So, I just started at a two-screen with Christie 3Q automation units. As we'll be exclusively showing Indian films, the install tech wired the units for intermission (there's no control on the front panel for that). The problem is, the manual doesn't mention the first thing about intermissions, and so I'm at a loss at to cue placement (it's a three-position reader). I could run this down myself, but as we're running twelve prints in eight days starting Sunday, my dance card is a little full. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you got a SLC console, the "option" switch position gives you that intermission.

Position 2 on the switch and cue over the soundtrack should do the trick since this drops the douser and brings up lights. (been a while since I've done one, so picking out my memory banks on this one and if I didn't get it right, please forgive me..)
