Author Topic: Digital cinema server：Play the specified film by TCP/IP or Serial commands&#65 Michael Qu Film Handler Posts: 43 From: shanghai shanghai china Registered: Jan 2012 posted 09-10-2015 09:09 PM                     Does any digital server has this function,Dolby/Gdc/etc? For example,in the server,there are 3 DCP packages,A B and C Can I use TCP/IP or Serial commands to specify which film I want to play?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 09-11-2015 05:34 AM                     With or without using playlists? Are you after ANY kind of remote option (e.g. also GPIO), or does it absolutely have to be TCP or RS232? I don't know any server capable of sending a string 'choose CPL xyz and play'. It would only work through a playlist containing that CPL, which has to be prepared beforehand. These servers are not Jukebox players. I think Doremi/Dolby has a production variant of their players, DC-Post, which may be able to support a jukebox mode. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 09-12-2015 08:29 AM                     Since a TMS can call and execute playlists freely, the Doremi server API definitely has the ability to do it. Dolby/Doremi will provide the API to clients who have a valid reason to want it and will sign an NDA. It is not a public document. You could also use wireshark or similar and figure out much of the command structure if you have a TMS... Making an application that will do it is your main problem, of course.  |  IP: Logged
