Abstract:
A follow spot controller and method are provided that store first and second sets of individual pan and tilt parameters for each of a plurality of automated luminaires and calibrate a 3-D model of a surface of a performance area and location and mounting orientations of the automated luminaires relative to the performance area, based on the stored sets of individual pan and tilt parameters. A physical orientation of the follow spot controller is sensed and operator pan and tilt parameters are sent to one of the automated luminaires. The operator pan and tilt parameters are based on the physical orientation of the follow spot controller. Individual calculated pan and tilt parameters are sent to each of the other automated luminaires. The individual calculated pan and tilt parameters are based on the operator pan and tilt parameters and the 3-D model.

Claim (Index 1):
A follow spot control system, comprising:\n a memory; a processor electrically coupled to the memory and configured to execute instructions received from the memory; and a communication interface electrically coupled to the processor, the communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of automated luminaires, wherein the processor is further configured to:\n store in the memory first and second sets of individual pan and tilt parameters for each of the plurality of automated luminaires; \n calibrate a three-dimensional (3-D) model of (i) a surface of a performance area and (ii) locations and mounting orientations of the plurality of automated luminaires relative to the performance area, where the calibration is based on the stored first and second sets of individual pan and tilt parameters; \n sense a change in a physical orientation of the follow spot controller, \n send operator pan and tilt parameters to a first automated luminaire of the plurality of automated luminaires via the communication interface, the operator pan and tilt parameters based on the sensed change in the physical orientation of the follow spot controller, and \n send individual calculated pan and tilt parameters to each of the remainder of the plurality of automated luminaires via the communication interface, the individual calculated pan and tilt parameters based on (i) the operator pan and tilt parameters of the first automated luminaire and (ii) the 3-D model.
