Author Topic: Technicolor Trail Mix information paper Philip Wittlief Film Handler Posts: 57 From: Chicago, IL Registered: May 2003 posted 04-12-2012 02:02 PM                        It seems that Technicolor has stopped listing what trailers are on the trail mix drives along with the programming suggestions. Does anyone know of a source for this information besides looking at the file list on the server. Having the trailers listed by distributor is very useful.  |  IP: Logged John Thomas Film Handler Posts: 75 From: Boston, MA Registered: Sep 2011 posted 04-12-2012 02:08 PM                     I believe they've started e-mailing the document each week instead of printing it out and shipping with the drive.  |  IP: Logged Susan Hoffmann Film Handler Posts: 6 From: Armour, SD, USA Registered: Mar 2012 posted 04-12-2012 02:45 PM                        In addition to email, they started faxing it, too. I did ask them to stop faxing since email is sufficient.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 04-12-2012 03:42 PM                     Give it a couple of weeks and DeLuxe will be doing this procedure also .... I've notice a lot of businesses are cutting back on paper usage and rather do thing via the email system..or as mentioned, using the fax delivery.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Freche Film Handler Posts: 3 From: Biloxi, Mississippi, USA Registered: Jan 2011 posted 08-18-2012 03:54 PM                     With technicolor, they are sending their content over the technicolor thingest to my site and emailing the trailer listing and the movie content information. i wish deluxe would start doing this to stop the cost of shipping drives out.  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-18-2012 10:33 PM                     Deluxe does have their own version of the TML thingest, through EchoStar, and does send trailers and features through it.  |  IP: Logged David E. Nedrow Master Film Handler Posts: 368 From: Columbus, OH, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 08-25-2012 09:38 PM                        "thingest" ? Is that short for something? IE, "thin client ingest"? Or is it just a made-up name for some piece of equipment. -David  |  IP: Logged Edward Havens Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 614 From: Los Angeles, CA Registered: Mar 2008 posted 08-26-2012 11:27 AM                     I've never been curious enough to ask them what if anything ThinGest stands for.  |  IP: Logged
