- The Parts of the Smart Brick System -
The Smart Brick System is a modular Animation
Control System which consists of One Smart Brick Brain
and any number of Smart Bricks attached to it. Since
the number of Smart Bricks attached to each Smart
Brick Brain is unlimited, Animation Control Systems of
any size to be assembled just by plugging them to-
gether.
Smart Brick Systems can be used to control animat-
ed shows and displays, fountains, fireworks, lighting,
sound systems, simulators, slide and movie projectors,
fiber optics, window displays, motors, pneumatic and
hydraulic systems, special effects, signs, machines and
machine tools in process control, etc. .............
The Smart Brick Brain is a small microprocessor
controlled unit which can synchronize any number of
Smart Bricks to a LaserDisk (or DVD) player, Smpte time
code, internal time base, or external time base. In ad-
dition it can control the LaserDisk (or DVD) player or
tape deck and provide a real time clock or count-
down timer for the delay between shows. For all but
the Smpte time code, it can instantly randomly access
any show stored in the system (Smpte synchronized
shows are slaved to whatever show the Smpte time
code is requesting). At the end of any show it can au-
tomatically jump to any other show, either with or with-
out a user adjustable delay before playing this next
show. If it is already playing a show and it gets a re-
quest for another show, it can be told to ignore the re-
quest, store it until done with the current show, or jump
to it immediately.
