A
AUTOMATED FIXTURE CONTROL CONSOLE
A lighting control console designed specifically for the purpose of controlling and storing/playing back cues for automated fixtures. These consoles often have subsystems for controlling different features of utomated fixtures such as color change, gobo, and focus position. Complex cue structures, effects, and chases are typical features of automated fixture control consoles. Three primary types of automated fixture consoles include: proprietary consoles designed to work primarily with one type of automated fixture, generic controllers which are programmed to control many different types of automated fixtures, and hybrid controllers which combine the functions of standard theatrical memory consoles with those of an automated fixture console.
AUTOPILOT
A proprietary product developed by Wybron in the early 1990's to interface a 3-dimensional locating system with pan and tilt functions of automated fixtures. A sensor attached to an actor or musician is used by the system to locate the actor on stage. Resulting data is can be fed to automated fixture controller to allow lights to follow actors in real time as they move around the stage. The resulting effect can be similar to that of a followspot.
