The Smart Brick System is completely modular. If one

Smart Brick doesn’t have enough outputs, you simply

add more, stacking them until you have enough out-

puts to do the job.

The Smart Bricks can all be located at one or more

central locations, or they can be built right into what-

ever it is they are controlling. This latter method allows

you to wire an entire attraction by just stringing up a six

conductor modular telephone line to connect all your

figures. It also allows you to remove a figure’s anima-

tion system along with the figure when it is removed for

maintenance, and then run them both on a service

bench away from the rest of the show for testing and

adjustment. A Smart Brick System can consist of any

combination of record/playback Smart Bricks,

playback-only Smart Bricks and card cage mounted

Smart Bricks.

In most cases the Smart Brick system is programmed

using a PC•MACs Animation Control System. Once pro-

grammed the show is downloaded to the Smart Brick(s)

and the Smart Brick Brain configured to match the
