System and method for recording and playback of effects of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting devices

Abstract

Provided is a system and method for recording and playback of the effects of light-emitting diode (LED) lighting devices. The method comprises the steps: 1 a network card of a computer is initialized; 2 a lighting control system based on an Art-Net protocol transmits an Art-Net data package to different lighting devices to enable the lighting devices to produce the lighting effects; 3 a recording system monitors an Art-Net port and captures the Art-Net data package of the Art-Net port based on a user datagram protocol (UDP); 4 the captured Art-Net data package is memorized in an internal memory; 5 data in the internal memory are analyzed, a repeat mode in the data is looked up, repeated data of the playing effects are deleted, and accordingly the number of frame data and the frame data of one playing effect are determined; 6 the determined data of one playing effect are saved to a local disk, serve as a record file and are used for effect playing; 7 a playing system obtains the record file to perform repeated playing.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of LED lighting, in particular to a system and method for recording and replaying effects of LED lighting equipment. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the development of software and hardware technology, the use of stage lighting has become more and more popular. The lighting controller achieves some complex effects by receiving Art-Net data packets. These complex effects This can be done via computer software or directly via a control device. [0003] In the control process of sending Art-Net data packets, accuracy and real-time are the most important assessment objectives. There are some excellent control software among them, such as Madrix control software. Madrix control software is a commercial software, which has some built-in effects that can be previewed, and provides some configurable interface for users to flexibly control playback paramete...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Some programming interfaces are also provided, and some more complex playback effects can be customized through programming methods. However, due to the high cost of purchasing Madrix software, it has restricted a large number of applications in the market, and some customers need to consider this aspect a bit

The traditional method of controlling the sending of Art-Net data packets through the console is simple and feasible, but it seems a bit powerless when controlling some complex effects. At the same time, sophisticated high-end equipment is accompanied by complex operations and debugging processes. It takes a long time to debug, and an advanced console is also a big expense
