On the Front of the BR-SmartMedia
A) Show Running LEDs:
These eight LEDs are lit to show that a se-
quencer is running a show. In MultiShow mode, all eight of these
LEDs are used. In any of the single sequencer modes of opera-
tion, only the ‘Sequencer A’ LED will light to show that it is running
a show (or advancing frames if being operated from a Smart Brick
Brain as a ‘Smart’ Brick).
During ‘Ease-Ins’, these LEDs will flash to show that the se-
quencers are in the process of doing an Ease-In.
Some operations that monopolize the CPU on the BR-
SmartMedia will shut down all other normal operations. During
these times, these eight LEDs will flash in a circular chase pattern
to show the card is occupied. Some of the things that will cause
this condition are:
a) Doing initial mapping of the AutoDownload file on the
SmartMedia Flash Card the first time it is plugged in. The BR-
SmartMedia must read the entire AutoDownload file off the
SmartMedia Flash Card to find where Windows has hidden
all of its parts.
b) During AutoDownloads.
c) Configuration downloads.
d) Configuration uploads.
B) SmartMedia Activity LED:
This LED lights when any extended
SmartMedia operation is going on. Just like the light on the front
of a floppy disk drive, you should not remove the SmartMedia
Flash Card or power down the BR-SmartMedia card while this LED
is lit.
C) Z-Brick Connector:
This twenty pin IDS connector is used to con-
nect to one or more Z-Bricks. When enabled, the BR-SmartMedia
outputs data from the DMX-512 input or onboard SmartMedia to
this connector. The format of the data is as follows:
IDS pin #
