Owner's manual

The Rack Smart Brick Brain can sequentially control up to
seven LaserDisk (or DVD) Players using the LaserDisk multiplexer
(BS-LDMUX15 for Pioneer/Panasonic players or BS-LDMUX25 for
Sony). This attaches to the Rack Smart Brick Brain through its relay
outputs and RS-422 serial port as shown in the following drawing.
The BS-LDMUX also converts the RS-422 ports on the Rack Smart
Brick Brain to the RS-232 needed by the LaserDisk (or DVD) play-
ers. Indicator LEDs show serial data being sent to and received
from the different LaserDisks (or DVD)s. The serial ports on the
LaserDisk Multiplexer are at RS-232 levels. Standard fifteen
(Pioneer or Panasonic) or twenty-five pin (Sony) cables can be
used to attach the LaserDisks to it. A small twelve VAC power sup-
ply runs the LaserDisk Multiplexer. The Rack Smart Brick Brain’s
relay outputs can not be used for any other purpose when run-
ning multiple LaserDisk (or DVD) players.
The majority of Backplane Connections are typically made
through the 40 pin IDS connector on a Brick card cage:
