. 

When not  playing,  it  will  be very  dim.  While 
playing,  it  will  flicker at  a high rate of  speed. 
The  faster  the  flicker,  the  higher  your 
SoundFile’s bit rate.

RS-232 Serial Port:

An  RS-232  serial  port  is  built  in  to  every 

Sd-25

.  On the earlier versions of  the 

Sd-25

, 

the  serial  port  was  available  only  as  an 
option (part #

Sd-RS/232

).

The  serial  port  on  a 

Sd-25

  runs  at  a  fixed 

rate of 9600 baud, n, 8, 1.

Adapters  to attach  this  port  to a  PC or  Mac 
are available from Gilderfluke & Company as 
(as  part  numbers 

C-USB-RS232

  or 

USB-RS232/422

).  It  can  also  be  controlled 

from  a  Gilderfluke  &  Co. 

Br-SDC/09

  (a  null 

modem  cable  must  be  used  to  flip  pins  #2 
and #3 when used with a 

Br-SDC/09

).

The  RS-232  serial  port  uses  a 

⅛

”  (3.5mm) 

stereo plug.  The  pinout  to connect  this  to  a 
standard DE-09 connector as found on a PC 
or our serial adapters is as shown:

We  offer  a  ready-made  cable  as  our  part 

number 

Mp3-50/CBL

.

When  the 

Sd-25

  boots  or  a  Sd  card  is 

inserted, the 

Sd-25

 will list all the SoundFiles

that  are  found,  as  well  as  the  order  after 
sorting them alphanumerically:

When  any  SoundFile  is  played,  the 

configuration settings and the name and info 
about  the  SoundFile  are  displayed  through 
the  serial  port.  The 

Sd-25

  then  reports  the 

SoundFile time as it plays.

If  set  for  DMX-512  input,  the  status  report 
will show which DMX-512 mode the player is 
in,  the  DMX-512  address,  if  DMX-512  is 
being  received,  and if  the DMX-512 packets 

contain GilderCheckSums.

 The speed at which the 

Sd-25

 counts the SoundFiles is perhaps the best indication of how ‘fast’ a SD flash card is. Fast cards will count up to ten SoundFiles 

each second. Slower cards may only count one SoundFile per second.
