Important safety instructions

To ensure the best from the product, please read this manual carefully.

Keep it in the safe place for future reference.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover from the

unit.

General care

Do not force switches or external connections.

Do not attempt to clean the unit with chemical solvents or

aerosol cleaners, as this may damage the unit. Use a clean dry

cloth.

motors that can pinch, so take care not to get your hands

trapped in the head or cabling.

Overview

Thank you for using the Bloop Light from Mark Roberts Motion Control

(MRMC). Bloop Light can be configured to flash on a pulse signal from

Flair which allows the editor to sync picture with motion control data for

simplified post production. In other words, bloop light can be used to set

up timing accurately in the move. It can be sat just in the corner of the

frame (to the safe area so that it is not a part of the final film); or the

bloop light laser’s miniature flash can be included in the frame telling the

editor when the first frame occurs.

On/off switch for laser.

When turned off only the

main Red LED will

function.

Camera Trigger Test LED

(green). Lights up when

Bloop Light is connected

directly with RT-14 and

then the camera is

triggered from Flair or

when EXT CAM TEST

button is clicked in Flair.

Bloop LED (Red): Lights

up when triggered from

or tested from Flair

using the BLOOP

button.

triggered.

Bloop Light Quick Start Guide

Connecting the cables

Configuration A: Connecting Directly to RT-14

In Flair, the button for Trigger 1 is labelled Bloop by default unless you

have changed it, as it is usually used to trigger the Bloop light. YYou can

change this name in Flair by using the same menu options that you use to

add triggers to a move: Setups >Outputs >#1 - Bloop, #2, #3, etc. See

the Flair documentation for details.

The Trigger 1 signal in Flair is same as Output 2 in 37-Way D-type

connector on RT-14.

Configuration B (using Triggers Box)

This configuration uses the ribbon cable supplied with the Triggers Box.

The External Camera Trigger Out and Sync In are directly connected to

the camera.

The Bloop light also has a direct connection. The Bloop light plug itself

(black in the photograph) is wired for two inputs:

If you plug the Bloop light into the BLOOP connector on the

ribbon cable, you can trigger it with the Trigger 1 signal.

If you plug the Bloop light into the SYNC connector on the

ribbon cable, you can trigger the Red LED with either the

Trigger 1 or Green LED with Ext Camera Trigger signal, and

thus use it to test the External Camera Trigger button.

The External Camera Trigger and Trigger 1 (Bloop) signal wires to the

TRIGGER connector in RT-14 are cut on the ribbon cable, so neither of

these signals can reach the Trigger Box in this configuration.

As in Configuration A above, in Flair, the button for Trigger 1 is labelled

Bloop by default unless you have changed it, as it is usually used to

trigger the Bloop light. See the Flair documentation for details.

Testing Bloop Light

You can test that the

Trigger Box and Bloop

Light are receiving trigger

signals from Flair:

1. In Flair, use menu

option Setups >

Outputs >Test

Outputs.

2. In the pop-up, click

on the Bloop button.

When you press the

button, the Bloop light

(red) and the laser (if

turned on) will light up.

Bloop Light Quick Start Guide

Setting up Bloop Light in Flair

1. In Flair 6.4, use menu option Setups >Outputs >#1 BLOOP.

2. Check the Trigger Active box to ensure that the bloop light is active.

When set to off, the bloop light will not activate during the move.

3. Test button can be used to test the bloop light. When pressed the

bloop light should activate and deactivate upon release.

4. You can switch the bloop light on and off up to 15 times within the

move. The frame count (fractional if desired) at which the bloop

light is to turn on is entered in the left hand column and the frame

count at which the trigger is to turn off is entered in the right hand

column. Alternatively, instead of specifying the Off frame, you can

specify the number of frames the bloop light should remain on for.
