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.

The main circuit board is also available as a separate component which may be used to retrofit previous MiT automation models utilizing the JNIOR device, such as the IMC-3J. For additional information about using the BP1 board in a retrofit, please see Sec. 5.

Note: If you are installing an A000392 retrofit kit, be advised the BP1 control board has devices that may be damaged by static electricity. Leave the board inside its protective antistatic bag until ready to install it. This is especially true in dry or low-humidity conditions. R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

CONFIGURING PROJECTOR IMB 6.1 Configuring Barco ICMP-X in Series 2 and 3 Projectors These instructions apply to the use of the MiT BP1 automation board used with a Barco Alchemy ICMP-X server in the following projector models: DP2K-B and DP4K-B ...

3. Configure the GPIO cues that output from the ICMP-X and input to the BP1. First, create a new cue group for ease of access. In this example, it has been called BP1. Figure 6-2: Creating a new Cue Group R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

GPO cues that the BP1 can accept: Dimmer Mid, Dimmer Down, Dimmer Up, Screen Lights On, Screen Lights Off. Figure 6-3: Adding New Cues 5. Once you have added the new cue, you can then add the command to it that actually fires the GPO. Figure 6-4 R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

“all clear” signal is sent from the fire alarm system, via the BP1. In the cue editor, go to the Input Cues tab, and then press Add. Figure 6-6 R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

X should be configured as “On Input X Up.” If the fire alarm input is set to HOLD, then the GPI to the ICMP-X should be “On Input 1 Down.” You should also ensure that the mode jumper is set correctly on the BP1 board, as shown in Figure 6-8. Figure 6-8 R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

8. The next step is to configure what the ICMP-X will actually do in response to receiving the GPI cue. This is done by adding commands to the cue in the same way that GPO output commands were added to the output cues. Figure 6-9 Figure 6-10 R000226 BP1 Automation v.0.1 03/21...

The Masking outputs will continue to be buffered with the existing relays on the MiT Masking Relay board. 2. The front panel switches for manual Dimmer and Masking control will continue to be operational.
