Karen is very generous with her time and that goes a long way to explain the excellent service that we all seem to get from DTS.
The point I had hoped to make is that reader alignment is a very time consuming business, especially if you are going to check it with a number of 'real world' prints. Its all very well going in with a reel of test film and setting up with that, what about the prints we get every week that seldom come anywhere near perfect results.
I've seen a lot of SRD setups that have been quite simply rushed, that'll do and walk away!! When the same equipment, where time is taken on the alignment the results speak for themselves.
As things become more and more 'computer' based the alignment stage of an install or service is increasingly important to prevent the 'reversions' and drop outs.
The cost of servicing equipment is spiraling upwards and the equipment required to do the work is growing in a similar way. Whats it going to be like if, when, Digital Projection becomes the norm? We are not always going to have the luxury of dual inventory of prints so when the Digital goes down.... you close the doors until a suited technician, not an engineer, arrives...
