| Title: |
Follow Spot Control System |
| Abstract: |
A follow spot controller and method are provided that store first and
second sets of individual pan and tilt parameters for each of a plurality
of automated luminaires and calibrate a 3-D model of a surface of a
performance area and location and mounting orientations of the automated
luminaires relative to the performance area, based on the stored sets of
individual pan and tilt parameters. A physical orientation of the follow
spot controller is sensed and operator pan and tilt parameters are sent
to one of the automated luminaires. The operator pan and tilt parameters
are based on the physical orientation of the follow spot controller.
Individual calculated pan and tilt parameters are sent to each of the
other automated luminaires. The individual calculated pan and tilt
parameters are based on the operator pan and tilt parameters and the 3-D
model.
