Author Topic: CP500 randomly changing formats Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 05-07-2019 02:25 PM                     MIT automation, GDC server. Server not showing any cues executed, so probably a wiring issue between the IMC and CP500. Does the CP500 ever do this on it's own or is it being triggered? Thanks for any advice.  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 05-07-2019 03:36 PM                     Many years ago I had a similar issue and it turned out being the long automation cables running close to a 220V line used to remotely adjust the focus on the projector.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-08-2019 08:35 AM                     Possible bad power supply too!  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 05-09-2019 10:21 PM                     Thanks for the input. Simple answer: the staff tugged on the automation cable and pulled it partway out of the CP500. D'OH!  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 05-10-2019 09:17 AM                     Sounds like you have a Staff infection there!  |  IP: Logged
