Abstract:
A follow spot controller is provided that communicates with a lighting control desk and with a first automated luminaire. A physical orientation of the follow spot controller is sensed and used to replace pan and tilt control parameters received from the lighting control desk for the first luminaire. The modified control parameters are sent to the first luminaire. A three-dimensional model of a performance area and the locations and orientations of the first luminaire and additional automated luminaires relative to the performance area may be used to calculate individual pan and tilt parameters for the additional luminaires based on the first luminaire's replacement pan and tilt parameters.

Claim (Index 1):
A follow spot controller, comprising:\n a memory; a processor electrically coupled to the memory, configured to execute instructions received from the memory, and configured to sense a physical orientation of the follow spot controller; and a communication interface electrically coupled to the processor, the communication interface comprising:\n a first communication link configured to communicate with a lighting control desk; and \n a second communication link configured to communicate unidirectionally with an automated luminaire, \n wherein the processor is further configured to receive control parameters sent to the automated luminaire from the lighting control desk, create modified control parameters by replacing pan and tilt parameters in the received control parameters with pan and tilt parameters based on the physical orientation of the follow spot controller, and send the modified control parameters to the automated luminaire.
