Author Topic: Strong DMC cards Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-18-2003 03:41 AM                     Has anyone ever used a payout card for the takeup in an emergency?? The only difference that I can see in the two is that the LED is turned a different way. Could you drill screw holes and turn the led to the correct position? Just curious.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-18-2003 05:47 AM                     Yes, although I don't remember having to physically alter it. You should plug in into your laptop/pc and run the wee program so that it knows it's now a payout.  |  IP: Logged Ken Layton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1452 From: Olympia, Wash.

It's easier on the SCDC model that replaced the DMC. You can only do certain things on a DMC card depending on which version you have. There's a red circle sticker on the black plastic cover of the DMC control with a number on it. That number (such as "05") is the version number. Only version 6 and version 7 allow changing of the unit type.  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 08-18-2003 01:18 PM                     Ah, you're probably right there. It's the SCDC model I've worked on.  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 08-18-2003 01:33 PM                     You guys must think I work for Cinemark, I can't afford a laptop. I just send the DMC cards back and get an SCDC to replace it.  |  IP: Logged
