Description
Lichtstellpult mit Drehregler und Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Lichtstellpults mit Drehregler Lighting console with rotary control and method for operating a lighting console with rotary control
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Lichtstellpult mit Drehregler und ein Verfah- ren zum Betrieb eines Lichtstellpults mit Drehregler nach dem Oberbegriff der unabhängigen Hauptansprüche. The invention relates to a light control desk with rotary control and a method for operating a light control desk with rotary control according to the preamble of the independent main claims.
Gattungsgemäße Lichtstellpulte dienen zur Steuerung von Beleuchtungsanlagen, wie sie beispielsweise in Theatern oder Konzertbühnen zum Einsatz kommen. Diese Beleuchtungsanlagen umfassen regelmäßig eine Vielzahl von Beleuchtungseinrichtungen, beispielsweise Bühnenscheinwerfer, wobei die Beleuchtungseinrichtungen vielfach auch noch für sich genommen zwischen einer Vielzahl von Beleuchtungszuständen, beispielsweise unterschiedlichen Farben, umgeschaltet werden können. Diese unterschiedlichen Beleuchtungszustände der jeweils an das Licht- stellpult angeschlo ssenen Beleuchtungseinrichtungen können durch programmierte Parameter im Beleuchtungsprogramm des Lichtstellpults gesteuert werden. Übliche Beleuchtungsanlagen können dabei bis zu mehreren Tausend Beleuchtungseinrichtungen umfas sen. Um derart komplexe Beleuchtungsanlagen steuern zu können, sind die gattungsge- mäßen Lichtstellpulte mit einem Digitalprozessor ausgestattet, der eine digitale Daten- und Signalverarbeitung erlaubt. Zur Speicherung der Daten ist regelmäßig ein Digitalspeicher vorgesehen, der es insbesondere ermöglicht, Beleuchtungsprogramme zu speichern bzw. zu archivieren. Generic lighting desks are used to control lighting systems, such as those used for example in theaters or concert stages. These lighting installations regularly comprise a multiplicity of lighting devices, for example stage lights, wherein the lighting devices can in many cases also be switched on their own between a multiplicity of lighting states, for example different colors. These different illumination states of the respective lighting devices connected to the lighting console can be controlled by programmed parameters in the lighting program of the lighting console. Usual lighting systems can sen up to several thousand lighting devices. In order to be able to control such complex lighting systems, the generic lighting desks are equipped with a digital processor which allows digital data and signal processing. To save the Data is regularly provided a digital memory, which in particular makes it possible to store or archive lighting programs.
Zur Programmierung des Beleuchtungsprogramms bzw . zur Steuerung des Beleuchtungsprogramms während eines Ablaufs müs sen vom Bedie- ner Bedienbefehle als Eingabewerte eingegeben werden. Dabei kann es sich beispielsweise um die Auswahl einer bestimmten Beleuchtungseinrichtung bzw. um die Einstellung eines bestimmten Parameters handeln. Für die Eingabe dieser Bedienbefehle sind an bekannten Lichtstellpulten mechanische Bedienelemente, beispielsweise Taster, Drehregler oder Schieberegler, vorhanden. Die den einzelnen Bedienelementen zugeordnete Bedienbefehle können dabei durch geeignete Menüumschaltungen verändert werden, um entsprechend komplexe Beleuchtungsprogramme programmieren und steuern zu können. For programming the lighting program resp. To control the lighting program during a run, operator commands must be entered as input values by the operator. This can be, for example, the selection of a specific lighting device or the setting of a specific parameter. For the input of these operating commands mechanical controls, such as buttons, knobs or sliders are available on known lighting desks. The individual controls associated with operating commands can be changed by appropriate menu switches to program and control corresponding complex lighting programs can.
