Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 166)

from the Smart Brick System, this would normally be used
to rewind the tape deck at the end of the last show on
the tape.
LaserSearch for CLV LaserDisks (or DVD)s: (08): (Rack
Smart Brick Brain only!) When found in a string, causes it
to send out a search command to the LaserDisk (or DVD)
player to find the frame number found in the LaserDisk
Start for the current show. This command is for use with
CLV players only. These use ‘time’ references rather than
‘frame’ numbers to access the disk, and can hold up to
one hour worth of data.
LaserSearch for CLV LaserDisks (or DVD)s: (09): (Rack
Smart Brick Brain only!) As above, but searches for hour
one, rather than hour zero.
Don't Care: (80h): This character is used when you need to
get an ASCII character returned from the serial port, but
just don’t give a damn what it is that you receive. The
Smart Brick Brain will simply wait until it gets any character
through the serial port. This is the only one of the ‘special
characters’ which is used when receiving characters
from the serial port.
The strings are up to twelve characters long. The first seven
can be accessed directly at the start or end of any show. All the
characters in a string will be sent until a ‘00’ is encountered in the
string. If no ‘00’ is found, they will simply fall through to the start of
the next string and start sending it as well. This allows you to send
long strings made of of several of the individual strings, or to ac-
cess the last two strings. As an example of this:
If you needed to send a string thirty characters long, you
could start by using string seven for the first twelve characters,
and then string eight for the next twelve characters, while the last
six characters would be found in string nine.
