  • Page 3 Installation: Choose a suitable location where the item can be used and interacted with safely. Decide on the layout of your beams and the plan of the equipment in your space (ROMPA® can install this system – please enquire with our installations team on 01246 211777 for details).
  • Page 4 OptiMusic. How Does it Work? In its simplest form, the ROMPA® Interactive Lighting System is a ‘virtual light switch’. Coloured light beams shine down acting as clear visual reference points for the user. When a beam is ‘broken’ or interrupted, a signal is created which activates previously selected events.
  • Page 5 The beams can be played in two modes: Normal and Inverse: Normal mode uses hand held reflective bat to trigger the beams. Inverse mode uses floor/surface mat reflectors so the beams can be triggered by hands and/or body movement. The OMPC1 software can control from 1 - 32 Light modules or other types of sensors. A PC mouse is required for the majority of the functions, from choosing settings to editing beam sequences.
  • Page 6 Play Page: allows the user to load project, to observe the system in operation (showing all the interaction between the 32 beams or input channels) and control the audio output. Edit Page: allows the user to create new content and projects by loading into the various beams locations all type of multimedia events.
  • Page 7 Red: Image File Pink: Video file Orange: Relay events (turning beam on/off). Yellow: DMX events (Lighting) To programme a beam follow the instructions below: (These are instructions to use the system in NORMAL MODE) Using the virtual keyboard: The Note Event Editor The Note Event Editor is an on-screen musical keyboard.
  • Page 8  To play the same note programmed but with a different instrument, scroll through the instrument box to choose your instrument and then trigger the beam to hear the sound. Now save your work: Saving a setting: Go to Setting drop-down menu Go to Save As and save your selected name.
  • Page 9 Programming using the AUDIO Event Editor: The AUDIO Event Editor (wav & mp3 files) We recommend working with .wav files as they respond faster (being non compressed) The function of the AUDIO Event Editor is to load and edit AUDIO files before they are assigned to the beams.
  • Page 10 Important note: The longer you trigger the beam (staying in the beam) the longer the audio file will be played. Wave file in T/E mode:  This time, load the file donkey.wav into the editor  Choose option save in the next location ...
  • Page 11 Displaying Images: Important note: In order to display images a secondary screen or projector will need to be connected to your PC or laptop. This will require a dual video output, this secondary screen will need to be set up in Extended mode and not mirrored!): Using the IMAGE EVENT EDITOR: We recommend working with image file .bmp or .jpeg in resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels...
  • Page 12 Grouping Events: Important Note: Grouped events will be played simultaneously upon activation. Please note – Grouping more than ten events is not recommended and may affect PC performance. Example:  Look again at the TOE for beam 3.  You will see on the right side of the table, three letters IND (Individual event) ...
  • Page 13 Editing a video: You can edit the length of the video and change the volume of its Audio in a similar fashion to how you edit Wav files. Programming the Button Box: Used for scrolling through the various settings Most systems are supplied with a Button Box which is “HARD WIRED”...
  • Page 14 The secondary control events are typically used for navigation in the project or resetting and muting: Setting Up: Moves to next setting Setting Down: Moves to previous setting Setting Select: Moves to a specific setting Global Reset: Resets setting Global Mute: Mutes/stops all activity These events can also be added to any beam’s TOE, either on their own or after a series of other events.

    Edit, Play, Reset and Mute Buttons: Edit button – This has no function in the Edit Screen. (Click this in the Play Screen and it takes you to the Edit Screen.) Play button – Click this in the Edit Screen and it takes you back to the Play Screen. Reset Beams –This button resets all the beams back to the beginning of their sequence.
  • Page 16 Remember: When playing in inverse mode (reflectors on the floor) any movement in the beams will trigger the sounds. Working in normal mode means only those participants holding or wearing reflective bats / gloves can actually trigger and play the beams. ANY BEAM PLAY FUNCTION (ABP): When you are creating a setting where you wish for many beams to trigger the same sequence of events.
  • Page 17 The OMPC1 software receives Real-Time inputs from up-to 32 sensor units via USB data communication hardware and is processing pre-programmed events. Channels input: OptiBeams / IR / switches / sonic / Laser / pressure - or any 5V input, can be connected to one computer.
