Author Topic: How many theaters are receiving their content via satellite now? Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2014 03:02 PM                        I've been contacted by DCDC and they want to set up a phone call on Friday to discuss the satellite system. I talked to our booker and he's all for it. He is also part owner of a company that manages several multiplexes in Washington, and they are using the DCDC system and love it. So it seems like a good thing to me.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2014 04:57 PM                     The biggest issue I have is the refusal to make the content available after 3 weeks from break which makes it a non starter for second run houses  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-14-2014 05:57 PM                        This is one of the questions I have about that....so do you have to have a KDM to move content over from the capture server to the theater's main server? I was wondering if, let's say we plan to play Star Wars VII but not till week 4, can we move that show over to the server and just hold it there until it actually plays?  |  IP: Logged Andrew Thomas Master Film Handler Posts: 273 From: Pearland, TX, USA Registered: Jun 2012 posted 06-11-2014 10:32 AM                     Anybody have contact info for DCDC? I sent an e-mail to their general inbox but haven't heard anything.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2014 12:16 PM                        You could write to Randy Blotky -- here is his email address (altered to keep spambots from picking it up) randyblotky at dcdcnetwork dot com  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 06-12-2014 01:46 AM                     Our DCDC rack has been installed, unsure when transfers with this method will start.  |  IP: Logged
