1. A method for associating pixels of visual content, displayed on a display unit, with pixels of lighting modules, each of said lighting modules comprising a plurality of pixels, wherein said lighting modules are adapted to be comprised in a lighting system comprising a plurality of lighting modules, each of said lighting modules comprising at least one communication unit wherein each lighting module is adapted to communicate with at least one neighboring lighting module via one of said at least one communication unit, said lighting system further comprising a control device adapted to communicate control signals to at least one of said lighting modules, wherein each of the lighting modules is adapted to further communicate control signals, communicated to said lighting module, to a neighboring lighting module, wherein each communication unit is adapted to communicate control signals to any of the pixels of the lighting module with which said communication unit is associated, the method comprising:

  • receiving control signals indicative of the geometric configuration of said lighting modules;

    generating and displaying said visual content onto the display unit comprising a plurality of pixels;

    generating and displaying a visual representation of pixels associated with said lighting modules onto said display unit, each pixel of said visual representation corresponding to a pixel of said lighting modules;

    selecting pixels of said visual content arranged within a boundary of said visual representation by performing at least one operation of shifting the position of said visual representation and resizing said visual representation on said display unit;

    associating pixel values with respective pixels of said visual representation on the basis of the positions of pixels of said visual content relatively to the positions of pixels of said visual representation and pixel values of pixels of said visual content; and

    for each pixel of said visual representation associated with a pixel value, communicating control signals corresponding to said pixel value to the pixel of the lighting module that corresponds to said pixel of said visual representation associated with a pixel value.
