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.

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.

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.
