    摘要: A method of controlling a plurality of follow spots is provided. Pan and tilt orientation of a mounting mechanism for a follow spot controller is sensed. Operator pan and tilt parameters based on the sensed pan and tilt of the mounting mechanism are sent to a first automated luminaire. Individual calculated pan and tilt parameters are sent to each of the other automated luminaires, based on the pan and tilt parameters of the first automated luminaire and a three-dimensional model of a surface of a performance area and individual locations and mounting orientations of each of the plurality of automated luminaires relative to the performance area.

    摘要: An optical system and luminaire are provided. The luminaire includes a plurality of LED die sets, a plurality of light pipes corresponding to the LED die sets, and a plurality of light pipe holders corresponding to the light pipes. Each of the LED die sets includes a plurality of LED dies. The LED dies of at least one LED die set emit light beams of a plurality of colors that corresponds to the plurality of LED dies. The light pipe holders are configured to hold their light pipes in positions optically coupled to corresponding LED die sets. The light pipe corresponding to the at least one LED die set has an output face, an input face to receive a light beam, and a body extending from the input face to the output face. A cross-section of the body rotates along a central axis extending between the input face and the output face.

    摘要: An automated luminaire is provided that includes a luminaire head and a control system. The luminaire head includes a light engine module and a lens module. The light engine module has a light engine emitting a light beam and an effects module receiving the light beam and producing a modified light beam. The light engine module moves along an optical axis of the luminaire head. The lens module receives and projects the modified light beam and also moves along the optical axis of the luminaire head. The control system moves the light engine module and the lens module along the optical axis to position a center of mass of the luminaire head coincident with an axis of rotation of the luminaire head. The lens module may include a plurality of lens groups that move independently. The control system determines a desired beam angle and a desired focus and moves the light engine module and the plurality of lens groups accordingly.

    摘要: A zoom optical system and automated luminaire are provided. The zoom optical system includes a light source and compensator, variator, and objective lens groups. The light source illuminates an object in an object plane. The compensator lens group is optically coupled to the object without intervening lenses, has a positive optical power, six lenses, and moves relative to the object plane. The variator lens group is optically coupled to the compensator lens group without intervening lenses, has a negative optical power, three lenses, and moves relative to the object plane and the compensator group. The objective lens group is optically coupled to the variator lens group without intervening lenses, has a second positive optical power, three lenses, remains in a fixed position relative to the object plane, and projects an image of the object without intervening lenses between the objective lens group and the projected image.
