Description

[Technical field]

[0001] An embodiment of the present invention relates to a lighting control console for controlling a lighting fixture and a lighting system. [Background technology]

[0002] For example, in stage lighting or studio lighting, multiple lighting fixtures are used and these multiple lighting fixtures are controlled by a lighting console. The lighting fixtures installed in each stage or studio may be the same, such as cyclorama lights, but may be made by different manufacturers.

[0003] Conventionally, lighting fixtures use halogen bulbs as light sources and adjust the light color to the desired color using color filters. In this case, there was no problem of light color deviation even when scene data created for lighting fixtures from one manufacturer was applied to lighting fixtures from another manufacturer.

[0004] In recent years, lighting fixtures used for stage lighting and studio lighting are increasingly using light-emitting elements such as LEDs as light sources, making it possible to adjust the light color by combining red, green, and blue light-emitting elements.

[0005] However, since lighting fixtures from different manufacturers do not necessarily have the same chromaticity, number, and output of light-emitting elements of each color, when scene data created for lighting fixtures from one manufacturer is applied to lighting fixtures from another manufacturer, there is a problem that the light color will shift and the desired light cannot be reproduced.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] JP 2002-43072 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a lighting console and a lighting system capable of reproducing a desired light color. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The lighting control console of the embodiment includes a storage unit and a determination unit. The storage unit stores first lighting device identification information of a first lighting device equipped with multiple types of first light-emitting elements that can be individually controlled and light emission intensity information of each of the first light-emitting elements equipped in the first lighting device, in association with each other, as a first operating condition. The determination unit stores a first operating condition based on second lighting device identification information of a second lighting device different from the first lighting device equipped with multiple types of second light-emitting elements that can be individually controlled. Identification information of each of the plurality of lighting devices including the first lighting device and the second lighting device and information on the light-emitting element mounted on each of the plurality of lighting devices are associated and registered. The second operating condition of the second lighting device is determined using second light-emitting element information of a second light-emitting element installed in the second lighting device identified by referring to the device information database, and light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting device under the first operating condition estimated by referring to the device information database based on the first operating condition.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0012] Fig. 1 shows a lighting system 10. The lighting system 10 is used, for example, for stage lighting or studio lighting. The lighting system 10 includes a plurality of lighting fixtures 11, a lighting console 12 that controls the plurality of lighting fixtures 11, and communication means 13 that connects the plurality of lighting fixtures 11 and the lighting console 12 so that they can communicate with each other in both directions.

[0013] The lighting fixtures 11 include various fixtures such as spotlights and horizon lights used for stage lighting and studio lighting. The lighting fixtures 11 are divided into lighting fixtures 11 included in first lighting fixtures 21 and lighting fixtures 11 included in second lighting fixtures 22.

[0014] First lighting device 21 is equipped with multiple types of first light-emitting elements that can be controlled individually. For example, the first lighting device 21 is a device that can adjust the color of light emitted from the first lighting device 21 by combining at least red, green, and blue first light-emitting elements. Note that the first light-emitting elements may include amber, cyan, lime, mint, white, and the like in addition to red, green, and blue.

[0015] The first lighting fixture 21 stores at least first lighting fixture identification information such as a model number and a name, and can transmit this first lighting fixture identification information to the lighting operation console 12 connected by the communication means 13. The first lighting fixture 21 may store information including the emission intensity information and color information of each of the first light-emitting elements as first light-emitting element information in addition to the first lighting fixture identification information, and can transmit this first light-emitting element information to the lighting operation console 12 connected by the communication means 13. By configuring in this way, it is possible to obtain the first lighting fixture identification information and additional information from the first lighting fixture 21 without going through an external network. In other words, when using the first lighting fixture 21 in a studio where an external network environment is not in place, it is possible to omit the trouble of reading out the first lighting fixture identification information and additional information stored in a medium such as a USB memory.

[0016] The first lighting fixture 21 is, for example, a fixture made by a single manufacturer, a fixture for which a first operating condition, which is scene data, is created by the lighting control console 12, and a fixture that is controlled by the lighting control console 12 under the first operating condition.

[0017] FIG. 1 shows an example of a single spotlight as first lighting fixture 21, but first lighting fixture 21 may include multiple fixtures of the same model, or may include multiple fixtures of different models, such as a spotlight and a horizon light.

