next show had there not been a special request made.
If a show selection has been made inadvertently, it
can be cleared by sending a request for SHOW# 00 at
any time before it begins playing. Show requests from
the serial port have the highest priority in the Smart Brick
System.
“=” (track#) (address) Set Brick Address:
The address being sent to the Smart Bricks from a
Smart Brick Brain can be altered by using this com-
mand. This can be used to send a specific address to
all of the Smart Bricks to set all of the outputs to the val-
ues stored at this address, or to alter the address coun-
ters of an internally or externally clocked animated show
while it is running. Using this command on LaserDisk (or
DVD) or Smpte clocked shows while they are running will
have minimal effect, as the address will go back to what
it should have been as soon as the next frame of time
code is received.
EXAMPLE: to set all of the Smart Bricks on Smart Brick
Brain 00 to address 1234:=
=001234
“`” Advance One Frame:
“~” Go Back One Frame:
These commands are uses as a test feature or to do
a little single step programming. The first will advance
the frame counters by one frame, while the second will
subtract one frame from the current frame count. Be
aware that the minutes, seconds and frame counters
may not be incremented properly, and definitely won’t
be decremented at all. A Smart Brick will only accept
and remember data while stepping forward into a new
frame.
