Author Topic: I'm back!! Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-14-2008 02:25 AM                     Hey guys, After some time off, I'm back. I'll be in Texas this next week. I need some tech info.... I'm doing a P.M. and some upgrades. DTS 6AD's and CP650's How is the interface with them, and any tips? I have only racked and wired these units, and not set them up in the field. Projectors are Strong packages...I think I remember how they work Tomorrow I am picking up a USB to RS232 adapter. Do I need this for the processors? I'm getting it for a ScopeMeter. I don't have any software installed on my laptop, are there any versions of Dolby or DTS that anyone suggests? Thanks, Rick On a side note... Anyone ever use a Fluke ScopeMeter? I am working on getting the software. I have it on floppy, but my computer doesn't have a drive to install it.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-14-2008 02:46 AM                     quote: Richard Hamilton I have it on floppy, but my computer doesn't have a drive to install it. Welcome back to the STATES as well. Goto a computer store and find a USB external floppy drive unit to work with floppies for your laptop/desktop units. They do come in handy once in a while.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-14-2008 03:51 AM                     What theater/chain are you servicing? It sounds like either Angelika Film Center Dallas or Rave Theaters.  |  IP: Logged Richard Hamilton Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1341 From: Evansville, Indiana Registered: Jan 2000 posted 03-14-2008 08:22 AM                     Hey Brad, It's Angelika in Plano and Dallas. I need to call Ethan today and make the arrangements, but I plan on being there tomorrow or Sunday. It's about a 700 mile drive. I'm guessing I will be there all week, 14 screens. Do you know of any decent hotels around these theaters? I figured between $70-100 a night. I was planning on just finding one close when I get there.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-14-2008 08:34 AM                     So did you get put in jail over the child support thing? I'm sure you will find a good USB to Serial port adaptor in China. Just don't try one of them on a JSD-80.. they don't like Chinese adaptors! P.S. Scope meters won't work for many of the waveforms you need to view... This has been brought up in the past... Do a search on that here at F-T.

On the scope..I didn't do a search, I don't remember any threads about them. Have you used any? This is a Fluke 105B. We had it in the shop at Mega, but I never used it.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 03-14-2008 11:45 AM                     It's actually only 13 screens. You're in for a treat because those booths are magnificently designed, and by magnificently designed I mean it couldn't have been done much worse. Give me a shout when you're in town though.  |  IP: Logged