Bei den bekannten Lichtstellpulten ist weiterhin eine Anzeigeeinrichtung zur elektronischen Anzeige von Bildelementen vorgesehen, um dem Bediener die Programmierung bzw. Steuerung des Lichtstellpults zu ermöglichen. Zwischen den einzelnen Bedienelementen zur Eingabe von Bedienbefehlen und der Anzeigeeinrichtung zur Anzeige von Bildelementen, bei denen es sich beispielsweise um die numerische oder graphi- sehe Darstellung der zuvor eingegebenen Eingabedaten handeln kann, besteht ein örtlicher Abstand. Der örtliche Abstand kann dabei abhängig von der Anordnung zwischen dem Bedienelement und der Anzeigeeinrichtung 50 cm oder mehr betragen. Dieser örtliche Abstand erschwert die intuitive Bedienung des Lichtstellpults , da der Bediener aufgrund des örtlichen Abstands das Bedienelement selbst und die Anzeigeeinrichtung nicht gleichzeitig im Auge behalten kann. Insbesondere bei der Programmierung des Lichtstellpults mittels der Eingabe von Bedienbefehlen an Drehreglern ist dies von erheblichem Nachteil. In the known light control desks, a display device for the electronic display of picture elements is furthermore provided in order to enable the operator to program or control the light control desk. There is a local distance between the individual operating elements for inputting operating commands and the display device for displaying picture elements, which may be, for example, the numerical or graphical representation of the previously inputted input data. The local distance may be 50 cm or more, depending on the arrangement between the operating element and the display device. This local spacing makes intuitive operation of the lighting console difficult because the operator can not keep track of the control itself and the display at the same time because of the local distance. This is a considerable disadvantage, in particular when programming the lighting console by means of the input of operating commands to rotary encoders.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es deshalb, ein Lichtstellpult mit Drehregler vorzuschlagen, das eine weitgehend intuitive Bedienung bei der Eingabe von Eingabebefehlen ermöglicht. Weiter ist es Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, ein Verfahren zur Benutzung des erfindungsgemäßen Lichtstellpults vorzuschlagen. Object of the present invention is therefore to propose a light control panel with knob that allows a largely intuitive operation when entering input commands. Next it is the task of present invention to propose a method for using the lighting console according to the invention.
Diese Aufgaben werden durch ein Lichtstellpult bzw. ein Verfahren zum Betrieb eines Lichtstellpults nach der Lehre der beiden unabhängigen Hauptansprüche gelö st. These objects are solving by a light control panel or a method for operating a lighting console according to the teaching of the two independent main claims.
Das erfindungsgemäße Lichtstellpult wird dadurch charakterisiert, dass an der zum Benutzer weisenden Sichtseite des Drehreglers ein elektronisches Anzeigedisplay vorgesehen ist. Durch dieses zusätzliche am The light control desk according to the invention is characterized in that an electronic display display is provided on the user-facing visible side of the rotary control. By this additional on
Drehregler angeordnete Anzeigedisplay wird es möglich, dem Bediener am Anzeigedisplay unmittelbar Bildinhalte anzuzeigen, die im Zusammenhang mit der Einstellung des Drehreglers stehen. Durch die unmittelbare örtliche Anordnung des zusätzlichen Anzeigedisplays am Drehregler wird also die intuitive Bedienung des Lichtstellpults bei der Programmierung von Bedienbefehlen durch Verstellung des Drehreglers maßgeb- lieh verbes sert. Rotary control dial, it is possible to immediately display on the display screen image content related to the setting of the rotary control. Due to the direct local arrangement of the additional display on the rotary knob, the intuitive operation of the lighting console during the programming of operating commands by adjusting the rotary knob is significantly improved verbes sert.
