Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 81)

to try and spin up the LaserDisk (or DVD). The error mes-
sage ‘F2’ will then be displayed as an attempt is being
made to start up the LaserDisk (or DVD) player.
“u” On Startup:
You can tell the Smart Brick Brain to ‘WAIT’, ‘START’ or
‘START LOOPING’ a specific show. If you set it to ‘Wait’, the
first frame of the selected show will be sent out from all of
the Smart Bricks attached to this Smart Brick Brain. If you
set it to ‘START’, the Smart Brick System to play a single
show and then stop and wait for the next command.
‘START LOOPING’ is used if you want it to continue playing
shows until it is told to stop.
Any show can be selected for the startup show. It’s
name is displayed on the next line below this com-
mand.
“v” Immediate Jumps:
This toggle is used if you want to let the Smart Brick
Brain play consecutive shows which are tightly chained
together (by having ‘At end of show’ set to ‘IMMEDIATE’ in
the shows’ 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 don’t
want the Smart Brick Brain to stop right between any two
segments if it receives a ‘STOP AT END’ command.
The ‘At end of show’ ‘Jump Immediately’ setting can
be used to build up longer shows from a number of
shorter segments. You might want to do this if you are fix-
ing a error in the show burnt onto a LaserDisk or DVD
(skipping over a slow part of the show, for example), or to
build up a show which runs continuously between the
main shows, but has a number of ‘seams’ where it can
branch to another show if one is specifically requested.
