Abstract
The goal of this research report is to describe clearly the development of an operational software program which utilizes a realtime interface hardware unit to synchronously control an optical disc player and optical disc recorder via an external microprocessor. The previous UCF Engineering College’s optical disc hardware configuration consisted of a Panasonic optical disc player and recorder, color monitor, video camera, and PRO-350 to control only one device (player or recorder) at a time as the microprocessor has only one serial input/output (I/O) port. The Digital Equipment Corporation’s realtime interface device provides two serial I/O ports and therefore allows the microprocessor to communicate with, and control, the optical disc player and recorder in a synchronous mode. This research project created new software to incorporate the realtime interface device. As a result, the University can now create/record optical discs from previously recorded discs, or from a video camera, using the PRO-350 microprocessor and user friendly software menus.
