Gilderfluke&Co old Smart Brick Manual - Manual (Page 138)

Notice that after the LaserSearch command we have to then tell the LaserDisk to start playing, and
that we tell the Brick Brain to wait until it gets an ÔACKÕ (0A) back from the LaserDisk player so we know
that the command has been accepted. After this we have a Ф00Х to tell the Brick Brain that it has found
the end of the string.
A typical end string for a Sony LaserDisk show is:
STILL <ACK> end-o-string
Translated into HEX ASCII, this string becomes (this is what you would enter):
4F 8A 00
and it would be displayed on the String Setup Menu as:
4F (0A) 00
The format of this string is pretty much like that of the startup string, except that there is no need to
send the LaserSearch string as was done at the beginning of the show, and the F-PLAY command has
been replaced by a STILL command for the LaserDisk player. This freezes the image to whatever the last
image on the video disk was. Other commands are available for blanking out the video, ejecting the
disk, or a variety of other things. You can even build up a string which will tell the LaserDisk player to
search for another frame on the disk and freeze or start playing from that frame. If no command is given
to the LaserDisk player at the end of a LaserDisk show, then the player will continue playing along until
the end of the disk is reached or another command is received.
The following is a partial listing of the commands supported by Sony LaserDisk players. It is by no
means a complete list of all of the commands available to you, but includes those common commands
which you may actually need. Not all Sony players support this full range of commands or respond in
the same way to the commands sent to them. These particular commands are from a LDP-1500Õs manu-
al, and so may not be applicable to all Sony players. The values shown are what you would actually
enter into the strings.
