Author Topic: MasterImage sync cable pinout? Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-07-2018 02:46 PM                     Does anyone know the pinout of the Masterimage DSUB37 to DSUB9 sync cable? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Mattias Mattsson Film Handler Posts: 90 From: Göteborg, Sweden Registered: May 2007 posted 12-07-2018 06:37 PM                     This is from the Installation Manual (Rev B) for MI-2100R  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-07-2018 07:23 PM                     Wow, there is more in it than I thought. I think the shutter systems only carry a two or three wire frame reference. Do I understand this right, this cable carries automation signals for wheel control start/stop, up down? Is it possible that earlier systems do no use them? A friend uses two MI2100 and misses automation for them. I understand there are a few terminals inside to control up and down. But which MI systems could use the cable signals? Is that the rev.B? Is it possible that the bare minimum is to connect vertical sync pulse/GND? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 12-07-2018 10:12 PM                     I've not seen a 2100R version, just the 2100 which is manual control only ... also worked with the Clarity that has pretty much the same control system as this 2100R (and Wave, plus an unusual 2100 type with horizontal movement). So if yours doesn't have the LCD display and menu buttons you're stuck with manual operation as far as I know.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-08-2018 06:13 AM                     The older systems have headers inside that are more or less parallel to the buttons. I know that some installers wired them to a JNIOR or directly to Dolby DSS GPOs. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-08-2018 08:16 AM                     edit: found the full 2100R manual here: https://docs.zoho.com/file/9sg8g631a17a0c53542ecac7a2b9050b01cf2 The difference to the first/old 2100 version is clearly visible. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Michal Matys Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Prague, Czech Republic Registered: Nov 2014 posted 12-10-2018 09:39 AM                    As Carsten wrote, you can always connect your 2100 to automation system, we just connected it to few relays, which we trigger via doremi GPO and "automated" it this way similar to light automation.
