Gilderfluke&Co 'Smart' Brick Animation Control System - Manual (Page 94)

- Rack Smart Brick Brain Show Menu -
This screen is entered through the MORE command from any
other screen. It is used to set up the two hundred fifty-five possible
shows which a Smart Brick System can control. There are two hun-
dred fifty-five possible shows, valid entries are from 1 to 255 (01H
to FFH). Selections through the serial port and 1/4 J6 port are al-
ways in Hexadecimal binary numbers. If you are using decimal
numbering when setting up shows, you can use the chart at the
end of this manual to translate these to Hexadecimal values.
When configuring Smpte shows, the hour byte is used to se-
lect the shows. Since these actually come from the Smpte ‘hours’,
and this is a BCD number, valid decimal show numbers for
Smpte shows are:
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21,
22, 23, 24, 25, 32, 33, 34, 35, and 36
The Hexadecimal equivalents for these show numbers are:
01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15,
16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24
Show number 00 is invalid for a Smart Brick Brain, but it is valid
as a Smpte hour number. For this reason show number 36 (24h)
is actually selected when the Smart Brick Brain gets a Smpte
‘hour’ of 00. An error message will be displayed if the Rack Smart
Brick Brain receives a Smpte hour which refers to a show that is
not configured for Smpte.
All of the ‘show specific’ configuration settings can be down-
loaded from the PC•MACs to the Smart Brick Brain. These are all of
the settings that are normally set in this menu. No other settings in
the Smart Brick Brain will be affected.
The Show Setup screen looks something like this:
