Connecting Spark+ to MRMC Trigger Box

1. Connect to Spark+
1. Connect the XLR end of a Relay Adapter to a Custom Cable
2. Connect the barrel plug end of the Relay Adapter to an input barrel jack of Spark+
2. Connect to your device
1. At the other end of the Custom Cable, add a Wire Lead Adapter
2. Connect the leads to your device. Black = Negative/Ground
   
3. Now you can trigger the Rigs manually and through Flair!
   

*The MRMC Trigger Box does not output 24V power through the relay connections, so it is necessary to connect the setup as indicated above. Using the Y-Connector configuration as in the SISU setup will not work.

** This configuration will work for any device that provides a relay signal output

Connecting Spark+ to SISU Cinema Robotics

1. Connect to Spark+
1. Connect a Female Y Connector to Jet, Jump, or Launch
   
2. Attach one end of a Custom Cable to one side of the Y Connector
3. Attach the other end of the Custom Cable to Spark+
2. Connect to your SISU machine
1. Attach one end of a Custom Cable to the other side of the Y Connector
2. At the other end of the Custom Cable, add a Wire Lead Adapter
3. Connect leads to your SISU machine. Black = Negative/Ground
3. Now you can trigger the Rigs manually and through SISU Lab!

*SISU machines output 24V power, so no need to add a power supply.

Usage Tips

• Two Rigs can be triggered from one input signal or button press.  To do this, add a Female Y Connector to the output of your choice, then connect 2 Rigs to the Y Connector.  Now, both Rigs will activate at the exact same time
