Sd-50/0, Sd-50/8, Sd-50/40

Audio & Show Control Systems

The Sd-50/0 is a complete, stand alone .Mp3/.wav player system. Just add a power supply and your

speakers, and it will play audio from the Sd flash card.

The Sd-50/8 & Sd-50/40 add up to forty digital Show Control outputs, DMX-512, MIDI or Net Serial

RS-422 serial port input, DMX-512 output and 365 day scheduling to an Sd-50/0 player. The Sd-50/8 &

Sd-50/40 are complete audio and Show Control solutions.

The Sd-50/GPS8 & Sd-50/GPS40 adds a GPS receiver for 1/1000 second accuracy when triggering

by time. This gives you ‘Atomic’ clock accuracy for carillons, schools, churches, bell towers & industrial

annunciator systems.

A note about this manual:

This manual covers the speciﬁcs of the Sd-50/

40, Sd-50/8 and Sd-40/0.

The Sd-50/8s and Sd-50/40s can be pro-

grammed using our free Pc•MACs software.

To program the Br-miniBrick8 using our free

Pc•MACs software you will also want to refer to the

'QuickStart' sections of this manual which cover

programming using the PC•MACs software. These

are excerpted from the main Pc•MACs manual,

and edited with the content speciﬁc to the Sd-50/

8s and Sd-50/40s.

The Sd-50/8s and Sd-50/40s are typically pro-

grammed in ʻSoftware-onlyʼor ʻHardwareless Real-

timeʼmode using a standard USB-to-RS232 con-

verter and Mp3-50/cbl for connecting the Sd-50/8

or Sd-50/40 to your computer. You can program up

to the ﬁrst 16 DMX-512 channels using a Rs-232

connection. This allows you to program the Br-

miniBrick8 itself (which uses one DMX-512 ad-

dress), the two optional servo outputs which uses

zero, one or two DMX-512 addresses, and twelve

to ﬁfteen additional DMX-512 addresses for de-

vices attached to the DMX-512 network.

If you are using the MACs-License and USB-

to-DMX or ArtNet for programming your Sd-50/8

or Sd-50/40 through their DMX-512 input/output

terminals, please refer to the PC•MACs ʻLicensedʼ

mode.

As a DMX-512 'master', the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/

40 can output up to 512 DMX-512 channels.

As a DMX-512 'slave', the Br-miniBrick8 can be

addressed anywhere from DMX-512 address one

through DMX-512 address 512.

Sd-50/0, Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 Overview

The Sd-50/xx family consists of three members:

The Sd-50/0 is a complete .Mp3/.wav player system. It uses a standard Sd flash card to hold audio

files stored in .mp3 or .wav formats. It includes an amazingly efficient 100 Watt Class-D stereo amplifier

which has the output power of many 500 Watt linear amplifiers. With no moving parts to wear out, the Sd-

50/0 should well outlast the speakers it is attached to. The Sd-50/0 can be used singly, or in combination

with additional Sd-50/xx’s, BR-SmartMedia cards or any Gilderfluke & Co. equipment. It can provide the

audio for animated shows and displays, fountains, fireworks, safety announcements, advertising, alarm

systems, window displays special effects, signs, clocks and carillons, or anything else that needs a sound

to be played back.

Audio is loaded onto the Sd-50/0s by first converting it to an .mp3 or .wav format files. There are a

number of commercial, freeware and shareware programs for doing this. All audio editing programs now

include .mp3 encoders1. You can even use Apple’s iTunes!

SoundFiles are moved to the Sd-50’s by temporarily moving the Sd flash card to an appropriate slot or

reader attached to your computer. The Sd flash card will appear as a ‘removable disk drive’ on your

computer. You can then ‘drag and drop’ your audio and show files onto to the Sd flash card. This works

identically when using either a Macintosh or Windows-based computer.

The Sd-50/8 and Sd-50/40 add Show Control features to the Sd-50/0s. The Sd-50/8s or Sd-50/40s

can be used singly, or in combination with additional Sd-50/xx’s, BR-SmartMedia cards or any Gilder-

fluke & Co. equipment. It can be used to control animated shows and displays, fountains, fireworks, light-

ing, sound systems, simulators, slide and movie projectors, fiber optics, window displays, motors, pneu-

matic and hydraulic systems, neon special effects, signs, machines and machine tools in process control,

or anything else that can be controlled by an electrical signal.

The Show Control side of the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 is programmed using our PC•MACs Show Control

software. While programming, data can be sent to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 through its DMX-512 input,

‘Net Serial’ RS-422 port, or RS-232 serial port. Once programed, data is sent to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40

through the PC’s serial port or loaded onto the Sd flash card for permanent storage. The Sd-50/8 or Sd-

50/40 can then be disconnected from the PC and it will run all by itself.

When used with a ‘Hardwareless RealTime’ licensed copy of PC•MACs software, Sd-50/8s or Sd-50/

40s can have their outputs programmed and updated in real time with just a PC and a serial connection.

When used with the PC•MACs hardware (MACs-License and USB-DMX512 Adapter), up to sixty-four Sd-

50/8s or Sd-50/40s can be updated in RealTime through each DMX-512 port.

Features of the Sd-50/0 include:

•Stand alone stereo playback of standard .mp3 and .wav audio files. The Sd-50s support all

standard .mp3 encoding rates, including ‘variable’. Sixteen bit .wav files with sample rates up
