Flashcards
0/30
Intensity
The brightness level of a lighting fixture.
Fixture Addressing
Assigning a specific starting DMX address to a lighting device so that it can be controlled independently.
Automated Light Profiles
Custom presets or settings that define the default positions, colors, gobos, and behaviors of automated fixtures.
Prism
A lens that splits light into multiple beams to create visual effects.
Frost
A filter that softens the edge of the beam, creating a more diffused light.
Dimmer
An electronic device that controls the intensity of a light source.
MIDI Show Control (MSC)
A protocol that allows for intercommunication between audio, lighting, and show control equipment.
Magic Sheet
A visual representation used by lighting designers and operators that displays the layout of lighting cues, often in a simplified form.
Gel
A thin colored filter placed in front of a lighting instrument to color the light output.
Iris
An adjustable aperture used to change the diameter of a light beam.
Blackout
A lighting cue that turns all stage lights off, used to indicate a transition or dramatic effect.
Cue Stack
A sequence of cues arranged in order to be executed during a performance.
Art-Net
An Ethernet-based protocol used to transmit DMX512 lighting control data over a network.
Light Plot
A diagram that shows the placement of lighting fixtures in relation to the stage.
Gobo
A physical or digital template placed in a light's pathway to project a pattern or shape.
Color Mixing
Combining different colored lights to create a wide spectrum of colors, often using RGB, CMY, or additive mixing.
Strobe
A rapid intermittent flashing effect produced by a lighting fixture.
Haze
An atmospheric effect created by a haze machine that enhances visibility of light beams and adds dimension to lighting effects.
Moving Head
A type of automated lighting fixture which has one or more axes of rotation, thus able to move in various directions.
RDM (Remote Device Management)
A protocol that allows bidirectional communication over a DMX512 line, enabling configuration, monitoring, and management of lighting devices.
Cue
A pre-programmed lighting state or change that can be executed at a specific time during a show.
Fade Time
The duration it takes for a lighting cue to transition from one state to another.
Chase
A sequence of cues or lighting changes that follow in succession, often to the beat of music.
Beam Angle
The angle at which light is emitted from a fixture, determining how wide or narrow the beam of light is.
Luminance
A measure of the intensity of light perceived by the human eye emitted or reflected from a surface.
Barn Doors
An accessory that attaches to the front of a lighting fixture to control the shape and direction of the light beam.
DMX (Digital Multiplex)
A digital communication network commonly used to control stage lighting and effects.
Focus
Adjusting the clarity or sharpness of a light fixture's output, particularly its projected image or gobo.
Zoom
Alters the beam angle of a light fixture, thus changing the size of the light spot.
Pan and Tilt
Movements that automated fixtures can execute, with pan being horizontal movement and tilt being vertical movement.
