Patent ID: 8426714

Claim:
A method of generating a control sequence for a visual presentation system, the method comprising: arranging one or more visual notes on a visual staff representing a visually perceived stimuli associated with at least one physical light element of a visual presentation system, the one or more visual notes on the visual staff included in a graphical interface on a display coupled with a computer processor, the graphical interface generated using the computer processor; associating one or more visual element parameters of the at least one physical light element with each of the one or more visual notes, the visual element parameters comprising at least one of color, intensity, chromaticity, gamma value, alpha channel, rapidity, duration, hue, saturation, red green blue coloring, cyan magenta yellow key coloring, vector positioning, vector displacement, and brightness, of the at least one physical light element; generating a control sequence from the one or more visual notes on the visual staff and a timing sequence indicated at least in part by relative positioning of the one or more visual notes on the visual staff, the control sequence adapted to control operation of the at least one physical light element of the visual presentation system; and including the control sequence in an output data stream coupled with the visual presentation system.
