Cinema.JNIOR Application Manual
3 Installation Considerations and Tools
The user must load the Cinema.JNIOR application and configure it for their digital
cinema installation. These items can be done using the JNIOR Support Tool and the
JNIOR Web page. The JNIOR Support Tool is briefly described in this manual. Please
refer to the JNIOR Support Tool Manual for detailed instructions on its use.
At a high level, there are 2 connections made to Cinema.JNIOR:
- Client (typically a Preshow system)
- Cinema Server Client (typically a digital cinema server)
Each one of the above can connect two ways:
- Preshow Client – serial
- Preshow Client – Ethernet
- Cinema Server Client – serial
- Cinema Server Client – Ethernet
3.1 I/O Control via Ethernet – Macro Functionality Not Required
If you are using the JNIOR with a cinema server that will communicate with the JNIOR
via the Ethernet port and you will not be running any macros on the JNIOR or do not
need the JNIOR to control any external devices, then Cinema.JNIOR does not need to be
running and you do not need to do any further configuration. Please use the standard
JNIOR interface method provided by the cinema server.
3.2 I/O Control via Serial – Macro Functionality Not Required
If you are using the JNIOR with a cinema server that will communicate with the JNIOR
via the AUX Serial port
and you will not be running any macros on the JNIOR or do not
need the JNIOR to control any external devices, then you can use the JNIOR Serial
Control software (pre-installed on each JNIOR) or you can use the Cinema.JNIOR
program. The Cinema.JNIOR program can receive and send the same commands as used
with the Serial Control program.
Please see Appendix B for a list of the serial (ASCII) commands and responses used with
the Serial Control software that are also available for use with the Cinema.JNIOR
application. Using the serial control commands feature is disabled by default and must
be enabled by changing Registry settings described in the Configurations Parameters
section of this manual.
