Author Topic: Pirates Sound Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 05-27-2007 07:39 PM                     Anyone having problems with Pirates dropping out of SRD into SR, we've one screen with a problem? The adds and trailers are ok(4-5 on the CP-650) but pirates is pushing 7 or even 8 and ossasionally dropping out.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-27-2007 09:02 PM                     Not on Pirates prints I've seen but all the Spiderman prints I've seen playing had bad DTS tracks on reel 6.

I was just looking at that yesterday and was pleased to see solid 0-1s here on CP650s with Kinoton basement readers (and FilmGuard). Sounds like you need to calibrate your readers.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 05-28-2007 08:05 AM                     It is not uncommon for Kinoton basement readers to track better than penthouse readers. Also, I'm not sure Dolby uses the same algorythms for determining the number on the CP650 as they used on the DA20. Afterall...who would know...an F is an F but the rest...there could be number deflation!  |  IP: Logged Justin Gorka Expert Film Handler Posts: 174 From: High Wycombe, England Registered: Apr 2006 posted 05-28-2007 09:12 AM                     Will have a go at the readers when I get in but with the adds and trailers being ok.....?  |  IP: Logged William Phillips Expert Film Handler Posts: 117 From: Cardigan, Wales, UK Registered: Feb 2002 posted 05-28-2007 09:14 AM                        Constant 5 all way through the film with some of the ads and trailers hitting as low as 1 !! Cinemeccanica basement reader, Dolby DA20 CP65 combo print filmguarded and PTRs run all shows.  |  IP: Logged David Graham Rose Expert Film Handler Posts: 187 From: Cambridge, UK Registered: Sep 2002 posted 05-28-2007 02:05 PM                     Justin Do not touch.

Trailers ahead of the feature were at 2 and 3, except for a new Dolby BEE trailer, which has an error rate of 6. Hmmm. It's a CP500 with a Cat. 702 reader.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-28-2007 09:20 PM                     Looking at 3 different prints at another theater here running Christie projectors with BACP penthouses and FG. Steady 1s in two houses and 1-2s in the third house.  |  IP: Logged Ross Oba Expert Film Handler Posts: 181 From: Kailua Kona, HI Registered: Oct 2005 posted 05-28-2007 11:03 PM                     3s and 4s on both of my prints.  |  IP: Logged Sam King Expert Film Handler Posts: 120 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Oct 2006 posted 05-28-2007 11:26 PM                     How do you guys get 1's?!?? We rarely fail, but never do we get 1's. We are typically in the 2-5 range in all 18 screens. We use Kelmar basement digital/analog readers and CP650's.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-28-2007 11:59 PM                     It is all due to the alignment of the reader and the cleanliness of the print. Remember, dirt that is so small you don't see on screen is dirt big enough for the SRD camera to see and block part of the data.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-29-2007 12:12 AM                     And be sure to clean your gate rails and bands between shows. Build up on the gate rails and bands will wear down the SRD track.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 05-29-2007 02:15 AM                     Very true, very true, but remember if your print is clean and properly lubricated, it won't be leaving anything behind in the projector.  |  IP: Logged
