Abstract:
1. A method for controlling stroke video generation components capable of generating multiple and different stroke video signals, comprising: providing a memory component including a plurality of video patterns; coupling a sequence controller to the memory component to enable specific patterns to be retrieved from the memory component and used to generate the stroke video signals; creating a plurality of different programs with each commanding or causing the sequence controller to provide a different sequence of patterns from the same memory component, and thereby obtain the plurality of different stroke video signals, the step of creating the plurality of different programs comprising integrating software constructs into each of the programs; encoding the programs on computer-readable media; determining at least one desired stroke video signal to be generated by the sequence controller; determining which program will cause the sequence controller to generate each of the at least one desired stroke video signal; and operatively running the determined program to cause the sequence controller to provide the patterns from the memory component in the desired order to thereby enable generation of each of the at least one desired stroke video signal.
