Patent ID: 8314800

Claim:
A lighting system comprising: a computer based processor, receiving information indicative of a gobo that is changing over time; said processor determining a velocity of movement of said gobo and defining durations of time, based on said velocity, at which different gobo images are to be displayed representing the change of the gobo over time, said processor changing a shape of the gobo being displayed based on said gobo images between a first gobo image at a first time and a second gobo image at a second time and providing an output signal representing a shape and color for the gobo at said first and second time; a lighting part, receiving said first and second gobo images, and displaying said first gobo image of said first time and displaying said second gobo image at said second time, said lighting part having a maximum speed at which it can change said image between a first and a second image; said processor determining an amount of time for the gobo to move between said images, said durations of time being long enough to accommodate said amount of time; said processor operating at a third time related to said durations of time, to automatically determining a new image with a new gobo shape based on said information indicative of a gobo that is changing over time and using the new gobo shape to display a new colored light gobo shape at said third time.
