signal ground
Data from a PC•MACs should be fed into pins #2 (-RxD) and
#3 (+RxD). The shield should be connected to pin #1.
‘Smart’ Brick Network: If Switch #4 is in the ‘Smart’ Brick position, the
BR-MultiBrick32 will be operating as a ‘Smart’ Brick. The ‘Smart’ Brick
Network normally found on a ‘Smart’ Brick is brought out on the
edge connector. When plugged into any Gilderfluke & Co. Brick
card cage, this will be brought out on a RJ-12 connector on the
card cage. A card cage should not have both ‘Smart’ and ‘Dumb’
Bricks in the same card cage. They share the same pins on the
edge connector and backplane. Damage may result if both are
installed in the same card cage.
The ‘Smart’ Brick Network signals to the BR-MultiBrick32 are
brought in through a six position RJ-12 (six position, six conductor
modular telephone style connector) on the card cage. Facing
the end of the cable with the release latch upwards, its pin out is
as follows:
COLOR SIGNAL NAME:
LEFT #1 white Smart Brick Net Data +
#2 black Smart Brick Net Data -
#3 red Smart Brick Net Clock +
#4 green Smart Brick Net Clock -
#5 yellow Smart Brick Net Strobe +
RIGHT #6 blue Smart Brick Net Strobe -
‘J8’ Inputs: If Switch #4 is in the ‘Dumb’ Brick position, the BR-
MultiBrick32 will be operating as a ‘Dumb’ Brick. The trigger inputs
and status output normally found on a ‘Dumb’ Brick are brought
out on the edge connector. When plugged into any Gilderfluke &
Co. Brick card cage, this will be brought out on a RJ-12 connec-
tor on the card cage. A card cage should not have both ‘Smart’
and ‘Dumb’ Bricks in the same card cage. They share the same
pins on the edge connector and backplane. Damage may result
if both are installed in the same card cage.
These are four optically isolated digital inputs which can be
used to start, stop, pause or select specific show sequences to
