3.3 Barcode Control
Barcodes provide a simple method of quickly retrieving program material from a
LaserDisc or from a CD. Scan a LaserBarcode™ with a Pioneer barcode reader and
send the command to the CLD-V2600 or the CLD-V2400 to display still frames or play
video/audio segments on a CAV disc or chapter segments on a CLV disc. Scan a
LaserBarcode 2™ extended barcode to play a time segment on a CLV disc, to play a
CAV disc in slow motion, or to access digital audio. Scan a Barcode-CD™ to playback
audio segments from a CD. Barcode commands can be scanned using either the
Pioneer “AutoScanning” UC-V108BC Barcode Reader, the Pioneer UC-V109 Barcode
Reader, or the discontinued UC-V104BC. The barcode commands are then sent to the
player via infrared signal through the remote sensor or via a wired connection through
the barcode terminal on the front of the player.
3.3.1 LB Original Commands and LB2 Commands
All current Pioneer industrial videodisc players support the original LaserBarcode
standard commands. As of August 1, 1992 the LaserBarcode Association officially
revised the LaserBarcode standard. This new standard, the LaserBarcode 2
Standard (LB2), has also been adopted by Pioneer. It includes all of the barcode
functions available within the original LaserBarcode standard command set and
provides “extended commands” for time searches and time segment plays on CLV
discs, slow motion playback on CAV discs, and access to digital audio. See
Appendix D for LB and LB2 command descriptions and sample barcodes.
3.3.2 Barcode CD

Commands
The Barcode CD command set, used to control the CLD-V2600 and the
CLD-V2400 when CDs are playing, consists of four commands. These are Play
Track, Play from Track, Play Index and Play Time Segment. See Appendix E for
sample Barcode CD barcodes and command descriptions. Refer also to Technical
Bulletin #138, CLD-V2400 /CLD-V2600 and CD-Audio Basics, and Technical
Bulletin #140, CD Barcode and the CLD-V2400/CLD-V2600.
3.3.3 Creating Barcodes
Bar’n’Coder, Hypercard Barcode Printing Software for the Macintosh, can be used
to create original LaserBarcode, LaserBarcode 2, and Barcode CD barcodes.
Barkoder for Windows is a software package used to create LaserBarcodes, LB2
and Barcode CD barcodes on an IBM PC or compatible running DOS 3.0 and
Windows 3.1 or above. LaserDisc Controller is available for IBM PC and
compatible machines running DOS 3.0 or above, without Windows. All three
barcode creation software packages are available through Authorized Pioneer
