First Claim
Patent Images
1. A processing circuit comprising:
- a command source configured to receive at least one feature input control signal for a lighting fixture; and
an adaptive filtering mechanism configured to generate a filtered control signal in response to the input control signal, wherein the adaptive filtering mechanism is configured to generate the filtered control signal according to a relatively slower speed of response to the feature input control signal responsive to a first difference between a filtered control signal value and a feature input control signal value and generate the filter control signal according to a relatively faster speed of response to the feature input control signal responsive to a second difference between the filtered control signal value and the feature input control signal value.

Abstract
A processing circuit may include a command source that receives at least one feature input control signal for a lighting fixture; and an adaptive filtering mechanism that generates a filtered control signal in response to the input control signal, wherein the adaptive filtering mechanism varies a filter function in response to at least a temporal state of the input control signal.
