Lighting system and method for controlling a lighting system

摘要

The present invention pertains to a lighting system, comprising at least one illumination device comprising a luminaire and a luminaire controller configured to control the operational state of the luminaire according to lighting control data, and a lighting controller configured to transmit the lighting control data to at least one illumination device. The lighting controller is configured to pre-format the lighting control data for the at least one illumination device in one or more colour space representation matrices having matrix entries corresponding to colour space representation values for the luminaire. The lighting controller is further configured to encode the pre-formatted colour space representation matrices using a data compression algorithm.
