2.14 Operation with the Quad MAP Controller
The Quad MAP Controller (QMC) will synchronize the operation of two, three,
or four MAP systems together with their associated CinePlex systems.
Startup
The startup sequence is extremely important. RASPUTIN must be
started before Studio is started so that the client registration process
works properly. Otherwise, when a recording is eventually started by
RASPUTIN neither the file name string nor the recording time 0 messages
are received.
If RASPUTIN exits or is closed for any reason, it should be brought
back up, then Studio should be closed and restarted, as well.
Procedure for Quad MAP Controller Operation
1 Each of the MAP/CinePlex combination systems should be tested and
validated to be operational in stand-alone mode before attempting to connect
them for synchronized use with the QMC. If this has not been done for each of
the systems, please do so now. Then power all components of all systems
down.
2 Select one MAP system to be the “Master” MAP system. Signals from the
master MAP system will control all of the connected CPX systems and will
provide power to the Quad MAP Controller.
3 Configure the TIM board of the master MAP system to supply power to the
Quad MAP Controller. Apply a jumper at the position marked “17” and “+5V”
on jumper block W3 as shown.
