OPTICALLY-ISOLATED INPUT
NOTE: PIR SENSORS CAN TAKE UP TO A
MINUTE TO “WARM UP”. DURING THIS TIME
THE BOOBOX’S INPUT LIGHT WILL BLINK
AND THE SENSOR WILL NOT RESPOND.
TWO TRIGGERS
BooBoxes can be easily programmed with our free Director software and an SD card. The Director Connect allows
you to see your work in real-time, rather than having to save the program to an SD card first. The ScareMaster is a
great real-time programming option for those who don’t want to be tethered to a computer.
Tips and Tricks
The BooBoxes have some great features that are often left undiscovered. Below are just a few examples:
Ambient Resume -
Tells the Ambient scene to resume from where it left off after an input scene has finished.
Play All Sound Mode -
Fill a scene folder with audio files and the BooBox will play them all. Great in Ambient mode!
Fade on Interrupt -
If a scene is interrupted before completion it will fade out the audio before stopping.
Manual Playback -
Hold the PLAY button for a few seconds to select which Input scene you’d like to trigger.
Connecting Speakers
The Flex audio output is designed to connect to powered speakers or external amplifiers.
Copying Audio Files to the BooBox
The recommended method to get your audio files onto the BooBox is to use our free Director software. It will copy
the sounds to your BooBox or ScareMaster and ensure the filenames and folder structure are correct. If you are
using a Mac, or prefer to copy the files on your own, see the full manual for SD card layout details.
Master Mode (Default)
The Flex can be linked to our BooTunes or BooTunes
Amped MP3 players to add more audio channels to
your show. The MP3 players will automatically start
and stop in sync with the Flex.
The Flex will not output
DMX data to control other DMX devices.
Slave Mode
The BooBox Flex can be setup as a DMX slave to a
FlexMax or any DMX master. The master can control
the Flex’s outputs and audio, or trigger scenes
depending on the DMX mode.
WIRELESS TRIGGER
CONNECT THESE ONLY IF THE BOOBOX AND BASE
STATION USE THE SAME VOLTAGE AND THE BASE
STATION’S POWER SUPPLY IS NOT CONNECTED.
OPTICALLY-ISOLATE CIRCUITS FROM DIFFERENT POWER
SUPPLIES, OR WHEN WIRE LENGTHS ARE EXCESSIVE.
