Address Arguments
Some commands permit or require address arguments. These
arguments can be used to specify a position (frame or timecode)
address within a video or an address which identifies the position
or sequence order of a video within a list of videos. A list of videos
playing sequentially is a playlist.
Laserdisc refers to a video playlist as a Chapter or CH. To specify
a file address within a chapter, the sequential position is indicated
by x. CH5, for example, would indicate the fifth file in the playlist
or chapter. Designating the file position x is also accepted. See
Chapter Number Request (?C) on page 193 for command.
