Author Topic: DTS Sub problem. Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-09-2003 04:51 AM                        Daryl Oh yes, I meant to swap the whole cable! On my installation the automation cable is a full-pin cable, I thought that DTS provides that cable in the package.

You are right about the movie or trailer disc files, posting those is a no-no. Aldo = Pull the pins out from the audio cable. Be sure to mark the cable that it is now adapted for the CP650 (or CP500 - will work on both). Antonio = Sorry, didn't mean to forget you!

I would be happy to host them. I've needed a setup disc in the field before and it would've been convenient to be able to download it and burn it on the theater's computer.  |  IP: Logged Aldo Baez Master Film Handler Posts: 266 From: USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 01-10-2003 01:54 AM                    That's a great idea on the iso images it would be handy. I did fix the problem it was those pins I found a manual when I really looked in the storage room. You would think when they installed this they would have known about that. Now another problem it seems that the sub is set quite low probably about 50% when I compare it to another theatre with a properly setup sub same movie. I don't know if I have the expertise to fix that up though but I'll try. Thanks everyone  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-10-2003 02:43 AM                     Sure, Brad, I'll dig them up sometime this weekend. I'll coordinate off-line... --jhawk  |  IP: Logged Antonio Marcheselli Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1260 From: Florence, Italy Registered: Mar 2000 posted 01-10-2003 07:08 AM                        Aldo, Please note that set the DTS levels to 300mV is useful to have the unit playing at the same level of the Dolby unit. If Dolby's level are wrong you'll not have the DTS level better in this way! I found that a DTS unit set to 300mV will sound exactly as the DOlby Unit (I'm speaking about levels!) but, say, if Dolby subwoofer's level is low, also DTS' level will be low when set to 300mV. So, if your subwoofer in Dolby Digital sounds low, I would suggest you to check its level with an RTA on DOlby before set the DTS unit at 300mV. Karen, I was kiddin before, of course!! THANKS for the opportunity to have .iso files on Internet. Bye  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

After all, I fixed email notification for ya. Now I want some ISO's.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-24-2003 01:22 AM                     Don't blame John on that one Daryl. I need to do a couple of things on my end first before John can do his stuff. It will be soon.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

It's more fun. I think he's sleeping right now so I don't have to worry about getting my but kicked - I just have to edit my posts before he wakes up. Plus I just wanted to subtly drop 'hints' that email notification now works. I even corrected the email message text since John pointed out that it wasn't correct. Now if only there was a spell check feature we'd be all set.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-25-2003 02:03 AM                     *kick* Actually, I have an even better item for a sneak preview, actually. Maybe Brad can push it to the top of the queue if I get it in tonight; hrmm, nope. Need to spend some more time fighting with acrobat distiller. But it's that seminal 1965 SMPTE journal paper by Paul Preo and Eric Yavitz, Effect of Winding on the Projeciton Performance of 35mm Motion-Picture Film (only applies to acetate). EDIT: (1)the email notification feature seems to not work right if I do it on an edit...(2) removed url; not ready for prime-time. Continue discussion on Yak? --jhawk [ 01-25-2003, 01:39 PM: Message edited by: John Hawkinson ]  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-25-2003 02:35 AM                     John, your "low rez" scan looks a lot better here, even though it isn't as contrasty. I have moved it to the FT server. As always, please send these in for posting rather than linking.  |  IP: Logged John Hawkinson Film God Posts: 2273 From: Cambridge, MA, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 01-25-2003 11:06 AM                     Umm, no, it's not ready yet, Brad. Please don't put it up. It doesn't meet my standards. The lowrez version has grey balance problems (among others). Be patient and wait. I was going to edit the URL out after Darryl editted his post, though. --jhawk  |  IP: Logged
