If using a Pioneer LaserDisk or DVD player, use the de-

‘3’ for the Start String.
If using a Panasonic LaserDisk player, use the default
string ‘5’ for the Start String.

The Rack Smart Brick Brain can sequentially control
up to seven LaserDisk Players using the LaserDisk multi-
plexer (BS-LDMUX15 for Pioneer/Panasonic players or BS-
LDMUX25 for Sony). This attaches to the Rack Smart Brick
Brain through its relay outputs and RS-422 serial port as
shown in the following drawing. Indicator LEDs show serial
data being sent to and received from the different
LaserDisks. The serial ports on the LaserDisk Multiplexer
are at RS-232 levels. Standard fifteen (Pioneer or
Panasonic) or twenty-five pin (Sony) cables can be used
to attach the LaserDisks to it. A small twelve VAC power
supply runs the LaserDisk Multiplexer. The Rack Smart
Brick Brain’s relay outputs can not be used for any other
purpose when running multiple LaserDisk players.
The MultiDisk string will be sent to each of the
LaserDisk (or DVD) players in turn. Typically the MultiDisk
string is just a LaserStart special string character (01). This
will position all of the LaserDisks (or DVD)s to the selected
frame and pause them. Players which can’t search and
