Abstract: A lightshow control system for generating a lightshow across a plurality of pixels or mobile devices comprises a controller configured to receive a lightshow operator's input and to generate a plurality of lightshow parameters. The system comprises a beacon transmitter in communication with the lightshow controller and configured to receive the lightshow parameters from the lightshow controller, encode the lightshow parameters on a beacon signal, and broadcast the beacon signal to the pixels, wherein each pixel is configured to receive and decode the beacon signal to perform one or more display actions. The decoded beacon signal includes reference timing information to facilitate synchronization of the pixels. The display actions may be based in part on the individual pixel location which is determined by the pixel based on TDOA multilateration and/or trilateration from distinct audio signals emitted by a plurality of speaker nodes.
