Author Topic: DCI Compliance Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2011 06:37 AM                     Not true...one can do a 5.1 sound system in a drive-in now. It just requires three frequencies to put out the 6-channels on three transmitters...tell your cliental what channels are on which frequencies and for the customer to bring two "Boom Boxes" to handle surrounds, Center/Subwoofer. Note, we have suggested for decades now that Drive-In operators add a second transmitter to play surrounds...tell the clients to put a boom-box on the rear deck of their car...its a relatively cheap solution. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 12-09-2011 07:06 AM                     Thanks Harold. The USL looks like a good fit for what I need if the price is right.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 12-09-2011 08:38 PM                        Lovely! They don't actually have to do it; you just have to have provided a system. I LIKE it!

Any thoughts?  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 02-04-2012 09:57 AM                       ECI 60 works fine as a DA, as does the Dolby DMA8. Both are multi input DAC's. They are very close in price. If you are looking for just one in, one out converters the DAX series from USL work very well. FYI, Odyssey Products make a mix down board to take 5.1 audio from the server and send out a left and right channel to a transmitter.  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 02-05-2012 10:00 AM                     Thank you Sam.  |  IP: Logged