[0018] The second lighting device 22 is equipped with multiple types of second light-emitting elements that can be controlled individually. For example, the second lighting device 22 is a device that can adjust the color of light emitted from the second lighting device 22 by combining at least red, green, and blue second light-emitting elements. The second light-emitting elements may include amber, cyan, lime, mint, white, and the like in addition to red, green, and blue.

[0019] Second lighting fixture 22 at least stores second lighting fixture identification information such as a model number and a name, and is capable of transmitting this second lighting fixture identification information to lighting console 12 connected via communication means 13. Note that second lighting fixture 22 may store information including emission intensity information and color information of each of the second light-emitting elements as second light-emitting element information in addition to the second lighting fixture identification information, and be capable of transmitting this second light-emitting element information to lighting console 12 connected via communication means 13.

[0020] The second lighting fixture 22 may be, for example, a fixture made by a manufacturer different from that of the first lighting fixture 21, or may be made by the same manufacturer as that of the first lighting fixture 21 but with a different model number from that of the first lighting fixture 21. In other words, the first lighting fixture 21 and the second lighting fixture 22 are fixtures that do not match (are different) in at least one of the chromaticity (including peak wavelength and dominant wavelength), number, output, and size of the light emitting elements mounted thereon. For example, as shown in the xy chromaticity diagram of FIG. 2, the color coordinates of the red, green, and blue first light emitting elements of the first lighting fixture 21 are different from the color coordinates of the red, green, and blue second light emitting elements of the second lighting fixture 22. Therefore, for example, when the first operating conditions created for the first lighting fixture 21 are applied to the second lighting fixture 22, the brightness and light color of the light irradiated from the second lighting fixture 22 and the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 may differ from each other, and the desired light color may not be obtained. Further, the second lighting fixture 22 is a fixture made by a manufacturer different from the manufacturer of the first lighting fixture 21, and the other manufacturers include cases where the fixture is made by one manufacturer, as well as cases where the fixture is made by multiple manufacturers. In other words, the second lighting fixture 22 includes a third lighting fixture, a fourth lighting fixture, etc., all made by different manufacturers.

[0021] FIG. 1 shows an example of a single horizon light as the second lighting fixture 22, but the second lighting fixture 22 may include multiple fixtures of the same model, or may include multiple different models of fixtures, such as a spotlight and a horizon light.

[0022] The multiple lighting fixtures 11 connected to the lighting console 12 via a predetermined communication means 13 may include, for example, a case where only the first lighting fixture 21 is used, a case where only the second lighting fixture 22 is used, or a case where the first lighting fixture 21 and the second lighting fixture 22 are mixed, depending on, for example, each stage or each studio. In other words, for example, the case where the first lighting fixture 21 is used in studio A and the second lighting fixture 22 is used in studio B is also included, and the case where the first lighting fixture 21 and the second lighting fixture 22 are used in studio A is also included.

[0023] In addition, the lighting control console 12 communicates bidirectionally with multiple lighting fixtures 11, including a first lighting fixture 21 and a second lighting fixture 22, connected via a predetermined communication means 13, and controls each lighting fixture 11 according to the scene on stage or in the studio.

[0024] The lighting console 12 includes a control unit 30 that controls the lighting console 12, and a storage unit 31 that stores various information. The lighting console 12 further includes a lighting fixture information collection unit 32 and a determination unit 33 in the control unit 30.

[0025] The memory unit 31 is capable of associating the first lighting fixture identification information of the first lighting fixture 21 with the light emission intensity information (first light emission intensity information) of each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 and storing them as a first operating condition, which is scene data.

[0026] For example, Fig. 3 shows a table of various information including model numbers and light emission intensity information stored in the storage unit 31 as first operating conditions. The storage unit 31 stores light emission intensity information of each of the first light emitting elements of red, green, and blue for each of a plurality of scenes 1 to 5, which are associated with the model numbers, as first operating conditions. The first operating conditions may or may not include INT (intensity) for each of scenes 1 to 5, xy color coordinates, and target color information such as a filter number and an arbitrarily given color name. The filter number and filter name here are information indicating which number or name of the conventionally used color filter corresponds to the color produced in each scene.

[0027] The lighting fixture information collection unit 32 is capable of collecting first lighting fixture identification information and second lighting fixture identification information from the first lighting fixture 21 and the second lighting fixture 22 connected via the communication means 13.

