Abstract
The present invention relates to a recording device to be used by choreographers as a means of forming a visual record of the precise time a cue appears on an audio track and coordinating such visually recorded cues to the audio track for use as an interface between the audio track and the microprocessor or computer devices that control the visual aspects of multi-image presentations. Additionally the present invention relates to a method of using a visual recording device as an interface. An added feature of this invention is a novel charting means that is compact in size yet stores a large quantity of information to assist the choreographer in coordinating the various events to the audio track. The charting means enables the choreographer to consider the time required between activation of the visual display equipment and the occurrence of the display to allow the equipment to cycle. The present invention is particularly adapted to interface with commercially available visual display control computers or microprocessors and includes a scaling device incorporating minimum waiting times for each particular computer or microprocessor related to various sequential commands.
