ÒvÓ

Allow Chains:

This toggle is used if you want to let the Brick Brain play consecutive shows which are tightly chained

together (by having the ÔIMMEDIATEÕ flag set in the showsÕ configuration), even when the LOOPING
MODE is off. This should be set if you are building longer shows out of a number of shorter shows, and
you donÕt want the Brick Brain to stop right between any two segments if it receives a ÔSTOP AT ENDÕ com-
mand.

ÒwÓ

Countdown Hold:

When this toggle is ON, then the delay between shows countdown can be temporarily stopped by

applying a signal to the GREEN input.

ÒyÓ

Player Type:

For those shows which are running from a LaserDisk, this command toggles the Brick Brain between

using the command format used by Pioneer, Sony or Panasonic LaserDisk Players. The only commands
which are affected by this toggle are the ÔSEARCHÕ and ÔSPIN UPÕ commands which are sent to the play-
ers when a LaserSearch (01) is included in a start or end string, and the ÔFRAME INQUIRYÕ commands sent
to the player during a show. All of these happen transparently to the user once this toggle has been set.

ÒzÓ

LaserDisk Time:

When this toggle is ON, LaserDisk clocked shows will display the actual frame being accessed on the

LaserDisk instead of the show time. If a CAV disk is being used, then the frames will be in decimal num-
bers (00,001 to 54,000). If a CLV disk is being used, then the time will be displayed in a ÔtimeÕ format. The
show time is always displayed in a ÔtimeÕ format.

Т+У

Dropout Protection:

When this toggle is ON, the Rack Smart Brick Brain will bridge over any gap in the SMPTE or LaserDisk

time code that lasts more than two frames. If the time code picks back up the Rack Smart Brick Brain will
lock back onto it.
