Scott,
I would only want to do this in a digital show, and mainly when dropping out to an insert in some non-DC format, get the server to control DMA, A/V switcher, Cine-Ipm etc. and then pause itself while the insert is run. We need to do this if the insert is something which is brought in just before the show, and there isn't time to make a DCP of it. Some of the projectionists struggle to change settings on several different devices in a couple of seconds.
The toggle problem should be easy to fix, the 35 mm machines would not be in use at the time, so put in a cue to select a film format, this makes no sound, and will force the mute off. Then pulse the mute toggle and the mute will be active. I have a reason for not just leaving it in film mode, due to some other equipment which is connected to the system.
Those pomtialometer boxes look like what I'm after,but they are quite expensive, and the smallest has eight ports. Maybe I can find a circuit somewhere and build my own. Budget is zero, as usual.
Due to poor health, lack of money, and no passport I haven't been over there for over five years, but I'm hoping to be coming over again in a few months, and want to do the train trip from NYC to Chicago which I was planning, but never managed to do.
