Hi All,

One questions.
We have a pre-show projector.

1.Main projector Kinoton dpc30
2.Pre-show projector Panasonic DW5100

But Dolby server connected to main projector.

How to I connect to dolby server of pre-show projector ?

In short, you cannot.

The kinoton will play DCP material and it can also play alternative (preshow) material, if you have it on some kind of consumer type of equipment (bluray, dvd, computer, media player).

The DW5100 cannot connect to the dolby server as it is not a digital cinema projector (no marriage with the server). It is for preshow content only. It also doenst have the required resolution (i believe its a 720p projector or thereabouts), and it doesn't have SDI inputs.
