Since the Smart Bricks donÕt have any frame counters on them, two styles of Heads Up
Display are available for use in the Smart Brick System. One is a stand-alone unit, while
the other is made to mount in a standard 19Ò rack. They will provide you with a large for-
mat display of the show time (SMPTE time code if using it), and frame number in the Smart
Bricks being accessed. Additionally, they will display the countdown until the start of the
next show if this feature is used. Like the Smart Bricks, any number of these Heads Up
Displays can be placed anywhere in the system by simply plugging them into the same
6 conductor telephone line which connects the Smart Bricks with the Brick Brain. They can
be installed as a permanent part of the system or temporarily for use while programming
the show. The stand-alone Heads-Up-Display is not multiplexed, which allows it to appear
on film or video without any flickering

Quick Start:
When shipped, the Brick Brain is usually configured to start
playing show number one when the 'manual start' push-
button on its front is pressed. This show is set up to clock
from the internal time base at 30 frames per second. To
see the system work, attach some Smart Bricks and Heads
Up Displays to the connector marked 'to smart bricks' on
the Brick Brain and plug everything in. When you push the
'manual start' pushbutton, you should see the system start
clocking through the frames. If you then attach a Micro
Console to a record/playback Smart Brick, you should be
able to turn on the key on Smart Brick's front and actually
start recording show data. Each time you push the 'manu-
al start' button, show number one should start over from its
beginning.
