only need to run a single sequencer at one time.
Animation and lighting data is stored on the
SmartMedia Flash Card and transmitted out in a DMX-
512 and/or secondary serial data port. The serial data

has dedicated modes for controlling MIDI devices,
Moog Motion Bases, Intelix matrix mixers, Rexroth DCC
Servo cards, and more. The second serial port can be
set to operate at baud rates from 2400 baud to 115
KBaud.

‘Dumb’ bricks can be triggered simultaneously, but
will not be automatically synchronized as the Bricks
in a ‘Smart’ Brick system are.
This BR-SmartMedia acts just like any other
Playback-Only 'Dumb' Brick, playing animation

play when triggered. The start trigger can come
through the four optically isolated trigger inputs, or
the RS-422 serial port. The BR-SmartMedia then
