CLD-V5000 Internal Player Controls CLD-V5000 Control Blocks The following control blocks are used within the CLD-V5000. 1.) Communication control block 2.) Player control block 1) Communication control block The communication control block is divided into eleven units. It analyzes commands sent via various input methods, and executes the commands.
CLD-V5000 Internal Player Controls Character Generator The CLD-V2800 can generate character signals to be superimposed on the video signals displayed by the player. Character data is sent from the command processor to the character generator. The CLD-V5000 can generate characters on Lines 0-9, ten lines with up to 20 characters each. Status display LED The CLD-V5000 has a display window that provides status information. LED Driver The LED driver turns on the LED indicators.

CLD-V5000 Internal Player Controls Independent Command Processor The CLD-V5000 player 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.
CLD-V5000 Internal Player Controls 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. If arguments and commands are input, the decoder generates the internal code corresponding to the input data.
CLD-V5000 Internal Player Controls Mark Chapter or Mark Track Register This register stores a chapter (LD) or track (CD) number marker. If a marker is set and the address specification flag indicates chapter or track, the contents of this register are compared with the current chapter or track. If they match, the player automatically pauses at the chapter or track. Mark Index Register This register stores an index (CD) number marker.
Appendix D: CLD-V5000 Internal Player Registers APPENDIX D CLD-V5000 LEVEL III USER’S MANUAL Programmer’s Reference Guide CLD-V5000 Level III User’s Manual TP 121 v. 1.
CLD-V5000 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-V5000. 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.
CLD-V5000 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. 5.
CLD-V5000 Internal Player Registers 11. Search Frame or Time (including Block) Contains the frame number (LD-CAV), time (LD-CLV, CD) or time including block number (CD) to be searched. The search operation is performed while comparing the contents of the Search Frame or Time Register and Current Frame or Time Register. 12. Search Chapter or Track Contains the chapter number (LD) or track number (CD) to be searched. Its use is the same as that of the Search Frame or Time Register. 13.

CLD-V5000 Sequential Playback Two or more CLD-V5000 players can be connected via the RS-232 ports for continuous sequential playback of discs. The following explains how to set up two or more CLD-V5000 players for sequential playback. 1. Connections The following figures show the RS-232C pin connections for sequential playback. Figure 1 shows a two player connection for sequential playback. Figure 2 shows how three or more players can be connected.
CLD-V5000 Sequential Playback 2. Function SW Settings Set the function switches on the back of each CLD-5000 to be connected in a sequenctial playback series as follows: • SW1, 2: BAUD Rate All players must be set to the same baud rate for sequential playback. See pg 2-4 & 2-6. • SW3: Single-Side or Both-Side Playback Each player can be set individually.

CLD-V5000 Notes 1) The model number of the CLD-V5000 in response to ?X is P1542XX 2) If a picture stop code is recorded on currently playing CAV LaserDisc, the player enters Still Mode at the stop code point. If a picture stop is encountered during a stop marker or auto stop segment play, an error message is returned. 3) If a frame specified by an auto stop or by a stop marker is missing, the player enters Still Mode just beyond the specified frame.
