I was asked about it yesterday. 2: Is it possible to transfer content from the RAID to a drive in the CRU? (I want to archive the trailers and snipes loaded for future posterity.) That Christie is a super efficient projector..I had to run the lamp at minimum and defocus the z axis to get the light down to an acceptable level. (Around 20fl 2D). The next hurdle is coming up with a way to remote shutdown my entire AMX system (or put it under a time clock of sorts) as the system was left on overnight by inattentive faculty. If I hadn't walked in yesterday to check on some things it would have been on all weekend too. If I do the time clock idea it is pretty simple to do (just a few lines of code) but with my luck the day after I set it up someone will schedule an event that doesn't end until after the shutdown time. Or I may make that shutdown conditional...if it sees a button press within a specified window it delays an additional period of time.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 01-21-2012 10:41 PM                     1. I always hear from them within 24 hours. Usually within an hour or two. 2. Yes.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-22-2012 12:48 PM                     Brad, thank you. So as for the first, we have a problem then as we haven't heard from them since we submitted the form on the 6th. As for the second, thanks. BTW I sent you a check for the drives.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

What the submittal form does is allows Dolby to register your media block with the studios for KDM generation as well as allow them to complete their database. As such, there is nothing to communicate to you directly. If you request the certificate (I would in your application) then you will know they have it. The purpose of getting the certificate is when you run non-Hollywood content...the foreign entity will request the certificate to generate the KDM. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-22-2012 02:17 PM                     Thanks for the info Steve. I'll have the department head submit the request.  |  IP: Logged