[0028] The judgment unit 33 judges the second operating condition, which is scene data of the second lighting fixture 22, using second light-emitting element information of the second light-emitting element mounted in the second lighting fixture 22, which is identified by referring to a specific fixture information database 34 based on the second lighting fixture identification information collected by the lighting fixture information collection unit 32, i.e., second light-emitting element information including light emission intensity information and color information of each of the second light-emitting elements, and light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition, which is estimated by referring to the fixture information database 34 based on the first operating condition.

[0029] The judgment unit 33 estimates the light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition using first light-emitting element information of the first lighting fixture 21, which includes light emission intensity information of each first light-emitting element mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 and color information of each first light-emitting element mounted on the first lighting fixture 21, which are associated with first lighting fixture identification information included in the fixture information database 34.

[0030] The determination of the second operating condition by determination unit 33 is made so that second lighting device 22 reproduces the light color information of the light emitted from first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition.

[0031] Then, the first lighting fixture 21 connected to the lighting control console 12 is controlled under a first operating condition, and the second lighting fixture 22 connected to the lighting control console 12 is controlled under a second operating condition determined by the determination unit 33, so that the desired light color is reproduced in both the first lighting fixture 21 and the second lighting fixture 22.

[0032] Furthermore, the device information database 34 may exist on a predetermined website (e.g., https: / / gdtf-share.com / ) or cloud connected to the lighting control console 12 via, for example, a predetermined network 35, or may be provided in the lighting control console 12. When the lighting control console 12 is provided with the device information database 34, the lighting control console 12 and the device information database 34 do not need to be connected via the predetermined network 35.

[0033] In the device information database 34, for each device of each manufacturer, lighting device identification information such as model number and name and each light-emitting element information including light-emitting intensity information and color information of each light-emitting element mounted on each device are registered in association with each other. For example, as shown in FIG. 4, for each model number, output ratio as light-emitting intensity information and xy color coordinates as color information are registered for each light-emitting element of red, green, and blue. In addition to red, green, and blue, the light-emitting elements may include amber, cyan, lime, mint, and white. The output ratio is, for example, a luminous flux ratio, but any parameter can be used as long as it is a ratio of light output such as an illuminance ratio or a luminance ratio. Furthermore, as the output ratio, an absolute value such as a maximum output may be input, or a ratio of absolute values ​​such as a maximum output may be input. Furthermore, the color coordinates may be the standard color (25° C., rated current) of each light-emitting element, or may be the color coordinates of each light-emitting element when outputting at the above-mentioned output ratio (for example, at 25° C.). Furthermore, the information in the device information database 34 is updated by manual input or automatically updated by sensor linkage. In the case of sensor linkage, it is preferable that the information is updated in association with the model number of the lighting fixture 11. Furthermore, each piece of light-emitting element information may be registered in the fixture information database 34 in association with the manufacturer name of the light-emitting element and the model number of the light-emitting element.

[0034] The lighting control console 12 makes it possible to view information in the appliance information database 34 and also makes it possible to download specific information from the appliance information database 34 in a specified file format and a specified compressed format, and makes the downloaded information readable, for example, in a spreadsheet program.

[0035] In addition, the communication means 13 converts signals of communication protocols such as the RDM (Remote Device Management) standard, which is an extension of the DMX (Digital Multiplex) standard, into signals of communication methods such as Art-net, Ethernet (registered trademark), and LAN, enabling bidirectional communication between the multiple lighting fixtures 11 and the lighting control console 12 via wired or wireless communication.

[0036] Then, a first embodiment of the operation of the lighting console 12 will be described with reference to the flow chart of FIG.

[0037] First lighting fixture 21 is connected to lighting control console 12 via communication means 13 (step S1).

[0038] The lighting fixture information collection unit 32 of the lighting control console 12 collects first lighting fixture identification information from the first lighting fixture 21 (step S2). The first lighting fixture identification information here includes at least one of individual information such as the manufacturer, fixture model number, fixture name, and fixture type of the first lighting fixture 21. The first lighting fixture identification information does not have to be collected from the first lighting fixture 21. For example, the first lighting fixture identification information may be manually input to the lighting control console 12 using an input interface such as a keyboard or touch panel, or may be input from outside via a storage medium such as a USB memory.

