then pause can not be used in MultiDisk applications.
After the final player has been positioned, the Start String
is sent to all of the players simultaneously. This start string
is just like the Start String you would use in any single
LaserDisk (or DVD) application, except the LaserStart spe-
cial string character (01) has been omitted. The
LaserStart special string character (01) in a Start String
would make all of the players try to find the frame num-
ber being used by the first LaserDisk (or DVD) player.
During the Start String, while running the show and
again during the End String, the Rack Smart Brick Brain
will be talking to all of the LaserDisks (or DVD)s in parallel
while only listening to the first one. All the players are start-
ed simultaneously and will continue to play in sync (es-
pecially if they are linked together using their ‘genlock’ in-
puts and outputs). Once started, any problem with play-
ers two through seven will be ignored.
This command is used to select which string will be
sent to spin up multiple LaserDisks (or DVD)s. If anything
other than zero is entered, the selected string will be sent
to each of the LaserDisk (or DVD) players in turn, starting
with number seven and working down to number one.
The Rack Smart Brick Brain will then send the Start String.
Although multi-disk strings are generally used when you
are running a LaserDisk (or DVD) show, you can send
them at the start of any type of show if you so desire.
