Yeah, from what I can tell the software is inside each lamp, processing the image in realtime... But if these units are software-driven, they're bound to have some kind of software update mechanism. All it needs is someone to figure out how to push a modified firmware to units (maybe even via tftp!) and then they can send commands to change how the image is processed before being sent to another light's display... Bingo :D
