Hey guys this is Martin again form SIRS-Electronics.
Today I am going to introduce to you the Baxter Best Boy.
This is a DMX pocket console that has recording and playback capabilities.
Basically is very similar to the Basic Pocket Console from Baxter.
But it does allow you to record and playback certain presets.
You got one page of 8 presets that you can control and setup.
It also allows you to patch different DMX channels to different faders.
Or you can use individual faders or individual channels.
So basically this pocket console it is built-in to a Pelican case.
So this makes it a great little on the road to go pocket console that is going to last a long time.
So you know, if you drop it or something, the Pelican case is going to take a lot of
the impact.
Also, the cool thing about it is that all the connectors and everything are built-in
right there on the side.
So you got your power supply input and you also have your DMX 5 pin output right here.
So like I said it is very compact it all comes in one little package.
And I am going to show you guys the basics of it and how it works.
So here we got the On/Off switch.
You got the faders, all 8 of them.
You got the bottoms that patch and un-patch.
And you setup the keys and your selector switch.
To go either patch mode or normal mode.
So this particular console it could be operated with an alkaline 9V battery.
Or a power supply. If you happen to run out of battery.
So basically we are going to connect our little DMX strip here.
I am going to use an adapter here to go from 5 to 3 pin.
And then we are going to connect the DMX cable on the side.
And then turn it On. So there we go.
Basically now it is running.
And I got fader one.
Which is patch to my red, which is channel one.
2 is green, 3 is blue and 4 is going to be my warm white on that particular strip
That has warm white on it.
So the basics of it. Is I am on patch mode.
I can select multiple channels to run on a single fader.
So if I go to channel 2 I can patch it to fader 1.
So now I got red and green on a single one.
So for the sake of making this a simple video.
I am going to go back to a more tradition setup here.
Ok, so now we have the red blue green.
So I am going to show you guys the basic recording functions that this has.
So for example, if I press and hold the last and next buttons.
While is in normal mode.
We will see this little dot chase.
And until it goes to REC.
That mean record.
Once it is on record mode.
What you want to do is move the faders to whatever value you want.
So for example we will probably do like a warm white setup right there.
And then we are going to press and hold the un-patch button until it blinks.
Lights up and then it will blink and then we hit 1.
So now we have a setup that recording cue to the first button.
So when we press and hold here and go to playback, and it will display as PLA.
And we hit that 1 that is what we have recorded.
So it will show there what you have done.
And this is useful if you are doing specific color blends.
And thing like that, that require a certain value not a full 100 percent.
Because you could patch multiple channels to a fader.
But this way you could actually do subtle values you don't have to be full On or full Off.
So you know, for example, it is just pretty much how it is done.
So you can record or playback.
In one page of up to 8 cues or scenes.
You can patch multiple channels and multiple faders.
It comes in a rugged plastic pelican case.
So if you guys have any questions, comments, concerns or anything like that.
