You can program the animation at these ‘seams’ so that
there will be no jumps when the other shows start and
end.

“w” Countdown Hold:

When this toggle is ON, then the delay between

shows countdown can be temporarily stopped by ap-
plying a signal to the GREEN input.

“y” Player Type:

For those shows which are running from a LaserDisk or

DVD, this command toggles the Smart Brick Brain be-
tween using the command format used by Pioneer,
Sony or Panasonic LaserDisk Players. The only com-
mands which are affected by this toggle are the
‘SEARCH’ and ‘SPIN UP’ commands which are sent to the
players when a LaserSearch (01) is included in a start or
end string, and the ‘FRAME INQUIRY’ commands sent to
the player during a show. All of these happen transpar-
ently to the user once this toggle has been set.

“z” LaserDisk Time:

When this toggle is ON, LaserDisk or DVD clocked

shows will display the actual frame being accessed on
the LaserDisk or DVD instead of the show time. If a CAV
disk is being used, then the frames will be in decimal
numbers (00,001 to 54,000). If a CLV disk is being used,
then the time will be displayed in a ‘time’ format. The
show time is always displayed in a ‘time’ format.

“+” Dropout Protection:

When this toggle is ON, the Rack Smart Brick Brain will

bridge over any gap in the Smpte or LaserDisk or DVD
time code that lasts more than two frames. If the time
code picks back up the Rack Smart Brick Brain will lock
