rotatable, and corresponding first and second rotation signal generators Both shafts include actuating elements transmitting adjusting movements. The actuating elements are a rotary disk and/or a rotary swivel configured to be coaxially turned in opposite directions.

  • Patent number: 10638583
    Abstract: A method for controlling a lighting system with the aid of a lighting control console (01), having the following method steps, a) establishing at least two points of intersection (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) in the adjusting range plane (09), each point of intersection (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) being defined by way of a pair of values that consists of at least two adjusting values; b) calculating an effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23) that links all points of intersection (12, 13, 17, 19, 24) in the adjusting range plane (09); c) selecting adjusting value combinations (15) that are in each case located on the effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23); d) transmitting the selected adjusting value combinations (15) from the effect function curve (14, 16, 18, 21, 23) as adjusting commands to the lighting device.
