  • Patent number: 10149372
    Abstract: A lighting control console for controlling a lighting system includes digital adjusting commands being generated in the lighting control console that are transmitted to the lighting system via data links. The lighting control console includes at least one slide control for inputting operating commands via linear displacement of a control knob protruding from the upper side of the console housing. The upper side of the console housing includes a slit for each slide control. The control knob is connected to the slide control via the slit. A tactile sensor system provided at the slide control can detect when the user touches the control knob.

  • Patent number: 10149373
    Abstract: A lighting control console for controlling a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console that can be transmitted to the lighting system via data links. At least one dual encoder is provided in the control panel of the lighting control console which allows users to enter input values. The dual encoder includes a first shaft and a second shaft rotatably mounted in a housing, first and second locking mechanisms for locking different rotational positions of the first and second shafts, and at least one first and at least one second rotation signal generator for generating a data signal showing a switchover between two locking positions. Both shafts include actuating elements at which adjusting movements can be transmitted onto the shafts by hand.
