Author Topic: Cinema Latino Automation Question Matt Hollis Film Handler Posts: 49 From: Paragould / Jonesboro, AR, USA Registered: Jan 2005 posted 03-28-2007 03:38 PM                        In the second photo of the newly added Cinema Latino gallery, what model automation box is that mounted on the wall? I know it's a Xetron but not sure about the model number. I've seen them quite often on this site, and it seems to be the standard in the GCC package. Any other comments on the automation are welcome (good or bad).  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

The whole place looks like a former GCC house (Cinemecannica V5s and lamphouses, AW3s, etc.). They work fine, but are pretty basic.  |  IP: Logged John Walsh Film God Posts: 2490 From: Connecticut, USA, Earth, Milky Way Registered: Oct 1999 posted 03-29-2007 07:16 AM                     Yep, a Maxi-10C. I haven't figured out the exact model definition scheme, but I think the "C" meant the addition of the timer. As Scott said, pretty basic, but there are still quite a few in use.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-29-2007 08:59 AM                        The "C" referred to Capitol Motion Picture Supply, NYC. The timer was the biggest part of the "special" but there were other smaller differences as well. Louis  |  IP: Logged
