Author Topic: Power Conditioning for D-Cinema Ian Bailey Master Film Handler Posts: 317 From: Nambucca Heads, Australia Registered: Jun 2003 posted 02-06-2007 01:41 AM                     I'm interested in finding out what measures are being taken at D-Cinema sites to protect equipment from surges/brown outs/spikes/voltage fluctuations/lightning protection etc etc. If this is being done is it only selected circuits being protected or does the whole incoming electricity supply go through power conditioning?

Wish I at least had one for the server.  |  IP: Logged David Stambaugh Film God Posts: 4021 From: Eugene, Oregon Registered: Jan 2002 posted 02-06-2007 09:20 AM                        quote: Paul Konen None that I know of.

That makes no sense at all.  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 02-06-2007 09:21 AM                     The Christie/AccessIT package has the server and the DCA automation on a UPS.  |  IP: Logged Robert Minichino Master Film Handler Posts: 350 From: Haskell, NJ, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 02-06-2007 10:12 AM                        Even with a UPS you'll at least want a TVSS (surge suppressor) on the panel(s) supplying the D-Cinema equipment. I like the Leviton 51120-3 or the (better and more expensive) Liebert AccuVar.  |  IP: Logged
