Here are some images of Dolby Edgecode from Grand Lake Oakland.

Sheets that the peel and stick came on.

That was such a good idea. Ashamed it didn't catch on.

On screens 1 & 3 it is our automation for film. Screen 2 the one in the pic was never fully installed and all it did was sound and a secondary set of lights. As the LEDs in the readers aged and reading of the barcode became unreliable we set them to be tripped by foil cues. We use NA10s for digital automation and on screen 1 we have more functions than relays in the NA10 so the NA10 triggers a lights up in the cat 278 and a shutdown sequence as well.