Welche Geometrie das Anzeigedisplay am Drehregler aufweist, ist grundsätzlich beliebig . Bei bekannten Lichtstellpulten weisen die The geometry of the display on the knob is basically arbitrary. In known lighting desks have the
Drehregler üblicherweise einen kreisförmigen oder kreisabschnittsförmi- gen Außenumfang auf. Um die an der Sichtseite des Drehreglers vorhan- dene Fläche für die Anzeige von Bildinhalten möglichst vollständig ausnutzen zu können, ist es deshalb besonders vorteilhaft, wenn das Anzeigedisplay einen kreisförmigen oder kreisab schnittsförmigen Außenumfang aufweist, der mit der Geometrie der zur Verfügung stehenden Fläche an der Sichtseite des Drehreglers übereinstimmt. Welche Anzeigetechnik zur Realisation des Anzeigedisplays am Drehregler Verwendung findet, ist ebenfalls weitgehend beliebig. Insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Realisation von kreisförmigen oder kreisabschnitts- förmigen Anzeigedisplays ist es jedoch besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Bildpixel des Anzeigedisplays von OLED-Elementen gebildet werden. Derartige OLED-Anzeigedisplays sind technisch verfügbar und können in weitgehend beliebigen Geometrien gefertigt werden. Knob usually a circular or kreisabschnittsförmi- gene outer circumference. In order to be able to fully exploit the surface for the display of image contents present on the visible side of the rotary control, it is therefore particularly advantageous if the display display has a circular or kreisab-shaped outer circumference, with the geometry of the available surface on the View side of the rotary control matches. Which display technology is used for the realization of the display display on the rotary control, is also largely arbitrary. However, in particular with regard to the realization of circular or circular segment-shaped display displays, it is particularly advantageous if the image pixels of the display screen are formed by OLED elements. Such OLED display displays are technically available and can be manufactured in largely arbitrary geometries.
Das zusätzliche Anzeigedisplay kann in der einfachsten Form einfach auf der Sichtseite eines vorhandenen Drehreglers befestigt werden. Aller- dings ist dann eine besondere Art des elektrischen Anschlusses des Anzeigedisplays notwendig, da der Drehregler beim Betrieb des Lichtstellpults rotatorisch verdreht wird, so dass auch die elektrischen Verbindungsleitungen zwischen dem Anzeigedisplay einerseits und dem Gehäuse des Lichtstellpults andererseits eine entsprechende rotatorische Verstellung ermöglichen müs sen. Dazu können beispielsweise Schleifkontakte am Drehregler vorgesehen werden. Um den elektrischen An- schlus s des Anzeigedisplays auf dem Drehregler zu vereinfachen, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der Drehregler aus einem rotatorisch verstellbaren Stellelement und einem starr am Lichtstellpult befestigten Anzeigeelement zusammengesetzt ist. Die Bedienbefehle können dann durch rotatorische Verstellung des Stellelements vom Benutzer eingegeben werden. Das starr am Gehäuse des Lichtstellpults befestigte Anzeigeelement dient dagegen der Befestigung des Anzeigedisplays . Da das Anzeigedisplay auf diese Weise selb st nicht an der rotatorischen Verstel- lung des Stellelements teilnimmt, kann eine entsprechend einfache elektrische Verbindungstechnik zur Verbindung des Anzeigeelements mit der Steuerung des Lichtstellpults, beispielsweise durch Verwendung einfacher Steckkabel, eingesetzt werden . The additional display display can be easily mounted in the simplest form on the visible side of an existing rotary control. However, then a special type of electrical connection of the display is necessary because the knob is rotatably rotated during operation of the light control desk, so that the electrical connecting lines between the display and the housing of the light console on the other hand must enable a corresponding rotational adjustment sen. For this example, sliding contacts can be provided on the knob. In order to simplify the electrical connection of the display display on the rotary control, it is particularly advantageous if the rotary control is composed of a rotatably adjustable control element and a display element fixed rigidly to the light control desk. The operating commands can then be entered by rotational adjustment of the actuator by the user. The display element rigidly attached to the housing of the lighting console, on the other hand, serves to fasten the display display. Since the display screen does not participate in the rotational adjustment of the control element in this manner, a correspondingly simple electrical connection technology can be used to connect the display element to the control of the light control desk, for example by using simple plug-in cables.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist es , wenn das rotatorisch verstellbare Stellele- ment in der Art eines drehbar gelagerten Stellrings und das starr am Gehäuse des Lichtstellpults gelagerte Anzeigeelement in der Art eines Kreiselements ausgebildet sind, wobei das Kreiselement in der Mitte des Stellrings angeordnet wird. It is particularly advantageous if the rotatably adjustable actuating element in the manner of a rotatably mounted adjusting ring and the display element mounted rigidly on the housing of the lighting console are designed in the manner of a circular element, the circular element being arranged in the middle of the adjusting ring.
