SRX Controller
The SRX Controller application exercises direct control over the projector via the projector’s serial control port. Operations using the SRX Controller can be in conflict with operations using the Projectionist Terminal or the SMS Controller. The SRX Controller application should not be used at the same time the Projectionist Terminal or SMS Controller is in operation. Once changes using the SRX Controller are completed, refresh the SMS Server stored Projector data.
SONY CORPORATION PROVIDES NO WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO THIS MANUAL, THE SOFTWARE OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH REGARD TO THIS MANUAL, THE SOFTWARE OR SUCH OTHER INFORMATION. IN NO EVENT SHALL SONY CORPORATION BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER BASED ON TORT, CONTRACT, OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS MANUAL, THE SOFTWARE OR OTHER INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN OR THE USE THEREOF.
Sony Corporation reserves the right to make any modification to this manual or the information contained herein at any time without notice.
The software described herein may also be governed by the terms of a separate user license agreement.
Network Data Storage
When the Network Data Storage system for the facility uses Microsoft Windows as the operating system it is recommended that you use Network Files System (NFS) for optimum performance in accessing files across the network. Alternatively, SAMBA may be used for connectivity between the SMS Server and the network storage computer. SAMBA is a suite of applications that provides seamless file sharing services to SMB/CIFS clients, i.e., to Microsoft Windows.
If connectivity to the Network Data Storage is lost the following steps should be taken.
• Verify the Network Data Storage system is working.
If connectivity issues still cannot be resolved it may be necessary to remove and re-create the Network Storage locations using the SMS Controller application. See Settings/Folders on the SMS Controller for more information.
If you are still unable to establish connectivity with the Network Data Storage system, execute a system Power OFF/ON. This will require Initializing Security.

Emergency Alert

Playlist Elements

The SMS features the ability to recognize an external Emergency Alert signal and take one or more of the actions enabled on the EMERGENCY OPERATIONS screen in
Chapter 1 User Guide
the SMS Controller application. Actions available in response to an Emergency Alert signal are:
• Stop Current Show
• Disable Playback
• Lamp Douse
•Lamp OFF
• Audio Muting
• System Shutdown
Refer to the SMS Controller User’s Guide for additional information relating to the Emergency Alert handling capabilities of the system.
Note
The availability of the Emergency Alert feature is set during system installation and configuration.
When the System Shutdown option has not been enabled, the receipt of an Emergency Alert causes the alert message illustrated to the right to appear. Once the Emergency Alert has been cleared, tap OK and the message closes. If the Emergency Alert has not been cleared the message will close but will reappear some seconds later.
The hierarchy of a Show Playlist is intended to allow inclusion of either Content (CPL), other Sub-Playlist(s) or Commands. The structure of a typical Show Playlist is shown in the illustration below.
Composition Playlist (CPL)
Composition Playlists (CPL) are shown on the right in the above illustration and are the reference files required to play the content. CPLs exist on the lowest level of the Show Playlist (SPL) hierarchy, and consist of the component files (e.g., video, audio, subtitles) required for content playback.
Show Playlist (SPL)
As shown above, Show Playlists (SPL) are show lists that consist of one or more CPLs with specified commands. Multiple SPLs (containing CPLs and commands) can be added as Sub-Playlists to a single additional layer of the hierarchy.
8
Commands
Commands are Playlist Elements which are either Automation Controls, i.e. external device triggers, (dim house lights, open curtain, etc.) or Auditorium Unit control events such as, Media Block Audio Control functions (Muting) or Projector Control functions (Douser). Commands or Functions may be designated as 3D type and when these are included in a Playlist the SPL is identified as a 3D Playlist even though no 3D Content is included.

Play While Ingest (PWI)

