User manual

The dCine can slave a DCI-player as part of its programming. This is done by treating the DCI-

player as a simple VTR/playback device. This allows the dCine to control a DCI player as if it was

its own playback engine. This makes it possible to integrate the use of DCI payback into a dCine

solution transparently.

When a playlist is loaded into the dCine that contains DCI material, the dCine will control the DCI-

player, creating a show, loading it and preparing it to play. Then when the playlist is run, when DCI

playback is required, it will control the DCI-player. Automation messages will ensure all equipment

is set correctly. The switching from dCine eCinema playback engine or any other source can be

programmed into a smooth continuous show.

<IP>

<User>QubeAdmin</User>
