Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System User Manual

F1:Sending String: This code indicates that a string is being

sent at the start or end of a show. When this code is dis-
played, the ‘Minutes’ will be showing the string number
being sent out, the ‘Seconds’ showing the entry number
in the string which is being sent out, and the ‘Frames’
showing what the entry is which is being sent. Normally
this flashes by so fast that you can’t read it, but is useful
when there is a holdup of some sort in the string. Typical
of these is if the LaserDisk (or DVD) doesn't’ respond to a
command as expected, or when you have put an entry
in the string which causes the Smart Brick Brain to wait for
a switch closure to come in on one of it’s inputs.

F2:Starting LaserDisk (or DVD): After the Smart Brick Brain

has tried telling the LaserDisk (or DVD) player to search for
the starting frame of the show for the number of times set
in the configuration (an ‘E6’ is displayed while it is doing
this), the Smart Brick Brain will send a ‘start-up’ sequence
of commands to try to tell the LaserDisk (or DVD) player to
close the door and spin up the disk.
