- Countdown Between Shows -

At the end of any show you can tell the Brick Brain to either stop, chain immediately to the next

show, or start a countdown. At the end of this countdown, you can tell the system to start the next show,

or just close one of the relay outputs which are normally used to control the tape deck if you need to

trigger some other piece of equipment

The length of the countdown can be set at any time by setting a thumbwheel switch located on the

front of the Smart Brick Brain. The positions set the delays as follows:

1) 1 x 'delay reload' (for 15 seconds delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

2) 2 x 'delay reload' (for 30 seconds delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

3) 4 x 'delay reload' (for 1 minute delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

4) 8 x 'delay reload' (for 2 minutes delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

5) 20 x 'delay reload' (for 5 minutes delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

6) 40 x 'delay reload' (for 10 minutes delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

7) 80 x 'delay reload' (for 20 minutes delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

8) 120 x 'delay reload' (for 30 minutes delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

9) 240 x 'delay reload' (for 1 hour delay when delay reload is set to 15 seconds)

0) stops cycling shows

The 'DELAY RELOAD' value is set in the configuration menu. A typical value is 15 seconds. This give

you the delays shown above. If the value for the 'DELAY RELOAD' were doubled, then the delays would

also double. If it were set to a value of 90 seconds, the maximum delay would be 6 hours. If during the

course of a countdown the Brick Brain gets any ÔRESETÕ command (either through the serial port or any of

the hardware inputs) it will re-start the countdown from the initial value as set by the thumbwheel switch

and 'DELAY RELOAD' value.

At the end of the countdown, the Brick Brain again checks the value on the thumbwheel switch. If it

is now set to Ô0Õ, then the Brick Brain takes no further action. If it is set to anything else, then it treats the

end of the countdown just like an input coming from one of the Brick BrainÕs switch inputs. You can tell

the Brick Brain to do any of the following:

1) Reset

2) + Frame

3) Start

4) Start Looping (normal setting)

5) Stop

6) Stop at end

7) a) close ÔstopÕ relay output

b) close ÔrewindÕ relay output

c) close ÔplayÕ relay output

Setting the ÔResetÕ, Ô+ FrameÕ, ÔStopÕ, or ÔStop at EndÕ settings are fairly pointless in that there will be

no shows running when the countdown ends, and so should never be needed. Setting the ÔSTARTÕ com-

mand will start whatever the next show should be as set by the Ônext showÕ entry in the configuration for

the last show which was played (see the show configuration section of this manual). At the end of that

show, however, nothing more will happen.

The normal setting for the end of the countdown is to ÔSTART LOOPINGÕ. This tells the Brick Brain to

start the ÔnextÕ show playing just as with the ÔSTARTÕ command, but at the end of this show, it will check

the configuration for the show to see if the ÔIMMEDIATEÕ or ÔDELAYÕ flags are set. If they are, then the next

show or a new delay will be started as appropriate. The Smart Brick System can then continue cycling

shows until it is told to stop. Any one of the tape deck output commands can be used by themselves or

in conjunction with any of the other commands.
