Author Topic: Cinerama returns to Seattle Jack Ondracek Film God Posts: 2348 From: Port Orchard, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2002 posted 03-07-2003 05:19 PM                        quote: from Tao Yue: It's been mentioned before (though not in this thread) that the sound is transmitted through a digital link from the reproducer in Charlie booth to the sound processors in Baker. That would probably make sense, since that's how they run their regular system... I was told that the place is (still?) fully wired for analog, though I don't know if it's just their original system, or what it would take for them to switch to that wiring if they needed it. My comment about the concessions to technology were mainly about the mechanical components of the process. I wouldn't be surprised if the original sound systems were tube-types (did the Cinerama have solid state in the '60s?)  |  IP: Logged Mark Lensenmayer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1605 From: Upper Arlington, OH Registered: Sep 1999 posted 03-07-2003 06:31 PM                     quote: Jack asked: Did the Cinerama have solid state in the '60s?) The units John Harvey used in Dayton were solid state. I'm not sure of their vintage or original location.  |  IP: Logged
