DVD-1150 Tips
How Many Machines ?

The DVD-1150 uses RS-232 loop-through from machine to machine to control many recorders at once.  The RS-232 spec says 50 feet is the maximum distance.  Using a 6" cable between machines, that makes 100 machines.  (We know it's more, but that's the official max.)  Standard with the DVD-1150.

AMX DVD / Crestron DVD Control

Control is built-in!
The BCD DVD-1150 was designed to be controlled. 

Why choose a DVD-1150 ?
Feedback: 
IR is one-way. 
                 BCD's STAT and MODE commands tell you what is really happening.

Reliability:  Some DVD RS-232 interfaces "go to sleep" after a while and need rebooting.
                    RS-232  and USB Serial are the DVD-1150's  primary methods of control.

 

How do you know if...
  1. The deck is powered on?
  2. There is a disc in the machine?
  3. The disc has enough room left on it?

The DVD-1150 has a 'hard' power switch.  When it's on, it's ON.  It comes back on automatically after a power outage.

The DVD-1150 has two-way commnuncation.  The MODE command returns a numeric code telling its current statis.  The STAT command returns a 4-character status report.  If there is no disc in the machine, MODE returns 31 and STAT returns NDSC.  
The TLFT (Time LeFT) command returns HH:MM like 06:05 for 6 hrs and 5 minutes.  

 

How hard is it to program?

See our Basic Commands section.  All commands are 4 characters of English mnemonics, terminated by a Carriage Return.  'PLAY' means PLAY.

The RS-232 multiple recorder control architecture permits standard Crestron & AMX systems to control up to 100 machines... from a single serial port!

Client Comments 
Our clients are a laconic bunch.  We rarely hear from them because our products just work.  When we can pry comments from them, they sound like this:

Purchased: 11/21/2007, Quantity 7: "Things are great. Lovely recorder. We are pleased with the product to date.   We're using finalized +R for permanent discs. " Comment Date: 1-27-2009:  "We really like them... haven't had any issues.  Great product so far. No problem w/playing these discs on other machines like we had with other recorders."

"...Robust RS-232 Interface..."  (Some other machines 'go to sleep' and require physical restart.) 

(Pretty boring stuff.  It just works.)
