CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Internal Player Controls Independent Command Processor The CLD-V2600 and the CLD-V2400 players can be controlled by several different methods: From the Front Panel Buttons, the Remote Control Unit or Barcode Reader (Level I) or from an external computer via the RS-232 port (Level III). An independent command processor inside the player assures the most appropriate operating environment is used. Because of this, the same commands may perform differently, depending on the control method.
PAGE 136
CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Internal Player Controls Digit Buffer (manual control) This buffer stores the numeric values of arguments for normal control operations. The contents of this buffer are sent to the specified register for command execution. Command Processor (manual control) This reads the contents of the RCU/key decoder and sends the contents to the digit buffer if they are arguments, or executes the command if the RCU/key decoder contains a command. RCU/Key Decoder This monitors RCU/key inputs.

CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400 Internal Player Controls Mark Frame or Mark Time Register This register stores a frame (LD-CAV) or time (LD-CLV or CD) number marker. If a marker is set and the address specification flag indicates frame or time, the contents of this register are compared with the current frame or time. If they match, the player automatically holds a still frame or pauses at a specific time location. Mark Chapter or Mark Track Register This register stores a chapter (LD) or track (CD) number marker.

CLD-V2600/2400 Internal Player Registers Many commands given to the player are accompanied by such arguments as frame number or chapter number. These values are set in the respective registers of the player. The following figure shows a model of the internal registers of the CLD-V2600 & CLD-V2400. It illustrates the relationship between the registers. This model is helpful in understanding the initial state of a particular register or how a given command changes the contents of a register.
PAGE 139
CLD-V2600/2400 Internal Player Registers The registers have the following functions. 1. Current Frame or Time (including Block number) Contains the current picture frame number (LD-CAV),or contains the current time number (LD-CLV or CD) or time and block numbers (CD). 2. P-Time Contains the track internal elapsed time. This is mainly for display purposes. 3. Current Chapter or Track Number Contains the current chapter number (LD) or track number (CD). 4. Current Index Contains the current index number.
