BB 200 Series

The most powerful small show development solution. Utilizes any Midi Sequencer or Controller to create and playback shows. Affordable Midi I/O for control of Valves, Relays, LED's, Motors, Servos, and more!
The BB200 series consists of the RP-16, AO-16, and DO-16. Each unit is a totally self-contained device that can be daisy-chained together to accomplish whatever configuration you require. Mounted in a small, rugged, steel, 1/4 rack space enclosure, each unit can be stand alone, wall mounted, or rack mounted for up to 4 BB200 units in a single rack space! All connections are brought out the rear panel for easy wiring and access, and all I/O points are on standard DB25 connectors. The front panel contains 16 LED I/O status indicators, a power and MIDI activity LED and 8 DIP micro switches to set each unit’s address and offset. No software is required for setup! Each MIDI Thru/Out jack regenerates the data from the MIDI In jack, allowing unlimited daisy-chaining of units with no signal degradation.

RP-16 Record/Playback:
The RP-16 is the "Brains" of the BB-200 series. It is essentially a Midi Data Recorder and Player. It stores up to 16 Shows or Midi Sequences on nonvolatile SmartMedia cards. Simply select the show to record, put the unit into record mode, and play your show or sequence into the unit in real time. The RP-16 faithfully records virtually ALL Midi data, including Midi Time Code, so that it can be used as a master SMPTE source. The front panel Dip Switches are used to setup the playback mode, as well as give you manual control of all record and playback features so that you can test and play your shows with no computer or software interface. Since all data is recorded onto removable SmartMedia cards, you can have 16 new shows by simply swapping the card.
  • 18 Opto-Isolated inputs; Show 1-16, Stop, Next/Continue
  • Opto-Isolated Play Tally Output
  • Over 500,000 event storage per card
  • "Program in Place" or swap cards
  • Play once, loop, sequential, and loop sequential playback modes

DO-16 High Power 16 Channel Digital Output:
The DO-16 provides 16, fused, open collector outputs controlled by standard MIDI Note On/Off commands. Use this unit to control any On/Off device, such as LED’s, valves, SSR's, or relays. Each output has the capability to sink up to 400ma at up to 50 volts DC. Integral clamping diodes allow direct drive of inductive loads such as relays, solenoids, and valves. Front panel LED status indicators show the state of each output at all times.

AO-16 16 Channel Analog Output:
The AO-16 Provides 16 analog 0-10 or 0-5 volt outputs with up to 12 bit precision (4096 steps). Each output is controlled from standard MIDI Continuous Controller or higher resolution pitchbend commands. Each analog output is buffered and can drive up to 30ma. This unit is the most cost effective way to control analog valves for fountains, animatronics characters, and special effects. Front panel LED status indicators show the state of each output. 8x8 option: This option reconfigures the AO-16 for 8 analog and 8 high power digital outputs (400ma @50VDC) for only $99.00.

Common features of BB-200's
Dip Switch Configuration
 
Each BB-200RM unit has an 8 position recessed DIP switch located on the front panel. These switches allow you to easily select the MIDI channel, Note or other configuration setting for the unit. There is no software required, and no possibility of memory loss over the years. Each BB-200 series unit can be easily connected to the next unit with a standard 5 wire MIDI cable. Since each unit actually regenerates the MIDI signal, you can daisy chain as many units as you want to with no signal degradation. Additionally, the power supply from the first unit is shared via this cable to the other units. This makes it possible to have a single MIDI In and Power connection for several units placed side by side.
