Gilderfluke&Co BR-SmartMedia - Manual (Page 13)

Brain tells all the 'Smart' Bricks attached to it (includ-
ing the BR-SmartMedia) where in the show it is. The
BR-SmartMedia then uses this information to access
the appropriate data in the AutoDownload file on
the SmartMedia Flash Card and update its out-
puts.
The animation sequence which is to be used on
the BR-SmartMedia is usually generated on a
PC•MACs Animation Control System. During pro-
gramming, the DMX-512 input or RealTime up-
dates through RS-422 serial port can be used so
that you can see the animation sequence as it is
programmed. Once programming is completed
and your show(s) saved to disk, the data is down-
loaded to the SmartMedia onboard the BR-
SmartMedia.
In all of the above modes, all 256 channels of
DMX-512 of the AutoDownload file on the
SmartMedia Flash Card are transmitted through
the Z-Brick and/or DMX-512 data outputs. The Z-
Brick output can be used for additional digital out-
puts through one or more Z-Bricks. The DMX-512
output can be used to control light dimmers, auto-
mated spotlights, color changers, fog and wind
machines, or any other pieces of equipment which
will accept standard DMX-512 inputs.
Using the serial port, up to 256 BR-SmartMedia
cards (or any other Gilderfluke & Co. cards) can
share the same ‘multidrop’ RS-422 serial network.
This can easily interface with commercially made
touch screen operator panels, PCs, or even
modems to control and monitor the system from
around the block or from the other side of the world.
