Author Topic: doremi ims 100 Death !!! Mario Neto Film Handler Posts: 2 From: porto alegre, rio grande do sul/brasil Registered: Jan 2015 posted 06-11-2015 07:00 PM                     hi I am installing a new doremi IMS 1000 server I made a atualuzação to the latest versions indicated when changed the Fimwer to 4.2.10, the ims board did not reboot and start again He died !!! someone could help me and tell what may have gone wrong? thank you  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-11-2015 07:31 PM                     I installed the NEC version of the IMS 1000 earlier this week. Was loading a KDM on to it and it died on me. NEC has a script you put in a USB and boot from to revive the server. It did fix this one and your's may have similar issue..On the one I was working with Ethernet 1 went dead and no hard drive activity although they did spin up. This product has been out for three years for crying out loud and it still doesn't work right! I hope that Dolby fixes this "thing" or discontinues it all together. They seem better at doing the latter and that's fine in this case. Mark  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The IMS1000 should be discontinued at that time. For the record, I had an NEC version come DOA a couple of weeks ago.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-12-2015 10:27 AM                     You may still need that script to eventually revive the one that you have which does work! If it's at 2.6.4.X its probably going to loose ethernet 1 port and hard drive connection rendering it useless a door stop. The IMS-2000 doesn't really appear to be any sort of improvement based on the on line Dolbly video of it except for the addition of external NAS. It's still only accessible via a web based GUI and still has the same stupid Doremi GUI... It's flat out the worst GUI ever devised yet in this industry. One would have thought that Dolby would have carried over their wonderful glossy GUI that everyone loves so much. I'll stick with GDC thank you... They always work and are locally accessible with vga monitor and keyboard AND web interface plus GDC has the most complete cue and device library in the industry.

That doesn't quite make it "everybody". I'm used to the Doremi GUI and thus I prefer working in it to any of the others: note, NOT the IMS/DCP webGUI, the "real display" DCP2000 one. Their webGUI is very clunky. I think building a playlist with Cinelister is easier than making one with a DSS.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-12-2015 06:13 PM                     Dave, Agreed! I have little issue with the real Doremi or GDC GUI's. But the web GUI is absolutely awful. I can't understand why the standard DCP-2000 GUI wasn't used. GDC managed to use it's standard GUI among all it's products. So glad I didn't sell any of these IMS.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-11-2015 06:16 AM                     We were issued an official withdrawal from sale of the IMS-1000. The IMS-2000 is the IMS server now (why would one want the IMS-1000 since the IMS-2000 seems to share the same web GUI yet has the promise of actually working?).  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 09-11-2015 06:46 AM                     Wondering when Christie pulls the plug on their's? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 09-11-2015 01:44 PM                     Mario, you should consider yourself lucky!  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-11-2015 02:20 PM                     We have quite a few 1000s running with few issues. If you have other Doremi servers in house the basic operation is the same, and for technicians the setup is familiar. We have had ones where eth0 goes away and the unit finally croaks, and one that refuses to ingest from eSATA. The HDMI color problem bit us badly at an SFX house install but Doremi did solve that. The Barco ICMP has a rather different way of doing things, so I would rather use the IMS for now until I get enough experience with the ICMP. Particularly with automation and adding device command libraries.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I've have not had good experiences with the IMS-1000, myself and really dislike its UI, right down to the color scheme.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 09-12-2015 04:57 AM                     The IMS-1000 now works-ish. Have you ever tried quickly skipping through CPL's? The CPL you then decide to play usually stops with a RED status dot and the player moved to the next one.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It's a seasonal theater so they didn't actually run for the first time until May. They just closed for the winter. The equipment ran flawlessly over the summer. Do I now have to worry about these IMS 1000's? I already had the NEC 4.2 version scare. They are on 3.00 so I avoided that. Is there anything I should do proactively about the IMS's?  |  IP: Logged
