Synchronously Play Clip
Description: This command functions exactly like the Play Clip command, except that the
playback does not begin as quickly as possible. Instead, the reproducer waits a
consistent amount of time (16 frames by default) after the command is received
before it starts playback. This ensures that all reproducers that receive this
command at the same time, start playing at the same time.
Command: nnnnaaaSP
Parameters: nnnn is an ASCII file number between 0-1023
aaa is the address of the card(s) you want to process the command
Rxx – Reproducer address between R1-R16
Gxx – Group address between G1-G13
* - Wildcard address for all reproducers
Response: R
Comments: This command is almost always addressed to either a Group or All reproducers
to ensure that they all start playing synchronously.
Examples: Synchronously Play File 2 on Group 1: 2G1SP
Synchronously Play File 2 on All Reproducers: 2*SP
Synchronously Play/Loop Clip
Description: This command functions like the Synchronously Play Clip command, except that
the clip loops once the end of the clip is reached.
Command: nnnnaaaSL
Parameters: nnnn is an ASCII file number between 0-1023
aaa is the address of the card(s) you want to process the command
Rxx – Reproducer address between R1-R16
Gxx – Group address between G1-G13
* - Wildcard address for all reproducers
Response: R
Examples: Synchronously Loop File 2 on Group 1: 2G1SL
Synchronously Loop File 2 on All Reproducers: 2*SL
Comments: If you plan to synchronously loop files on multiple reproducers, the clips MUST
be identical in length. If it’s a video, they must be identical down to the frame. If
it’s audio, they must be identical down to the sample. If they are not, the clips will
not remain in sync after the loop point.
