Entering the Projection Booth, at Projection Station No. 3.
Our emergency lamphouse and power supply mounted on wheels. Once in a while we had to use it because a Super Lumex died. All we have to do is throw the Super Lumex on the floor, toss the ORC on the lamp table, and throw the switch. The ORC is hard wired into a breaker panel with an 8/4 SO cable that allows enough cable to reach any projection station. The WD-40 can is what I use as a “flyswatter.”
Operator’s side of Projection Station No.3.
DTS sound rack for Projection Station No. 1 with CP-55 backup in case the DTS6-AD dies. (which it has now than then)
Far end of the Projection Booth looking East. Note the 350CFM auxiliary blowers on the lamphouses.
