The IR mode has some special features to keep it from continuously starting the same spiel
several times each second when an IR signal is continuously applied. Once a spiel has been
started by an IR input, that same spiel can not be retriggered by the IR until it has stopped
playing. Any other spiel can be triggered immediately. You can set the ÔEARLY STARTSÕ to ÔIG-
NOREХ, ТSTOREÕ or ÔJUMP IMMEDIATELYÕ as needed just as with any other trigger source when
operating in IR MODE.

ÒiÓ Left/Right Spiel Split (mono spiels only):
One of the design problems with a stereo channel repeater that can be used as two independent
mono channels is how to determine which mono spiels ÔbelongÕ to each side of the repeater. This com-
mand is used with mono spiels to ÔassignÕ all the spiels up to the threshold to the left output, while those
over this threshold are sent to the right. If you enter a zero value for this setting, then the ÔsplitÕ is disabled
and any mono spiel can be sent to either output of the repeater. The left/right split will have the follow-
ing effect on the following commands:
1) If Binary spiel requests are used to select a spiel through the 1/4 J6 inputs (or DMX input ÔaÕ mir-
rored to the 1/4 J6 inputs). Spiel numbers that are up to the split are sent to the left output of
the AB/DR-3000, while larger numbered requests are routed to the right output. This allows you
to set up the identical set of bits as binary spiel selects/triggers for both the left and right out-
puts. If a request comes in which is below the threshold, the AB/DR-3000 will know to route the
request to the left channel. If it is above the threshold, it will know to send it the right output.
If the bit that has been assigned as Ôbit zeroÕ is also being used to trigger actions on the
opening or closing edge of the entire binary word, it will only send the commands to the
channel for which the requested spiel is valid.
2) If no specific spiel is requested, each ÔstartÕ input will trigger the next spiel in turn. When the
left/right split has been set, the left channel will start with spiel number one, and play each
spiel until the threshold is reached. It will then recycle back to the first spiel. The right channel
will start with the first spiel after the threshold and play each spiel in turn until the last spiel is
played. It will then recycle back to the first spiel after the threshold.
3) If the Ôloop allÕ mode is set for either channel, the AB/DR-3000 will cycle the left channel
through the first spiel through the spiel at the threshold. The right channel will be cycled be-
tween the spiel after the threshold and the last spiel.
4) When selecting spiels through the IR Mode and the Left/Right Split has been set, spiel requests
up to the threshold will be sent out the Left output while those over it will be sent out the Right
output. If the Left/Right Split has not been set, then the eighth (high order) bit of the incoming
IR spiel selection is used to set whether the spiel will be sent out of the Left or Right outputs.
5) When the RESET command is received through he serial port: If stereo ROMs are installed or
the command is received by the left side repeater, then the Ônext spielÕ pointers are set the first
spiel on the repeater. If the Left/Right Split has been set, then the Right sideÕs ÔnextÕ is set to the
next spiel after the ÔsplitÕ. Otherwise it too is set to point to the first spiel.

ÒjÓ Left Group:
ÒqÓ Right Group (mono spiels only):
Any AB/DR-3000 or Smart Brick Brain can be configured to respond to one of sixteen possible ÔgroupÕ
commands issued through the serial port. This allows you to start several devices with only a single serial
command. This menu selection is used to set which group this card will respond to. The allowable range
for this entry is 0-9, A-F.
DR-3000s also have a second use for the ÔGroup StartsÕ. If a card is started that has a ÔGroup StartÕ
set on the Trigger Menu, it will relay that start command through the Digital Audio Bus to all the other DR-
3000s in the cage. All other DR-3000s that are using that group number will then be started within one
