Author Topic: showvault pause Bob Ezra Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Carbondale, CO, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 03-01-2019 12:00 AM                     is it ok to pause for 15 minutes? thanks  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 03-01-2019 01:55 AM                     I would think yes. The only remote risk might be burning in an image of you have a Sony LcOS. DLP's aren't bothered by freeze images. The server won't care, it's not like a VCR where you'd be grinding the tape (or in the servers' case, hard drives) against a spinning head.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-01-2019 05:57 AM                     While Sony lightengines may not be as 'durable' as DLPs, we often project static backdrops for hours on ours and never saw any remains of them on the following program ;-) Bob - neither server nor projector cares. You could keep them in pause for years or for as long as you like. Another thing to test, keep encrypted content in play-pause beyond the 6hr KDM expiration grace period... - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 03-01-2019 05:06 PM                     Another question you should ask: Is your audience OK with a 15 minute pause? If it's for an intermission, you should check the intermission functions of your setup.  |  IP: Logged
