Specifications

• tk-sk is the reproducer number (1-based) and socket ('mode')
• sn is the sound number or video number on the reproducer.
generates F0 7F id 02 7F 01 T1 T0 00 SK 00 S2 S1 S0 F7 for type 1
or F0 7F id 02 7F 03 T1 T0 00 SK 00 S2 S1 S0 F7 for type 2
• id is either 7F (if ua is 127) or ua + 8 (since ua is 1-based).
• T1/T0 is a two ascii-digit sequence giving tk, i.e, if tk is 20, this short string is
"20".
• SK is an ascii-digit giving the value of sk, i.e., 1 -> "1".
• S2/S1/S0 is a three ascii-digit sequence giving the value of sn;
• for the Digital Binloop the range is "001" to "511". These are direct translations
of sn, no offsets.
for values of tk from 50-62, 'groups' of reproducers are played, see the
AlcornMcBride manual. If tk is 63, all reproducers play.
As for PLAY; generates F0 7F id 02 7F 02 T1 T0 00 SK 00 S2 S1 S0 F7 for type 1 or 2
STOP 'db' DEVICE ua-ty TRACK tk-sk SEGMENT sn ;
Starts the SMPTE generator. Generates F0 7F id 02 7F 15 F7
PLAY 'db' DEVICE ua-3 ;
Stops the SMPTE generator. Generates F0 7F id 02 7F 16 F7
STOP 'db' DEVICE ua-3 ;
Resets the SMPTE generator. Generates F0 7F id 02 7F 17 F7
RESET 'db' DEVICE ua-3 ;
Transmits the character string included within the quotes, verbatim, to the Binloop Autopatch
device. This can be used to transmit commands that are not directly supported by the driver.
SEND 'db' "anystring\xD" ;
EXAMPLES:
In our test unit there was a single reproducer installed in the left-most slot, with a single
PCMCIA hard disk, containing one sound segment. The controlling SEM was in slot 5 of
rack 0, and we used port 0 for it. To play that segment, the Media Pro statement was:
PLAY @R0,5,0 DEVICE 127-1 TRACK 1-1 SEGMENT 1 ;
127-1 specifies an un-synchronized play to the 'wildcard' device id
1-1 specifies reproducer 1 'socket' 1 (both channels mono or stereo)
1 specifies sound number 1
The stop command is IDENTICAL except that the verb PLAY is changed to STOP:
STOP @R0,5,0 DEVICE 127-1 TRACK 1-1 SEGMENT 1 ;
To set up for synchronous play, use:
PLAY @R0,5,0 DEVICE 127-2 TRACK 1-1 SEGMENT 1 ;
