Th is ch apter provides an overview of th e player’s in tern al operation s — Operatin g

Modes an d th e player’s Active States; RS-232C In terface, an d Fu n ction Switch es.

Before developin g or presen tin g program s on th e CLD-V2800 th e u ser sh ou ld read

th is ch apter an d becom e fam iliar with the operational basics. (See Appen d ix B, C,

a n d D for d eta ils on CLD-V2 8 0 0 In ter fa ce Ca ble Specifica tion s, In ter n a l Pla yer

Con trols a n d In ter n a l Pla yer Registers.

2.1 Internal Operations

Th e player’s in tern al operatin g processes are classified in to two grou ps: Opera ting

Modes in dicatin g player operation statu s, an d Active Sta tes in dicatin g player

processin g statu s.

2.1.1 Operating Modes

Th e CLD-V2800 h as th e followin g two Opera ting Modes: Norma l Control Mode an d

Tes t Mode. (See Figu re 2 -A on n ext page.)

Th ese m odes are defin ed as follows:

1) Normal Control Mode

Wh en th e player’s power is tu rn ed on , th e player en ters Norma l Control

Mode. In th is m ode, th e player can be con trolled by pressin g bu tton s on th e

fron t pan el, by pressin g bu tton s on th e rem ote con trol u n it, by sen din g

com m an ds via th e Pion eer barcode reader, or by sen din g com m an ds from a

com pu ter via th e RS-232C con n ector.

2) Test Mode

The Test Mode is set in Register C u nder compu ter control. (See page 4-43) It

is u sed for player maintenance and management. This mode is u sed primarily

by Au thorized Service Company (ASC) personnel to determine key part

nu mbers of the player and to service the player. Generally, the player is not

controlled in this mode.

2.1.2 Active States

CLD-V2800 processing is performed within several distinct Active Sta tes. When a

command is execu ted, the Active Sta te changes inside the player. If you consider

player processing as a series of events within the Active Sta tes listed below, it is

easier to u nderstand the effects of variou s commands. The player’s five main Active

Sta tes are:

• Door Open

• Pa rk

• Spin Up

• Ra ndom Access

• Spin Down

The player is in Door Open before the disc is loaded into the disc tray. After the door

is closed, the player enters Pa rk. When a START or PLAY command is inpu t while

the player is in Pa rk, the disc starts rotating and the player enters Spin Up. When

the player is ready to play images, it enters Ra ndom Access. Ra ndom Access is

fu rther divided into Pla y, Still, Sca n, Pa use, Multi-Speed, Skip (Cha pter a nd Tra ck)

and Sea rch.

When a REJ ECT command is received, the player enters Spin Down Mode. Image

playback stops immediately, and disc rotation is gradu ally stopped, then the player

enters Pa rk. Figure 2-B, describes how the active states change within the player.

3 External Computer Control — Level III

This chapter describes the compu ter control protocol and specific commands u sed

for Level III control of the CLD-V2800 player. To attach a compu ter to the player via

the RS-232 port, refer to Appen d ix C, In ter fa ce Ca ble Specifica tion s. See

Section 2 .4 On -Scr een Fu n ction Switch es, page 2-6, to select Bau d Rate.

3.1 Command and Status

In th e CLD-V2800 extern al com pu ter con trol protocol, th e com pu ter tran sm its a

command; when the player completes execu tion of the command, it retu rns an “R”.

ASCII ch aracter codes are u sed for th e actu al com m an ds an d statu s respon ses.

Th e com m an d m n em on ic is expressed as two ASCII ch aracters. In m ost cases,

th ere is n o distin ction between th e u se of u ppercase or lowercase letters, an d th e

u se of u ppercase letters is recom m en ded.

im m ediately execu tes on e com m an d as soon as th e term in ator of th e com m an d

lin e, a <CR> (carriage retu rn ), is received.

Exa m p le: 1000SE<CR> : Search to fram e 1000.

In th is exam ple, wh en th e <CR> is received, com m an ds are execu ted sequ en tially

from th e first com m an d of th e bu ffer. Th e “R” is retu rn ed to th e com pu ter after th e

play segm en t is com pleted. If a <CR> is sen t before a com m an d or com m an d strin g

In th e com m an d lin e, codes su ch as <SPACE> or <LF> (lin e feed) th at do n ot affect

player operation are ign ored. Th e len gth of th e com m an d lin e is lim ited to th e

ch aracters. Th e <CR> or <LF> are n ot in clu ded in th e bu ffer size.

When all the commands in a string are completely execu ted, the player transmits the

“completion” message. (It sends an “R” <CR>.) If an error occu rs, an error m essage

su ch as E04 <CR> is retu rn ed by th e player. Th is in dicates th e error occu rren ce,

alon g with th e error code. See Sec. 3 .2 Er r or Mes s a ges, page 3-3.

The au tomatic retu rn of an “R” following command execu tion is called Automa tic

Sta tus. Automa tic Sta tus is very u sefu l when working with some compu ter

programs, becau se it allows the program to know the appropriate time to send the

next command. If this fu nction is not u sed, the command processing time mu st be

taken into consideration before the next command is sent. (To set Au tomatic Statu s

ON or OFF, see the Level III command for Com m u n ica tion Con tr ol on page 3-38.)

3.1.1 Request Status

Wh en an error m essage is received, it m ay be n ecessary to determ in e th e player’s

cu rren t statu s in order to con tin u e a program . A variety of con dition s can occu r

wh ich m ay cau se an error code to be sen t. Sin ce actu al h ardware failu re in th e

player is a relatively rare even t, oth er con dition s m ay be detected wh ich wou ld

allow a program to recover an d con tin u e operation . Even wh en th ere is n o error,

th ere are occasion s wh en player statu s or disc in form ation is u sefu l. In su ch a

case, th e Reques t Sta tus fu n ction can be u sed.

