As I've been telling quite often, over the last year, -I've been collecting the necessary parts for reinstalling 70mm in my little cinema.
One item was not to find in cinema tech workshops anywhere, so I had to buy it from a not-cinema related seller on Ebay.com - the DTS CSS processor for adding subtitles from DTS discs to the screen. An absolute must in Denmark, where You can't sell tickets for a film without subtitles.
The only promise in the Ebay add was: "From a closed cinema - working the last evening..." Not the best, but as it was the only CSS in the market at the time, I took the chance, and jumped...
The jump was ok - the item found Denmark in few weeks - but the landing seems less succesfull, as we yesterday had the thing in the rack and started up for the first time, -getting to the display message: "INITIALISING" - and no further...
Any ideas on how to get on - the whole work of these many months may depend on this getting alive, as those few 70mm prints available in Dk, are all DTS. This re-install has been expensive in a way, that it must be doing a bit more than just private fun with old films... -Selling tickets now and then, would be nice...
Any advice would be highly appreciated !
Greetings
