First Claim
1. A computer system, comprising:
- a image producing device which produces an output based on a media to be viewed, where said media to be viewed includes multiple combined parts including at least one video part, wherein said image producing device produces a first output indicative of said media to be viewed at a first brightness, and produces a second output indicative of said media to be viewed at a reduced brightness.

Abstract
Producing complicated effects based on image processing operations. The image processing operations are defined for a processor which may be different than the processor which is actually used. The processor that is actually used runs an interpreter that interprets the information into its own language, and then runs the image processing. The actual information is formed according to a plurality of layers which are combined in some way so that each layer can effect the layers below it. For example, the layers may add to, subtract from, or form transparency to the layer below it or make color filtering the layer below it. This enables many different effects computed and precompiled for a hypothetical processor, and a different processor can be used to combine and render those effects.

13. A system, comprising:
-
a computer-based part which produces an image output, and which produces a dimming output indicative of an amount of dimming to be carried out on said image output, said computer part including a port for said image output which is adapted to be connected to a display; a dimmer, receiving said second output, and also receiving said image output, and operating to produce a dimmed output by dimming said image output by an amount indicative of said second output, and where said dimmed output is produced on a port that is adapted to be connected to a projecting lamp; said computer based part including an input for a control from a remote which allows controlling image output to one of a plurality of different image outputs. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method, comprising:
-
receiving an input for a control from a remote unit, where said input selects from among multiple different image outputs; producing an image output; producing a dimming output indicative of an amount of dimming to be carried out on said image output; displaying said image output at a full brightness; using said dimming output to produce a dimmed version of said image; and projecting said dimmed version of said image. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26, 27)
