Gilderfluke&Co DMX-512 Output MultiShow Brick - Manual (Page 17)

ceived through the DMX-512 data input. Without it, the BR-MultiShow won't be able to recog-
nize errors in the incoming data, and may update the outputs with this bad data. It should be
left ON whenever running from a PC¥MACs or other DMX-512 source that supports this check-
sum.
d) VT-52 Compatible Display: When this toggle is enabled, the BR-MultiShow will use special es-
cape sequences to clear the screen (<ESC>ape 'E'), clear the current line (<ESC>ape 'l'), or
position the cursor (<ESC>ape 'Y' ROW COLUMN). When disabled, the BR-MultiShow has to re-
draw the entire screen to change any value, so it can save a good deal of screen redraw
time if you have a compatible display.

These are used to set what action will happen on each edge of each input. You can set a
different action on the opening and closing edge of each input. The options are:
a) Do Nothing: This input edge will not be used.
b) Start: One or more sequencers are started on this edge. You can specify which se-
quencer(s) are to be started, as well as which show. If you are starting more than a
single sequencer, you should select Ôwhatever is nextÕ instead of specifying a specific
show. Otherwise, the same show will be started on more than one sequencer simulta-
neously.
The only difference between this command and the ÔLoopÕ command is that if
you ÔStartÕ a show, then the BR-MultiShow will NOT check for another show to run at
the end of the show you are starting.
If another show was already running on a sequencer and another is started (the
show that is running was set to allow others to step on it), an Ease-In will smooth out
any jumps that might otherwise be created on the analog channels.
c) Stop Immediately: One or more sequencers are stopped immediately on this edge.
The data levels will be frozen at the current levels until another shoe is started. You
can specify which sequencer(s) are to be stopped. Stopping a sequencer which is not
running will have no effect.
d) Loop: This command is identical to the Start command above, except that at the end
of the show which was started, the BR-MultiShow will check for a Ôjump immediately to
next showÕ programmed into the show data. If there is one, the BR-MultiShow will start
the next show.
e) Stop at End: At the end of the currently looping show(s), the BR-MultiShow will NOT
check for another show to run. This command only effects sequencers that were start-
ed with the ÔLoopÕ command. You can specify which sequencer(s) are to be affected
by this command.
f) Pause Sequencer: This command will temporarily stop any show that is running on a
sequencer. Show data will freeze at the current levels until the show is ÔcontinuedÕ or
another show is started. You can specify which sequencer(s) are to be affected by
this command. Pausing a sequencer which is not running will have no effect.
g) Continue Sequencer: This command will restart any show that has been paused.
Show data will continue from the frame upon which the show was paused, so no
