Just wondering which states require a video camera at all tims monitoring the screen or equipment.Here in Connecticut, if there is more than one booth, you need video monitoring, ie: if there are two booths, you need a camera and monitor in each to see the other. At first (from 1975 to about 1988) the camera had to be pointed at the screen. After that they changed the law to say the camera must point at the projector/platter. Does any other state require this?

I should clarify my first post a little:Currently, (in CT) you only need one camera and monitor per booth- not screen. So, if you had a 10-plex with 5 projectors in two booths, you only need two cameras/monitors. I don't know of any disaster that started video monitoring. The state is pretty small, so I think I would have heard. Probably just an over-zealous state offical. Originally, it was one camera per screen, but that probably cost too much, so some offical had to be bribed to change the law. In CT, the state police have jursdiction over theaters. Missionary position only? How dull....!
