An apparatus for a theatrical lighting instrument including a light source, which emits light in a light path; a lens located in the light path, and which receives light from the light source and projects light from the light source; a computer memory; and a computer processor. The apparatus may also include first pluralities and second pluralities of cyan, magenta and yellow color filters, each filter including a variable density color filter operated upon by a motor configured to traverse each filter in and out of the light path. Each variable density color filter of the first pluralities of filters may include a high saturation color pallet. Each variable density color filter of the second pluralities of filters may include a low saturation color pallet. The computer memory may include software to multiplex the traversing of the first and the second pluralities of filters to one or more control channels.

A lighting controller configured to control a lighting fixture based on music piece data in which characteristic sections that characterize a music construction are allocated includes: a transition information acquisition unit configured to obtain transition information for each of the characteristic sections in the music piece data; a note-fractionated-section analyzing unit configured to analyze the characteristic section(s) in the music piece data to detect a note-fractionated section where a note is fractionated with progression of bars; and a lighting control data generating unit configured to generate lighting control data based on the transition information obtained by the transition information acquisition unit and the note-fractionated section detected by the note-fractionated-section analyzing unit.

An electronic device and a method for controlling the electronic device, the method including receiving an input of a command to reproduce music contents, determining audio characteristics information on the music contents and situation information on an environment where the music contents are being reproduced; and displaying a visualization effect of visualizing the music contents using the audio characteristics information and the situation information, and reproducing the music contents.

Example systems and methods to transform events and/or mood associated with playing media into lighting effects are disclosed herein. An example apparatus includes a content identifier to identify a first event occurring during presentation of media content at a first time. The example apparatus includes a content driven analyzer to determine a first lighting effect to be produced by a light-producing device based on the first event and instruct the light-producing device to produce the first lighting effect based on the first event during presentation of the media content. The content identifier is to identify a second media event occurring during presentation of the media content at a second time after the first time. The content driven analyzer is to instruct the light-producing device to one of maintain the first lighting effect based on the second event or produce a second lighting effect based on the second event during presentation of the media content.

The present invention provides an active sensory floor that provides sensations to non-auditory senses of persons at an event via one or both of movement and vibrations of the sensory floor. Sensory output of the floor may be controlled via a mixer or other controller during a performance, pre-recorded or provided based upon an input, such as music playing. Additional sensory stimulation, such as, for example, visual stimulation may also be synchronized with non-auditory stimulation.

A performance room includes: a luminous device for stimulating dinoflagellates and generating a luminous effect; an audio equipment for providing a piece of music, wherein the music is integrated with the luminous effect of the dinoflagellates, and the sequential tonalities and rhythms of the music are related to the switching of switching elements of the luminous device; and a field which can define a performance space, wherein the luminous effect of the dinoflagellates and the music are located in the field of the performance space. In particularly, the luminous effect is exhibited by integrating the musical melody with the dinoflagellates itself acted as a performer.

A lighting controller is configured to make lighting control data in which lighting control information corresponding to a music piece is recorded and to control a lighting apparatus based on the lighting control data. The lighting controller includes: an information acquisition unit configured to acquire beat position information indicating beat positions of music piece data; a reference position plotting unit configured to plot a plurality of reference positions corresponding one-to-one to the beat positions of the beat position information; a lighting control information setting unit configured to set the lighting control information corresponding to the music piece; and a lighting control information editing unit configured to record the lighting control information with reference to the reference positions.

An audio speaker includes a glass, a light emitting device, a filter device, and a vibration device. The glass includes light scattering patterns and guides incoming light onto the light scattering patterns. The light emission device includes light emitting members and a control member. The filter device translates an audio signal to a control signal taking account of a plurality of different frequency bands, and transmits the control signals to the vibration device and the light emission device. The vibration device translates the control signals to controlled current applied to the light emitting members. The light intensities of the light emitting member relate to the controlled current and correspond to a height of illumination of the light scattering patterns.
