Abstract:
1. A method for manipulating levels of brightness for a lighting device, the method comprising: (a) receiving, by an interface device, an input signal being transmitted to the lighting device, the input signal representing a first level of brightness; (b) identifying, by the interface device, a digital value for the input signal, the digital value having a predetermined number of bits; (c) generating, by the interface device, a truncated digital value by removing a portion of bits from the digital value; (d) mapping, by the interface device, the truncated digital value to a non-truncated digital value having the predetermined number of bits and that represents a second level of brightness; and (e) transmitting, by the interface device, a second signal representing the non-truncated digital value as the input signal to be transmitted to the lighting device.
