Gilderfluke&Co BR-MultiBrick32 - Manual (Page 7)

BR-MultiBrick32 Overview
The BR-MultiBrick32 is a complete stand-alone Show Control
System. The BR-MultiBrick32 can be used singly, or in combina-
tion with additional BR-MultiBrick32s, BS-BRN-CRDs, BR-
SmartMedia cards or any Gilderfluke & Co. Digital Audio Re-
peater. It can be used to control animated shows and displays,
fountains, fireworks, lighting, sound systems, simulators, slide and
movie projectors, fiber optics, window displays, motors, pneu-
matic and hydraulic systems, neon special effects, signs, machi-
nes and machine tools in process control, or anything else that
can be controlled by an electrical signal.
The BR-MultiBrick32 is programmed using our PC•MACs Show
Control software. While programming, data can be sent to the
BR-MultiBrick32 through its DMX-512 input or RS-422 serial port.
Once programed, data is sent to the BR-MultiBrick32 through the
PC’s serial port for permanent storage. The BR-MultiBrick32 can
then be disconnected from the PC and it will run all by itself.
When used with a ‘Hardwareless RealTime’ licensed copy of
PC•MACs software, up to four BR-MultiBrick32s can have their out-
puts programmed and updated in real time with just a PC and
a serial connection. When used with the PC•MACs hardware
(MACs-SMP or MACs-USB Smpte Card), up to sixty-four BR-
MultiBrick32s can be updated in realtime through the DMX-512
port.
Features of the BR-MultiBrick32 include:
• Automatic ‘program in place’ download through the serial port on
your PC. There are no Eproms to program or install! The amount
of time it takes to download shows the BR-MultiBrick32 depends on
the length of the show(s). Short shows take only seconds. Shows
that fill the entire BR-MultiBrick32s memory will take about ten min-
utes to download.
• Each BR-MultiBrick32 comes with a minimum of four MBytes of
nonvolatile memory. This gives a show capacity of over seventy-
two minutes at thirty frames per second! Once downloaded, show
