1. SAFETY
1.1 Low Voltage device
The Moving iMage Technologies model BP1 Automation is a low voltage device, with
power provided by a UL-Recognized low voltage DC power supply. The BP1 has not been
evaluated or certified for connection of any parts of it to AC line voltages, and such
connection is not recommended.
2. GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The BP1 is an automation interface designed to accept commands from a Barco d-cinema
projector with the Alchemy IMB (Integrated Media Block). The BP1 buffers those signals
then outputs control signals to the various pieces of equipment in the cinema auditorium
such as dimmer and masking control.
The BP1 system is built on 19” wide, 1 RU steel chassis. The main circuit board
incorporates detection logic that may be configured to suit typical fire alarm panel output,
including dry contact, and AC and DC voltages of 12 or 24V. It includes LEDs on the front
panel to indicate the Power status, Fire Alarm status, and a switch to manually reset the
Fire Alarm condition after the alarm signal is no longer present.
A second board provides relays buffering masking controls for up to 10 Amperes current.
A terminal block provides the following connection points:
12VDC power in
Outputs to a dimmer: Mid, Down, and UP
Buffered outputs for Masking: Flat and Scope formats
Fire Alarm Panel Input
