Video Projector Shutters: The Flapper Mini

JUST THE BASICS

The Flapper Mini was designed about two years after its older DMX-controlled brother. Many of our customers were doing one-off' briefcase' gigs and didn't have time run data cables to the facility's video projectors. Or there wasn't an optosplitter handy. Or enough five pin data cable. Or an extra channel on the light board they could use. You know how briefcase gigs can be.

So why not strip away the expensive DMX interface, keep the same motor assembly and manual controller, lose the LCD display and set the whole thing free?

PERFECT SYNCHRONIZATION

There's really not much to say about this one: what you see is pretty much what you get. The front panel sports a male XLR jack, a power supply connector, a red LED and a green LED. The LEDs glow when the flap is in position #1 or #2 respectively.

A SHINY MANUAL CONTROLLER

So all you need to do is mount the Flapper Mini near your projector and run 3-pin XLR cable to your control position. That's it! No universes, no patching, no splitting... Just quick and simple video reveals, any time you need them.

STURDY CONSTRUCTION

Just like it's older brother, The Flapper Mini was designed by technicians, for technicians. We've 'been there & done that' long enough to understand how gear gets abused. The Flapper is road worthy and roadie proof. The manual controller is totally isolated from the base unit electrically, making control simple and trouble-free.

The Mini is completely self-contained. You won't need to buy an expensive external power supply or controller. You don't need to worry about complicated, intricate internal mechanisms breaking. We didn't include any small parts to lose in the dark during strike.We think you'll agree that it's an idea whose time has come.

TRY IT FOR YOURSELF
