Author Topic: Info on Automation System?? Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-25-2008 08:15 PM                     I feel your pain Joe. There is simply no excuse for anyone not to be installing CA21s in every application. There is no other system out there that can do everything needed currently and unforeseen things into the future.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-25-2008 09:27 PM                        I know!!! I bet you could rig up a CA21 to automatically flush a toilet at regular intervals. Not kidding.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-26-2008 01:46 AM                     Easy. You can come up with something harder than that.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-26-2008 03:10 AM                        Ummm.... maybe build a highway whenever Dolby Digital is enabled?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 06-26-2008 04:14 AM                     It's been done. You can do better.  |  IP: Logged Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-28-2008 02:26 PM                        Question, Joe: Are your CNA-100's programmable? Because I have CNA-150's at one location, and what I've done for Bollywood intermissions is to insert a ten-minute program of trailers, and program extra cue points to turn the lights up during it. Even without programmable automations, I'd still recommend cobbling together something to fill in the intermission, rather than having to muck about with stopping and restarting the projector (one of my projectionists is using expired Screenvision rolling-stock ads, a tactic I'm considering myself).  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 06-28-2008 05:00 PM                        I could do that, I suppose. However the auditoriums we run the Bollywood stuff is never the CNA100s. The CNA100 "Intermission" cue shuts the douser and switches to non-sync right away, but it continues motoring forever for some reason which cannot be explained. I wish those things had a start cue as well.  |  IP: Logged Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 06-28-2008 09:25 PM                        I wired one of the FM35 cues to the panic stop on my TA10s, and this is what stops the motor between shows at my drive-in.  |  IP: Logged
