Author Topic: Requesting a place (or places) to find resources Caleb Wooten Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Batavia, OH, United States Registered: Jul 2016 posted 04-02-2018 07:08 PM                     Hello, all! I have spent the last two years working as a digital projectionist for a locally owned theatre chain near me. I recently got hired on at a different company as a Digital Cinema Technician. I feel I have a decently solid foundation on the workings of various projectors and such (and I am currently training with another tech in the field), but do you guys and gals know of anywhere online that I can go to find manuals, troubleshooting guides, etc. for different projectors, servers, audio equipment, etc? I want to learn a lot more in depth on my own than what I already know along with my training as well. Thank you in advance!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-02-2018 07:56 PM                     The only on-line stuff is on the manufacturers web sites. You need to have previously attenbded traning at those manufacturers to have access to them. Ask your new employer if he has any manuals on CD ROM. Christie and Ba rko used to do that....

Since the film days, I always found it interesting, to say the least. And google-searching is another option. All that won't give you the more up to date info, you'll have to address your needs to the actual cinema equipment companies for that, but can be a way for one to "get out of the mist" for a number of things that one comes across. A Christie CP2000-ZX manual won't show you how to use the Christie IMB, but it will give you a lot of info in relation to the Solaria CP2220 model.  |  IP: Logged
