Abstract

A special record format used for commanding light pattern shapes and addressable light pattern shape generator. The command format includes a first part which commands a specified gobo (8) and a second part which commands the characteristics (8) of that gobo. The gobo (8) is formed by making a default gobo (1) based on the type and modifying that default gobo (1) to fit the characteristics.
