Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 159)

time code of the show which is being started. An exam-
ple of this would be if the frame rate were set to sixteen
frames per second and a Smpte time code is being
used. As this is not a valid frame rate for a Smpte show,
an ‘E5’ would be displayed.
E6:LaserStart Error: This is displayed when an attempt is
made to start a LaserDisk (or DVD) show by sending it a
‘search for frame number command’. After a number of
tries (which can be set from one to two hundred fifty-six in
the configuration of the Smart Brick Brain), the Smart Brick
Brain will then try to start up the LaserDisk (or DVD) player
(see ‘F2’ below).
E7:LaserLoop Error: This is displayed when an error is made
in the response received from a LaserDisk (or DVD) player
while it is running a LaserDisk (or DVD) show.
E8:Start Error: The only time this error is displayed is when
the time code is asking for a show frame number which
is actually before the first frame of the show being
played. About the only way of getting the system into
this condition is to use the manual controls on the front of
the LaserDisk (or DVD) player to manually ‘rewind’ the
show to a frame number before the start of the show.
E9:Response Error: This error is displayed when a string
being sent at the start or end of a show has requested a
character to be returned by whatever is attached to the
serial port, and nothing has been returned within about
45 seconds. About the only time you will see this error is
when the LaserDisk (or DVD) player is actually turned off
when an attempt is made to start a LaserDisk (or DVD)
clocked show.
EA:Call Home: If this error message ever appears in the
‘hour’ display, you should call the vendor who installed
your show.
