Author Topic: Power ON Power Off Commands to NEC 1200c Chris Carroll Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Hilton Head Island Registered: May 2018 posted 08-06-2018 05:17 PM                        Hello All, I have inherited a 10 Theatre NEC 1200C projector Theatre. We run GDC, I was SHOCKED that TMS did not have a Scheduler. That said how would someone Send Power ON/OFF commands to the NEC Projector then say 5 Minutes later to the GDC Media Server. Thank for any thoughts or ideas Chris  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 08-06-2018 07:00 PM                     Wouldn't it be easier to make the power-off command part of your shows?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 08-06-2018 08:19 PM                    Just curious: Did you literally inherit ownership of this theatre or is it just a figure of speech about taking over management?  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-07-2018 07:55 AM                     Yes, TMS does have a show scheduler... it's always had it. Are your booths equipped with any sort of automation other than the GDC servers?

Automations like the Integ Jnior are capable of issuing both.  |  IP: Logged Chris Carroll Film Handler Posts: 2 From: Hilton Head Island Registered: May 2018 posted 08-07-2018 11:04 AM                        Thank you Greg! This would be the command string 02h 00h 00h 00h 02h?  |  IP: Logged Greg Routenburg Expert Film Handler Posts: 178 From: Toronto, ON, Canada Registered: May 2003 posted 08-07-2018 11:13 AM                     I think you're missing a 00h in the middle there but that's correct in principal.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-07-2018 04:24 PM                     Maybe this will help, although I guess there will be better means to accomplish it in daily work from TMS/scheduler or the GDC itself: http://www.film-tech.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=16;t=002010#000013  |  IP: Logged Bruce Cloutier Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Gibsonia, PA, USA Registered: Aug 2016 posted 09-04-2018 04:44 PM                        Greg, Thanks for mentioning the INTEG JNIOR. If any of you have "inherited" a cinema which may include one or more JNIORs you are likely unaware of what that little device can do. I'll just mention that if you have one and have a little time give us a call and find out just what you in fact have. The rest of those here can hold me to the fire but... you can tie us up on the phone and get us to do quite a bit before anyone mentions that maybe we should charge for the service.
