| Title: |
Manual Control Device for Moving Head Spotlights |
| Abstract: |
A manual control device coupled to a Digital Multiplex (DMX) lighting controller and a moving head spotlight is configured to allow the moving head spotlight to be manually controlled by a manual controller or perform original functionality of the moving head spotlight. The manual control device comprises a manual control box, which is further comprised of a manual controller, a control module having a microcontroller, and a bypass switch. The microcontroller processes DMX signals including a pan coarse signal, a pan fine signal, a tilt coarse signal, and a tilt fine signal from the DMX light controller, as well as a pan manual control signal and a tilt control signal from the manual controller. The bypass switch is configured to allow the DMX signals to bypass the microcontroller directly to the moving head spotlight or flow through the microcontroller. |
