Intelligent lighting module, lighting or display module system and method of assembling and configuring such a lighting or display module system

摘要

An intelligent lighting module for use in a lighting or display module system which is composed of an array of lighting modules, each of said lighting modules being provided with a display board with an array of individual pixel lighting elements and with a control board capable of controlling serial input data from a video source for displaying video as well as of controlling digital communication input data from a lighting console for creating digital lighting effects, wherein the display board comprises a drive buffer and an array of pulse-width modulation (PWM) drivers which are connected to the lighting elements and wherein the control board comprises: a serial data input; a communication data input; a memory, preferably a read-only memory, containing data such as hardware configuration data, executable code, and an installation controller containing installation parameters of the intelligent lighting module such as the position and orientation of the module in the lighting or display system and the module viewing angle; a memory, preferably a random access memory, containing ambient environmental data and display data during run time; a field programmable gate array (FPGA).
