A lighting control console controls a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console, which commands can be transmitted to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data links. The lighting control console includes at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and wherein the lighting control console includes at least one display device for electronically displaying image elements, and wherein at least one rotary control is disposed in the operating panel of the lighting control console. The rotary control allows users to enter operating commands by rotating the rotary control. An electronic display field is disposed at the visible side of the rotary control visible to the user displays image contents related to the rotary control.

The invention relates to a method for operating a lighting control console for controlling a lighting system. The console provides a digital processor and memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands. The console also includes a display device and a color palette, including all selectable colors consecutively displayed as color gradients, for selecting a color to be graphically represented at the display device for the user. The display device has a touch-sensitive sensor surface, such that when touching the same within the region of a contact surface, the user can select the digital color parameters of a color from the displayed color palette. The console facilitates the selection of a digital color image and allows the user to select pixels of the color image by touching the touch-sensitive sensor surface. The console further processes color parameter combinations of the pixels selected by the user.

Method for operating a lighting control console during color selection

A method for operating a lighting control console () for controlling a lighting system, wherein digital adjusting commands are generated in the lighting control console (), which can be transferred to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data connections, and wherein the lighting control console () comprises at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjusting commands, and wherein the lighting control console () comprises at least one display unit (), and wherein graphical elements can be graphically depicted to the user on the display device (), and wherein the display device () exhibits a touch-sensitive sensor surface (), and wherein touching of the touch-sensitive sensor surface () at the display device () in the region of a contact surface () permits the selection of an operator input assigned to said contact surface (), comprising the following method steps of: 

Method for operating a lighting control console

A lighting control console for controlling a lighting system, wherein digital adjustment commands are generated in the lighting control console and can be transmitted to the lighting devices of the lighting system via data connections includes at least one digital processor and at least one digital memory for generating, managing and storing the adjustment commands, and at least one display unit. Graphical elements can be displayed graphically for the operator at the display unit on a display surface. The display unit is made of an at least partially transparent material in the region of the display surface, wherein the display unit can be switched between a transparency mode and a display mode, and wherein the display unit () is partially transparent upon activation of the transparency mode in the region of the display surface and enables the operator to look through the display surface. The display unit enables the graphical representation of graphical elements on the display surface for the operator upon activation of the display mode in the region of the display surface.

Lighting control console for controlling a lighting system

A method for operating a lighting system comprising at least one central control unit and a plurality of lighting devices, including in the lighting devices a positioning sensor system, by which the locations of the lighting devices is determined and wherein location data for describing the locations is transmitted to the central control device from each lighting device comprising a data interface and wherein a stage set database, which describes a stage set model and in which the locations of the various lighting devices in a stage set is stored, is stored in the central control device, the method comprising,