Sony Trusted Circle

Play While Ingest (PWI) is an ingest method that allows playback of a single CPL while it is ingesting. Unlike Local Ingest and Network Ingest, PWI allows you to start a presentation before the CPL ingest completes. The following are precautions for Play While Ingest.
Available for CPLs only
Play While Ingest can only be performed on CPLs. If a DCP contains multiple CPLs, the DCP will not be recognized as a complete DCP until all the CPLs are ingested. If a DCP is not recognized as complete, it cannot be ingested to other LMT using S2S. (Playback is possible even if a DCP is not recognized as a complete DCP.) If a DCP contains subtitles or other overlays, or if a CPL requires validation, Play While Ingest cannot be performed. You can also set intermissions for a CPL for which PWI is performed or include the CPL in an SPL.
CPLs that are 30 minutes or longer in duration are recommended
If you perform Play While Ingest on a CPL with a short duration, playback may not start before ingesting is complete due to an insufficient amount of buffering.
Sufficient network bandwidth (approx. 50 Mbps) required
If sufficient ingest speeds cannot be obtained due to the status of the library server or network and the buffer length (playable duration) drops to below 7 minutes, an alert will appear in the log. If the buffer length drops below 30 seconds, playback will stop. If playback stops, it cannot be started again until the buffer length reaches 10 minutes (under default settings) or more. The buffer length is an approximate guide, and the actual playable duration may differ slightly.
Sony Trusted Circle is a system that allows a DCP that has been validated in one SMS to retain its validated status after it is ingested to an SMS of any screen within the cinema complex. This eliminates the additional time required for validation in cinema complexes with multiple screens.

Lens focus can also be stored in a FUNCTN.By adjusting the focus to the best position and then saving the FUNCTION, you can easily re-establish proper focus later by recalling the FUNCTION.
Electric V shift applies a vertical position offset to the image. This setting is stored in the FUNCTION and, when the Screen Management System associates the FUNCTION with a CPL, a vertical offset is recalled and applied to the image when the CPL is included in a presentation. This vertical offset of the image is used to adjust for any slight displacement in the vertical center of the image when different aspect ratios are included in a single presentation.
The ADJUST PROJECTOR group comprises the lens mechanical adjustments (Zoom and Focus) and the image Electric V shift adjustment.
Zoom (Image Size)

To use projection lenses that allow you to zoom to properly size the image to the auditorium screen. The Zoom setting is associated with the Current Function and recalled when that FUNCTION is selected on either the PROJECTOR CONTROL screen or the associated CPL is included in a presentation. Zoom is a mechanical adjustment of the projector lens and should not be confused with any kind of image manipulation creating a zoom effect.
To adjust Zoom (the image size), tap Menu, tap Projector, tap Function Setup, and then either tap, or press and hold, the Minus or Plus button associated with Zoom while observing the projected image on the screen. This adjustment is normally done using the CinemaScope/Vista Projector Test Patterns (see “Test Pattern (Select)” on page 47). However, it may be necessary to observe the actual content (CPL) while setting Zoom to insure that the screen is properly filled while still not spilling the image onto the screen mask or surround. In this case, it is recommended you create a new FUNCTION which is specific to the CPL using the SRX Controller application.

The SRX Controller is a stand alone software application that allows a computer to directly control the SRX-R320. This control is via the serial connector located on the rear panel of the projector just below the circuit breakers. When adjustments are made using the SRX Controller the changes and settings are not automatically transferred to the SMS Server and therefore, do not appear on the Projectionist Terminal. A REFRESH button is available on the PROJECTOR MAINTENANCE pane which causes the SMS Server to query the Projector and make the refreshed data available to the Projectionist Terminal.
Executing the Calibrate Luminance function should be done with care as this can affect the Lamp Power range and cause the brightness of the image to change. Selecting a Test Pattern will interrupt the presentation image.