[0039] The lighting control console 12 creates light emission intensity information for each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 according to the collected first lighting fixture identification information (step S3). The light emission intensity information may be acquired (created) by referring to the fixture information database 34 based on the first lighting fixture identification information, or may be collected from the first lighting fixture 21 if the first lighting fixture 21 stores light emission intensity information. If the first lighting fixture identification information is known in advance, step S2 may be omitted and step S3 may be performed after step S1, or step S1 may be performed after step S3.

[0040] The lighting control console 12 stores the first lighting device identification information and the light emission intensity information of each of the first light emitting elements in association with each other as a first operating condition in the storage unit 31 (step S4).

[0041] The first operating condition may be created by acquiring the first operating condition created by another lighting console 12 via a predetermined storage medium or a predetermined network. In this case, this lighting console 12 does not need to execute the operation of creating the first operating condition in steps 1 to 4. Furthermore, when acquiring the first operating condition created by another lighting console 12 via a predetermined storage medium or a predetermined network in this way, storage of the first operating condition in storage unit 31 may also include a case where the first operating condition is temporarily stored for processing by judgment unit 33.

[0042] Then, second lighting fixture 22 is connected to lighting control console 12 by communication means 13 (step S5).

[0043] The lighting fixture information collection unit 32 of the lighting control console 12 collects the second lighting fixture identification information from the second lighting fixture 22 (step S6). The second lighting fixture identification information does not have to be collected from the second lighting fixture 22. For example, the first lighting fixture identification information may be manually input to the lighting control console 12 using an input interface such as a keyboard or a touch panel, or may be input from outside via a storage medium such as a USB memory.

[0044] The judgment unit 33 of the lighting control console 12 estimates the light color information of the light emitted from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition (step S7), and judges the second operating condition so as to reproduce the light color information of the light emitted from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition in the second lighting fixture 22 (step S8).

[0045] The light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition estimated in step S7 is information such as chromaticity coordinates (xy coordinate system, uv coordinate system, etc.), color temperature (K), color deviation (duv), color rendering index (R1 to R15, Ra, etc.), etc., and at least one of these pieces of information is estimated.

[0046] Then, in step S8, the second operating condition is determined based on the light color information of the light estimated in step S7. Here, the second operating condition is determined so that the light irradiated from the second lighting device 22 under the second operating condition matches the light color information of the light estimated in step S7. At this time, the second operating condition may be configured to be able to set information that does not necessarily have to match, and may be configured to be able to register second lighting device light color restriction information as an allowable range of the light irradiated from the second lighting device 22. For example, if the color temperature is set to ±10K as the second lighting device light color restriction information, the second operating condition is set so that the color temperature falls within a range of ±10K with respect to the color temperature estimated in the first operating condition when determining the second operating condition in step S8. Also, for example, if the color temperature is set to +500K as the second lighting device light color restriction information, the second operating condition is set so that the color temperature is +500K with respect to the color temperature estimated in the first operating condition when determining the second operating condition in step S8.

[0047] A second embodiment of the operation of the lighting console 12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of Fig. 6. Although a detailed description will be omitted, the above description can be applied as is to the same operations as those in the flowchart of Fig. 5.

[0048] First lighting fixture 21 is connected to lighting control console 12 via communication means 13 (step S11).

[0049] The lighting fixture information collection unit 32 of the lighting control console 12 collects first lighting fixture identification information from the first lighting fixture 21 (step S12).

[0050] The lighting control console 12 creates light emission intensity information for each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 according to the collected first lighting fixture identification information (step S13). The light emission intensity information may be created by referring to the fixture information database 34 based on the first lighting fixture identification information, or may be collected from the first lighting fixture 21 if the first lighting fixture 21 stores light emission intensity information.

[0051] The determination unit 33 of the lighting control console 12 estimates light color information of the light emitted from the first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition (step S14).

[0052] The lighting control console 12 stores in the memory unit 31 the first lighting device identification information, the light emission intensity information of each of the first light-emitting elements, and the light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition in association with each other as the first operating condition (step S15).

[0053] The first operating condition may be created by acquiring the first operating condition created by another lighting console 12 via a predetermined storage medium or a predetermined network. In this case, this lighting console 12 does not need to perform the operation of creating the first operating condition in steps 11 to 15. Furthermore, when acquiring the first operating condition created by another lighting console 12 via a predetermined storage medium or a predetermined network in this way, storage of the first operating condition in storage unit 31 may also include a case where the first operating condition is temporarily stored for processing by judgment unit 33.

