Stop at End:
This command resets the ÔLOOPING SHOWSÕ flag. This means that the shows will stop play-
ing at the normal end of show and wonÕt start a new countdown under any circumstances,
and wonÕt chain unless the ALLOW CHAINS flag is set and there is a request for an IMMEDIATE
CHAIN at the end of the current show.
Tape Deck:
These allow you to trigger the START, STOP or REWIND relay outputs from one of the exter-
nal inputs or end of countdown.

Additional options can be set individually for the eight inputs on the 1/4 J6 cable. The current status
of each of these inputs (either opened or closed) is also displayed. For each input, you can select the
edge to trigger shows Sequentially, Randomly or Normally. If you select:
a) Sequentially: If you select this option, then you are asked for the range of shows that you want
to play. Each time this input is triggered, then the next show in this range will be played. As an
example of this, if you select a range of shows of ten to twenty: Show ten will be played on
the first on the first edge, show eleven on the next, etc.. After show twenty plays, then the
next show will be show ten again. Each time this window is displayed, the ÔnextÕ show which will
be played on each input which has been set for sequential operation will be displayed.
If the range of shows is just one show, then the text displayed will show that only a single
show will be requested and played on this input.
b) Randomly: If you select this option, then you are asked for the range of shows that you want
to play on this input. Each time this edge is triggered, one of the shows within this range will
be chosen at random and played. As an example of this, if you select a range of shows of ten
to twenty: Show ?? will be played on the first on the first edge, show ?? on the next, etc.. The
randomizer uses a separate counter for each of these inputs. This counts at ten Hertz from the
first show selected through the last and then recycles. When the user selects an input which
has been configured with this option, the Smart Brick Brain uses the current value of this coun-
ter to select and play a next show. If the randomizer played the same show the last time, it will
spin the randomizer another time to try and select another show to play. If after this second
spin, the same show comes up, then it will be played.
c) Normally: The inputs will behave as described as set by the next two options. You can select
whether the input will pause, continue, stop, stop at end, start, start looping, or trigger a tape
deck output.

ÒcÓ Select from J6:
If more than one show is stored on a single Smart Brick System, each one can be accessed individu-
ally and played back. Up to 255 of these shows can be stored on a single Smart Brick System. These re-
quests can be made through the serial port or through the 1/4 J6 Port.
This toggle enables the 1/4 J6 Port for requesting the shows on this Smart Brick System. There are two
methods of selecting shows from this port. Which one is used is selected by the DIRECT SELECT com-