LAMP INFORMATION
Adjust (Luminance Calibration)
The SRX-R320 Projector includes a Lamp Control Mode feature which, when enabled
1
using the SRX Control application, maintains a nearly constant screen luminance as the lamp ages and the bulb brightness vs. lamp power applied is reduced. During the lamp replacement procedure, lamp positioning is optimized. In addition, a lamp brightness (luminance) vs. Lamp Power table is created.
The Luminance Adjustment process uses an internal photo sensor which measures the lamp’s brightness while adjusting the Lamp Power across the Lamp Power range (50~100) as indicated in the lamp’s Serial Code. A brightness vs. lamp power table is created. This table is used as a reference (for adjusting lamp power) to maintain the lamp brightness value stored in the FUNCTION.
Lamp Serial No.
Drive Elec Power (max)
The Serial Number of the currently installed Lamp and the Drive Elec. Power (max) is shown in LAMP INFORMATION. A new Lamp Serial Code is entered during the Lamp replacement process using the SRX Controller application or the Installer screen (Role restricted). When the Serial Code of the new lamp has been entered, the accumulated lamp usage time is automatically reset to “0”, and the count will restart from the replacement point. The replacement date is also set (see “Lamp Status” on page 54).
Luminance Adjustment
Projector maintenance may require the re-calibration of Luminance.
LUMINANCE ADJUSTEMENT
Note
The Luminance Adjustment process takes some time to complete and should not be undertaken without an understanding of the process. Normally it is done when the lamp is replaced and periodically to insure correct tracking of lamp brightness, i.e., screen luminance, vs. lamp power. Essentially, the process steps the Lamp Power from the minimum bulb rated setting to the maximum bulb rated setting and measures the photocell detected brightness. The results are saved in a table located in the Projector.
To initiate the Luminance Adjustment process, tap Menu, tap Maintenance, tap Projector, and then tap Adjust in the Luminance Adjustment group. A confirmation message appears. Tap YES to continue or tap NO to abandon the process.
Luminance calibration has only a relative impact on the actual screen luminance based on the value stored in a FUNCTION. This stored value is returned by the photocell sampling the bulb brightness to realize the desired value, e.g., 14ft-L, and stored in a specific labelled FUNCTION such as “CinemaScope® 14ft-L”. The Luminance Adjustment process is done to insure that a brightness vs. Lamp Power relationship is known to the Projector subsystem.
62
Adjust
1.This function is only available when the Lamp Control Mode of the projector is set to “Luminance”. Because the default Lamp Control Mode setting is “Lamp Power”, take care when attempting to use the function. The SRC Controller application can be used to set the projector to the Luminance mode.

Clock Settings (Role Restricted)

Each Auditorium Unit contains a secure System Clock which is integral to the Media Block. This clock is used to determine whether a Content associated KDM is valid for the date and time of Content presentation. The clock can be referenced to an established Network Time Server or it can be operated in a standalone configuration. In a standalone configuration, regular adjustment will be needed. Because the time value of the secure System Clock is directly related to the ability to realize Content presentation, access to the Clock Settings menu and functions associated with setting the clock reference or adjusting its value are restricted to trusted users.
Setting the Time Source (Reference) for the SMS Server is realized from the Clock Settings screen. When you are a “trusted” user an additional menu selection appears when you access the Maintenance menu.

System Startup

During hours where the theater is not operating, the Auditorium Unit is usually Shutdown and AC-mains is switched OFF at a circuit breaker panel.
Chapter 1 User Guide
To return the Auditorium Unit to an operational state, restore AC-mains power to the system.
Shutdown for the SRX-R320 based projection system takes into account continuing cooling for the Lamp after it has been set to OFF and to insure that the subsystems responsible for content storage and system control are properly cycled to a power off state. This process is managed by the SMS Server and is triggered by the removal of single-phase AC-mains power from the Auditorium Unit.
During the startup process various messages will appear on the Projectionist Terminal. Once Startup has completed the Login screen appears (shown below).
Login to the Projectionist Terminal and review the various status screens. The Projector remains in STANDBY mode and the Lamp is not illuminated even if the LAMP circuit breaker is set to ON.
Note
You must Login to either the Projectionist Terminal or the SMS Controller as a User with access to the Initialize Security process to Initialize the Cavity Security System. Once the CSS has been initialized KDM(s) which have been previously ingested as appropriate to the DCP content present on the RAID will be available and presentation can be realized.
Caution
In the SRX-R320 based Auditorium Unit, (AC-mains) Power to the projector subsystem coming from the distribution panel is routed through circuit breakers located on the rear panel of the Auditorium Unit. Appropriate precautions should be taken when working in and around the system as other power in the Auditorium Unit is not controlled by these rear panel circuit breakers. Power to critical devices contained in the Auditorium Unit enclosure is supported by an internal UPS and power may still be present for a period of time even when AC-mains have been removed or turned off at the distribution panel.
Initiate System Shutdown
To shutdown the Auditorium Unit execute the following steps:
1
Set Projector to OFF Mode
Click Menu, click Projector, click Projector Control and then in the POWER group click STANDBY.
2
Verify Lamp Cooldown
Because of the high temperatures of the projection lamp it is important to observe an adequate Lamp cooldown period before continuing.
STATUS Messages

System Shutdown

The Auditorium Unit power is comprised a Lamp, a single-phase feed which supplies the operating voltage to the Projector power via an internal UPS to other subsystems in the Auditorium Unit. The circuit breakers are located on the rear of the SRX-R320 system which supply power to only the Projector portion of the Auditorium Unit.
