Abstract: A lighting controller is configured to make lighting control data in which lighting control information corresponding to a music piece is recorded and to control a lighting apparatus based on the lighting control data. The lighting controller includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire beat position information indicating beat positions of music piece data; a reference position plotting unit configured to plot a plurality of reference positions corresponding one-to-one to the beat positions of the beat position information; a lighting control information setting unit configured to set the lighting control information corresponding to the music piece; and a lighting control information editing unit configured to record the lighting control information with reference to the reference positions.

Abstract: A lighting controller configured to control a lighting fixture based on music piece data in which characteristic sections that characterize a music construction are allocated includes: a transition information acquisition unit configured to obtain transition information for each of the characteristic sections in the music piece data; a note-fractionated-section analyzing unit configured to analyze the characteristic section(s) in the music piece data to detect a note-fractionated section where a note is fractionated with progression of bars; and a lighting control data generating unit configured to generate lighting control data based on the transition information obtained by the transition information acquisition unit and the note-fractionated section detected by the note-fractionated-section analyzing unit.

Abstract: A digital content reproduction control signal for controlling a reproduction of digital content includes: a first control signal (SG1) having a time code signal recorded therein and having a predetermined frequency; and a second control signal (SG2) having a 2n-fold frequency of the frequency of the first control signal, n representing a natural number, in which the first control signal (SG1) and the second control signal (SG2) are combined such that zero-cross points of a waveform of the first control signal (SG1) are aligned with zero-cross points of a waveform of the second control signal (SG2) on a time axis.

Abstract: An operation device includes a stationary portion, a movable portion configured to move in a predetermined direction within a predetermined range, and a load adjuster configured to adjust a movement load of the movable portion. An elastic portion that is elastically deformable is provided to the movable portion. The load adjuster is provided to the stationary portion and provided with a press portion configured to press the elastic portion in a direction intersecting with the moving direction of the movable portion.

Abstract: A device for selecting a music piece for generating lighting control data is configured to select, among pieces of music piece data each containing transition information of characteristic sections that characterize a music structure, a target piece of music piece data suitable for generating the lighting control data for each of the pieces of music piece data. The music piece selecting device includes: a transition information acquirer acquiring the transition information of the characteristic sections in each piece of music piece data; a characteristic section type determiner determining respective types of the characteristic sections based on the transition information of the characteristic sections acquired by the transition information acquirer; and a music piece data selector selecting the target piece of music piece data for generating the lighting control data based on the respective types of the characteristic sections determined by the characteristic section type determiner.

Abstract: A sound equipment control operation input device includes: a plurality of operation units, at least one of the operation units being operated to control sound equipment; a control mode switcher configured to switch one or more of the operation units to a first control mode for controlling the sound equipment or a second control mode for controlling lighting equipment; a control mode determiner configured to determine respective control mode settings of the operation units; and a control mode visual indicator configured to visually indicate the respective control mode settings of the operation units based on results of determination by the control mode determiner.
