I know the equipment forum isn't supposed to have replies, so I'll ask here. I see a Junior2 and a Junior3 for sale. Is that a kind of lamphouse or something?

It is a popular low-cost automation system used in DCinema...converts conventional I/O to Ethernet or RS232.

I recently bought an Eprad eCNA-10 automation on ebay for $15 and it had one of these mounted on the back of it. I went to the website linked to above when I got it to see what it was. This automation obviously came out of a digital installation somewhere. I am sure I will find a use for it in a future project somewhere. Pretty cool little gadget.

eCNA10 for $15? Thats a steal! I'm surprised it would be been with an eCNA-10...which is a DCinema automation all on its own.

MiT has "deluxed" the Jnior with their own packaging around it.

I picked it up about six months ago and I think most people had no idea what it was. I also remember it was in an odd category on ebay.
