A VIDEO AND LIGHTING CONTROL SYNCHRONIZING SYSTEM AND METHOD
Described is a means for synchronizing the playback of video and lighting data, specifically to a method for conforming the timing of DMX 512 lighting data so as to coincide with video data.
1 . A lighting control system comprising:
a light emitting device that utilizes a frame based video signal;
a timed control signal for controlling light output; and
a synchronizer that synchronizes the timing of the control signals output to the frame rate of the video signal.
2 . The lighting control system of claim 1 further comprising:
a second timed control signal for controlling light output and the synchronizer synchronizes the timing of the second timed control signal with the first timed control signal to the frame rate of the video signal.
3 . The lighting control system of claim 1 where time timed control signal for controlling light output is a plurality of timed control signals and all of the plurality are synchronized with the frame rate of the video signal.
4 . A DMX 512 lighting control system further with a synchronizer for receiving a synchronizing signal and synchronizing the DMX output(s) to synchronized in accordance with the synchronizing signal.