Das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren zur Benutzung des Lichtstellpults umfas st folgende charakteristische Verfahrensschritte: a) Berechnung von elektronischen Bilddaten zur Anzeige eines Bildinhalts am Anzeigedisplay eines Drehreglers im Digitalprozes sor des Lichtstellpults ; b) Übertragung der elektronischen Bilddaten an den Drehregler; c) Anzeige des Bildinhalts am Anzeigedisplay des Drehreglers . The inventive method for using the Lichtstellpults ent st the following characteristic steps: a) calculation of electronic image data for displaying an image content on the display screen of a rotary control in Digitalprozes sor the lighting console; b) transmission of the electronic image data to the dial; c) Display of the picture content on the display of the rotary control.
Um die intuitive Nutzung des Drehreglers durch die Anzeige von Bildinhalten am Anzeigedisplay weiter zu verbessern, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn der aktuelle Stellwinkel zwischen Drehregler und Lichtstellpult ausgewertet wird, um beispielsweise die Verstellung des Drehreglers durch die Bewegungen des Bedieners festzustellen. Dieser aktuelle Stellwinkel wird dann bei der Berechnung der Bilddaten zur Anzeige des Bildinhalts am Anzeigedisplay einberechnet, um beispielsweise den Relativwinkel des Bildinhalts zum Gehäuse des Lichtstellpults entsprechend anzupas sen. In order to further improve the intuitive use of the rotary control by the display of image content on the display screen, it is particularly advantageous if the current angle between control knob and light control panel is evaluated, for example, to determine the adjustment of the rotary control by the movements of the operator. This current setting angle is then included in the calculation of the image data for displaying the image content on the display screen, for example, sen to adjust the relative angle of the image content to the housing of the lighting console accordingly.
Soweit das Anzeigedisplay mit dem drehbaren Teil des Drehreglers verbunden ist, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn bei Änderung des Stellwinkels zwischen Drehregler und Lichtstellpult der Bildinhalt am Anzeigedisplay mit einem sich nicht ändernden Relativwinkel zum As far as the display screen is connected to the rotatable part of the knob, it is particularly advantageous if, when changing the adjustment angle between the knob and light control desk, the image content on the display with a non-changing relative angle to
Bedienfeld des Lichtstellpults angezeigt wird. Dadurch kann beispielsweise erreicht werden, das s bei Drehung des Drehreglers der am Control panel of the lighting console is displayed. This can be achieved, for example, the s on rotation of the knob on the
Drehregler angezeigte Bildinhalt gegenüber dem Gehäuse des Lichtstellpults scheinbar feststeht, so dass der Benutzer einen Seheindruck erhält, bei dem der am Anzeigedisplay angezeigte Bildinhalt nicht an der Drehbewegung des Drehreglers teilnimmt. Rotary control knob appears to be fixed relative to the housing of the lighting console, so that the user receives a visual impression in which the image content displayed on the display screen does not participate in the rotary movement of the rotary control.
Besonders vorteilhaft ist das erfindungsgemäße Verfahren bei der Programmierung und Steuerung von sogenannten Gobo-Elementen, die an das Lichtstellpult angeschlossen sind. Durch die Verstellung des The inventive method is particularly advantageous in the programming and control of so-called gobo elements which are connected to the light control desk. By the adjustment of the
Drehreglers kann dann ein Gobo-Element rotatorisch verstellt bzw. Knob then a gobo element rotatably adjusted or
programmiert werden, wobei am Anzeigedisplay ein symbolisiertes Gobo-Element angezeigt wird, des sen Relativwinkel zum Bedienfeld des Lichtstellpults sich entsprechend dem aktuellen Rotationswinkel des Gobo-Elements ändert. Insofern wird dem Bediener intuitiv die Stellung des Gobo-Elements in Abhängigkeit der Verstellung des Drehreglers angezeigt. be programmed, with a symbolized on the display Gobo element is displayed, the sen Relativwinkel to the control panel of the lighting console changes according to the current rotation angle of the gobo element. In this respect, the operator is intuitively displayed the position of the gobo element as a function of the adjustment of the rotary control.
