Author Topic: Christie automation help needed Geena Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 198 From: Norcross, GA / USA Registered: Apr 2006 posted 06-10-2011 09:51 PM                        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.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 06-10-2011 10:33 PM                     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..)  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2011 07:16 PM                     quote: Geena Phillips As we'll be exclusively showing Indian films Yous need to hire Joe Redifer!
