Cosmic Interact-Series: 8 Inputs. Endless Reactions.
Meet the Cosmic Interact Series: Baldrick Input8 Interactive Controller
Some props shouldn’t just look good — they should react. The Cosmic Interact Series powered by the Baldrick Input8 is built for shows that invite your audience to press, trigger, and play along. From button-driven kiosks to motion-activated effects, this prebuilt controller makes interactive lighting simple, reliable, and fast to deploy.
🔌 8 Inputs. 2 Pixel Ports. Dual Ethernet. Endless Interactions.
At the heart of this controller is the Baldrick Input8 — an input-focused pixel controller designed for interactive shows, kiosks, exhibits, and triggered effects.
Core specs at a glance:
- 8 isolated inputs for buttons, motion sensors, beam breaks, reed switches, and more
- 2 pixel output ports for driving addressable LEDs on props, accents, or small scenes
- 12 V DC power provided by a Mean Well LRS-150-12 power supply
- Dual Ethernet ports — connect to your show network and daisy-chain another controller (e.g., a Baldrick17)
- Designed to work seamlessly with xLights and Falcon Player (FPP)-based setups
This unit ships fully assembled in a weather-resistant enclosure with pixel wiring, power, and inputs already terminated. Plug it in, configure it, and you’re ready to react to your audience.
🎛️ Built for Interactive Lighting
The Interact Series is all about audience-driven control. The 8 inputs on the Input8 board can be wired to a wide variety of low-voltage devices, giving you the freedom to design creative, responsive moments in your show.
Popular ways to use Input8 include:
- Button kiosks that let guests start different lighting sequences on demand
- Motion-activated props for Halloween haunts or walk-through attractions
- Queue or line indicators that change color or pattern based on triggers
- Interactive art pieces where viewers press, step, or wave to generate patterns
- Show control integration alongside existing lighting systems or controllers
Because the inputs are designed for Turniput-style interactivity, you can map them to specific effects, playlists, or sequences in your show software. Press a button, trigger a look. Break a beam, launch a chase. It’s that simple.