[0054] Then, second lighting fixture 22 is connected to lighting control console 12 by communication means 13 (step S16).

[0055] The lighting fixture information collection unit 32 of the lighting control console 12 collects second lighting fixture identification information from the second lighting fixture 22 (step S17).

[0056] The determining unit 33 of the lighting control console 12 determines the second operating condition so that the light color information of the light emitted from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition is reproduced by the second lighting fixture 22 (step S18).

[0057] The determination operation of the determination unit 33 in the above-mentioned first and second embodiments will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

[0058] Based on the first lighting fixture identification information, the fixture information database 34 is referenced, and first light-emitting element information including light emission intensity information and color information of each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 is identified and acquired (step S21).

[0059] From the light emission intensity information and color information of the acquired first light-emitting element information, light color information of the light emitted from first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition is estimated (step S22).

[0060] The operations in steps S21 and S22 correspond to the operation performed in step S7 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, and correspond to the operation performed in step S14 in the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0061] Based on the second lighting fixture identification information collected by the lighting fixture information collecting unit 32, the lighting fixture information database 34 is referenced, and second light-emitting element information of each of the second light-emitting elements mounted on the second lighting fixture 22, that is, second light-emitting element information including light emission intensity information and color information of each of the second light-emitting elements, is identified and acquired (step S23). Note that in the above-mentioned first embodiment, this operation may be performed at any stage, for example, before, after, or during the estimation of light color information under the first operating condition.

[0062] The output ratio of each second light-emitting element for reproducing in second lighting device 22 the light color information of the light irradiated from first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition is determined (step S24). In this step S24, the light color of the light irradiated from second lighting device 22 under the second operating condition is determined. As described above, at this time, the additional information may include information that the color is different from that under the first operating condition. This additional information may include information that the color has a color temperature that is different by XXXK from that under the first operating condition.

[0063] An output (absolute value) that reproduces the brightness of light emitted from first lighting device 21 under the first operating condition as the brightness of light emitted from second lighting device 22 is determined (step S25). In step S25, the brightness of light emitted from second lighting device 22 under the second operating condition is determined. Note that this output (absolute value) may be determined by multiplying the output ratio of each second light-emitting element determined in step 24 by a positive number, or by adjusting INT (intensity).

[0064] In this manner, a second operating condition is determined in which the light color information of the light emitted from first lighting device 21 in the first operating condition is reproduced as light color information of light emitted from second lighting device 22 (step S26).

[0065] The operations from step S23 to step S26 correspond to the operation performed in step S8 in the flowchart shown in FIG. 5, and correspond to the operation performed in step S18 in the flowchart shown in FIG.

[0066] Then, the lighting control console 12 controls the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition, and controls the second lighting fixture 22 under the second operating condition determined by the determination unit 33.

[0067] If a first operating condition, which is scene data created for a first lighting fixture 21 made by one manufacturer, is applied to a second lighting fixture 22 made by another manufacturer, a deviation in light color will occur.

[0068] In the lighting control console 12 of the present embodiment, a second operating condition is determined in which the light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition is reproduced as light color information of the light irradiated from the second lighting fixture 22, and by controlling the second lighting fixture 22 under this second operating condition, the light color discrepancy between the light color of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 and the light color of the light irradiated from the second lighting fixture 22 is reduced, and the desired light color can be reproduced using the second lighting fixture 22.

[0069] In addition, the second operating condition, which is scene data of the second lighting fixture 22, can be determined using second light-emitting element information of the second light-emitting element mounted in the second lighting fixture 22, which is identified by referring to a specific fixture information database 34 based on the second lighting fixture identification information collected by the lighting fixture information collecting unit 32, i.e., second light-emitting element information including light emission intensity information and color information of each of the second light-emitting elements, and light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 under the first operating condition, which is estimated by referring to the fixture information database 34 based on the first operating condition.

[0070] Furthermore, the light color information of the light irradiated from the first lighting fixture 21 under this first operating condition can be estimated using first light-emitting element information of the first lighting fixture 21, which includes light emission intensity information of each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21 and color information of each of the first light-emitting elements mounted on the first lighting fixture 21, associated with the first lighting fixture identification information included in the fixture information database 34.

[0071] Although some embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the invention.
