Author Topic: Dolby Doremi TMS 4 Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2016 11:41 AM                     Is anyone here using the Dolby/Doremi TMS4? Any opinions, from those that are using it, about it?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-10-2016 11:59 AM                     We installed it in a bunch of VPF sites formerly on v3. It seems to work the same as v3, no changes to the workflow. The only difference I see is needing the license dongle, but those haven't caused any problems.  |  IP: Logged Hoang Vo Film Handler Posts: 1 From: HCM Viet Nam Registered: Aug 2014 posted 12-11-2016 03:00 AM                     HI all, how do sys automation cues Ims1000 doremi with TMS4 ? i have problem cue Vol IMS1000 cant's see in TMS4.

When you create a playlist in the TMS you pick from the macro names (cues) in the TMS file, and it sends those names to the servers - so the names on the lists need to match. I'm not sure how to seal with mixed brands of servers with different macros. On both IMS and TMS this file is in the /doremi/etc folder.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

It looks like it was based on the WebGUI of the IMS series. If you didn't have Doremi servers (and it worked with any server), would you use it?  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-12-2016 05:32 AM                     Hmmm. Intuitive? We have clients with Arts Alliance and Cinedigm systems as well as Doremi, I would not call any of these systems really intuitive. They all work. And all have their quirks. I don't operate them myself, I just put them in and then fix them if they die. I am somewhat familiar with the interfaces but the staff that use them regularly are much better on them than I. For a mixed server location I think the AA or Cinedigm system will likely be better than Dolby/Doremi but I haven't actually installed a Doremi TMS with non-Doremi servers... so it may have similar abilities. Just now, I'm trying to get a Christie NOC AA LMS to talk to an ICMP, not much luck getting an answer from Christie.  |  IP: Logged
