1 Introduction

This document describes the necessary steps to install and configure the two IMBs for a dual
projector setup. It also describes how to create a basic playlist.

In Dual IMB setup (using a single ShowVault and two IMBs for dual projector), the two IMBs are not
identical in terms of firmware and software configuration and in terms of serialization.

The primary IMB, a.k.a. the IMB SM (Security Manager) connected to the ShowVault via PCI-E, is
similar to a regular IMB in terms of serialization. It uses a specific firmware for Dual IMB setup in the

32.xx version range. It can be updated back and forth, with regular IMB firmware used as a regular
IMB.

The secondary IMB, a.k.a IMB LD (Link Decryptor), which is not connected to the ShowVault via PCI­E, has the same hardware as a regular IMB but is serialized differently in factory. This different
serialization is what allows it to behave as a secondary IMB, a Link Decryptor IMB. It uses a specific
firmware for Dual IMB setup in the 33.xx version range. It cannot be updated back to regular IMB
firmware and cannot be used as a regular/primary IMB.

In this document, the Primary IMB will be referred to as the SM (Security Manager), and the
secondary as the LD (Link Decryptor).

Note: Dolby 3D is not yet supported in Dual IMB setups.

 2 Series-2 Digital Cinema Projectors

o Doremi recommends that the same type/model of projector is used for both IMBs.

 1 KDM for dual projection (see Section 6)
 1 DLM (Doremi License Message), Configure_RemoteSPBEnable_IMB.dlm_XXXXXX.drm, for

IMB-SM serial number

o Contact Doremi Technical Support to obtain the DLM

Note: Dual 4K presentations also require the following:

 2-4K DLMs, 1 for the IMB-SM and 1 for the IMB-LD

3 Installation and Power-Up Sequence

To Audio Processor/
Automation System

Primary
Projector

Secondary
Projector

Installation:

 Verify that both projectors and the ShowVault are turned off.
 Install the IMB-SM in the primary projector.
 Install the IMB-LD in the secondary projector.
 Connect Ethernet cables to both projectors and the ShowVault and verify that they are on the

same network.

 Connect the PCI-express cable from the ShowVault to the IMB-SM (primary projector).
 Connect BNC cables (A and B) from the Primary Projector’s SDI-out connectors to the

Secondary Projector’s SDI-In connectors.

Power-Up Sequence:

 Power up the Primary Projector.
 Power up the Secondary Projector.
 Wait until both projectors are completely powered up.
 Power up the ShowVault.

DLM Ingest:

With the system fully booted up, you should now ingest DLM
Configure_RemoteSPBEnable_IMB.dlm_XXXXXX.drm if not already present on the system.