3.5 Command Formats

Level III commands on the CLD-V2800 are expressed as “Command Mnemonics”, so

they are easy to remember. “Command Mnemonics” are also u sed for Level III control

of the CLD-V2600, CLD-V2400, LD-V8000, LD-V4400, the LD-V2200, & LD-V4200

(a discontinu ed models), the LC-V330 Au tochanger, as well as for the LD-V4100 (PAL

player), CLD-V2300 (NTSC/ PAL) and the LD-V4300D (NTSC/ PAL player). Some

commands are preceded by an “argu ment” expressed as an integer. These may

indicate a specific “address” location on the disc or set fu nction parameters.

Command Mnemonic — Each Level III com m an d is expressed as two ASCII

alph abetic ch aracters, represen tin g th e com m an d m n em on ic. Th ere is n o

distin ction between u ppercase letters an d lowercase letters. Exa m p le: PL (Play);

Pl (Play); pl (Play).

Argument —An argu m en t is expressed in ASCII digits an d it is placed before th e

com m an d. Wh en a com m an d requ irin g an argu m en t h as n o argu m en t, an error

(E06) is retu rn ed. An argu m en t con sists of eith er an address or an in teger:

1) An Address — The address can be a frame, time, or chapter nu mber (LDs) or time,

block, track or index nu mber (CDs) depending how the address flag is set. When an

address larger than the maximu m allowable valu e is inpu t, correct evalu ation cannot

be made. Addresses may be expressed as nu mbers indicated below:

A Search command can accept u p to the last frame, chapter or time nu mber encoded

on a LaserDisc. Maximu m nu mber of frames on one side of a LaserVision standard

videodisc is 54,000 (CAV), Chapters, 0-79 (CAV or CLV), time nu mbers 59.59 (CLV).

(One side of CLV disc holds one-hou r of fu ll motion video, time nu mbers can be

encoded that describe running time of a program taking u p several sides of several discs

u p to 9:59.59.) If a frame, chapter or time nu mber larger than the last one encoded on

a LaserDisc is entered, the player will search to the highest nu mber encoded on the disc

and then enter Still (CAV) or Pause Mode (CLV). If a block, index or time nu mber larger

than the last one encoded on a CD is entered, the player will not execu te the search.

3) (Address) or (Integer) — Wh en an argu m en t, an address or an in teger, is

in dicated in paren th eses, it is option al an d can be om itted.

Command String — A command string consists of mu ltiple commands. The

are n ot in clu ded in th e n u m ber of ch aracters wh ich can be tran sm itted in

th e com m an d strin g.

• When an error occu rs, su bsequ ent commands in a string will not be execu ted.

• If a new command string is inpu t before execu tion of a cu rrent string has been

completed, the remaining commands are cleared and execu tion is cancelled.

Thu s, in order to cancel a cu rrently execu ting string, simply send the <C/ R>

withou t a preceding command. This does not cancel PA, SE, or RJ .

• When the player is pu t into Spin-Up, Spin-Down or Sea rch Mode, by external

commands SA, RJ , or SE, su bsequ ent commands issu ed will be execu ted and

an “R” will be retu rned a fter the Spin-Up, Spin-Down or Sea rch Mode cycle is

finished, du e to the player’s commu nication protocol. To check the player’s

statu s, send a command to requ est statu s, ?P, ?D, ?T, ?R etc. To set player

address flags send CH, FR, TM, BL, IX. If these comma nds a re sent while the

mode cycles a re in progress, the pla yer will process the comma nd, but won’t send

a completion sta tus.

Similarly, 2SP sets a Step 1 to play one frame every second on the Pioneer LD-V2200,

LD-V4400 and LD-V8000. Early versions of the CLD-V2400 played 1 frame every

three seconds (Step 3) if a 0SP or 1SP were sent to the player. Later produ ction u nits

of the CLD-V2400, however, all play Step 1 if a 0SP, 1SP or 2SP is sent to the player.

To achieve compatibility across the player line for a one frame per second playback

Explan ation : The specified address is written in the Mark Frame/ Time/ Block

flag, and the completion statu s “R” is retu rned immediately. When the

stop marker address is reached in Pla y or Multi-Speed, or Step Mode

with a CAV Disc, Still Mode occu rs; with a CLV disc or CD, Pa use Mode

occu rs. In both cases, when the stop marker address is reached, the

stop marker is cleared from the mark register. The stop marker is also

cleared when a step command is issu ed to step throu gh the address

marker on a CAV disc.

Here, the completion statu s “R” is retu rned when the command is

received and the stop marker is set, not when the address marker is

reached, as described in the Play command. Issu e a disc location

requ est command (?F,?C,?T,?R etc.) to determine whether not the stop

marker address has been reached. If a Clear or Reject com m an d is

sen t before th e stop m arker is reach ed, th e stop m arker in th e th e

m ark register is cleared.

Th e stop m arker is fu n ction ally sim ilar to th e au to stop operation of

since the early 80’s consist of extended time nu mbers: hou r, minu tes,

seconds, and frames. The CLD-V2800 will access the hou rs, minu tes

and seconds encoded on the disc. Older discs may only be encoded

with hou rs and minu tes. When a disc not encoded with seconds is

played, the seconds u nit is fixed to 0. (To determine CLV time

nu mber frame valu es on discs encoded with hou rs, minu tes, seconds

and frame nu mbers, send a ?F to the player. See page 3 -3 1 , Fra m e
