Author Topic: Datasat / DTS XD20 License Key Hannes Ziegenhorn Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Großbreitenbach, Thüringen, Germany Registered: Jan 2017 posted 05-09-2018 08:07 AM                     Hello I got an DTS XD20 that was used as a CSS unit in a cinema. For 35mm DTS with timecode I need a license for audio playback. Where coult I get such a license key or is there some other way to enable the audio playback? I would appreciate your help, as I´d love to use an XD20 in my home-cinema! Thanks Hannes  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

They probably have the software that could generate the license key. It will probably be a winding path of trying to get to the right person though. In the USA, many of the DTS/Datasat film people are still there, believe it or not so people familiar with the XD20 exist. ATI is horrendously slow at updating their websites though. You'd never know that the current cinema processor is the AP25 though it has been shipping now for a couple of months.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-09-2018 10:25 AM                     LOL! ATI is a horrendous company overall... Good luck!  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

They were at Cinema Con with the BGW 16-channel amplifier as well as the AP25. It's all "Made in USA" so there is that.  |  IP: Logged Hannes Ziegenhorn Film Handler Posts: 10 From: Großbreitenbach, Thüringen, Germany Registered: Jan 2017 posted 05-17-2018 05:28 AM                     Yesterday I received a new license key for the XD20, works fine Thanks for the support.  |  IP: Logged
