F) Continue Show
The opposite of the ‘Pause’ Input Action, this will allow a paused show
to return to playing. On the Br-EFB’s menus, the show status will be shown
as ‘looping’ or ‘playing’, depending on what its status was before the
’pause’.
G) E-stop Show
This stops an Br-EFB playing immediately, and prevents the Br-EFB
from being restarted until the ‘Clear E-Stop’ input action is received, or the
Br-EFB is reset.
Use the drop down to the right of the Input Action to select whether this
Input Action will freeze the outputs at the ‘Current Frame’ or outputs the
first frame of a specific show (Analog outputs will be EasedIn so they don’t
jump). All the shows in the AutoDownload list will be shown in the drop
down, and you can select the specific one you would like to use for
E-Stops.
Freezing at the current frame is used when additional movements on
the analog outputs is more hazardous than leaving them right where they
are (which is often the case on motion bases).
Jumping to the first frame of a specified show allows you to define the
E-Stop output levels for all analogs and digitals. Use this to turn on
emergency lighting, open doors, and return all outputs to a safe ‘home’
position.
The E-Stop Input Action is most commonly used on the ‘opening’ edge
input. This is so a wire break or other fault between the Br-EFB and an
E-Stop button will ‘fail safe’ on the Br-EFB.
On the Br-EFB’s menus, the show status will be shown as ‘E-Stop’, to
indicate that the Br-EFB has been locked up and will not be allowed to
start any other shows until the E-Stop is E-Cleared.
H) Clear E-stop
This just clears the lock that the E-Stop puts on an Br-EFB. This lock
prevents it from starting any other shows until it has been cleared.
The ‘Clear E-Stop’ Input Action is most commonly used on the closing
edge of the same input that triggers the E-Stop. This is so that pulling the
