If using a Point Of Sale (POS) or Ticketing system to sell your tickets, all session information will

need to be entered into that system. Point of sale or ticketing systems typically make session data

(such as a Session Time Display or the Projection automation system data) available to other

systems (the dCine). The dCine takes advantage of this type of data in order to assist its automatic

scheduling features e.g. such data can assist the dCine to start shows automatically. The dCine

undertakes the automation function by connecting to the data source and creating Session Start

events and Playlists that the data it has retrieved about scheduled sessions.

In order for the automation function to work, operators first need to ensure that all relevant media

has been ingested into the designated media player and that the session playlist has been

programmed.

The options for the automation scheduling feature are:

<Type> : This option is used to configure the type of system being interfaced with, and

hence the format of the data to be retrieved.
