Advanced Scene Options
Each scene has options that can be adjusted to change how the BooBox behaves while the particular scene
plays. To get to these settings, go into the menu by holding ENABLE and tapping PLAY, then scroll down to
Scene Menu and press ENTER.
Volume L / Volume R (0 – 25, default 25)
Volume of the MP3 decoder’s left and right audio channels. Often one channel is used for a character’s voice
and another for ambient sounds. Being able to adjust these volumes independently allows for easy tweaks
without remixing the audio file.
Sound Mode (Auto Ambient, None, default Auto)
Auto – Plays the current scene’s sound file if there is one, otherwise silence.
Ambient – Continues to play the ambient sound file during this scene, looping if necessary.
None – Forces silence, same as not having a sound file.
Sound Delay (None – 8.5s, default None)
Delays the start of the sound for up to 8.5 seconds. Useful if you need to animate the opening of a door, or fill a
room with fog for a few seconds before the sounds starts.
Fixed Length (None – 31:59, default None)
Forces recording of the scene to stop when this length is reached. Useful when programming DMX or when
accurate scene lengths are required.
DMX Channels (2 – 33, default varies)
Number of DMX channels this scene will output.
Pre-Delay (None – 17:00, default None)
Delay from when trigger is tripped to when the scene will start playing. Use this if your sensor is located ahead
of your scene or prop and you need a few seconds delay for the patrons to reach the right location.
Post-Delay (None – 17:00, default None)
Time that the Flex will ignore trigger inputs once the scene has finished playing. Use this to prevent the prop
from triggering too often.
Interruptible (No, Yes, default No)
Set to YES if you want this scene to be interrupted if another trigger is tripped during playback.
Self-Interrupt (No, Yes, default No)
Set to YES if you want this scene to be interrupted by it’s own trigger. Useful if you want the next scene (i.e.
IN1-1, IN1-2) to be played if the scene’s trigger is tripped again while the scene is playing.
Momentary (No, Yes, default No)
Set to YES if you want this scene to only playback for as long as the trigger is activated, looping if necessary.
This is great for actor-controlled props such as electric chairs where you want the actor to have control of
exactly how long the prop is activated.
Autoplay Next (No, Yes, default No)
Set to YES if you want the next scene (i.e. IN1-1, IN1-2) to automatically play once this scene is done.
