1 Schematics

Populate the pre-wired CHIPS rack using the following schematics.

1.1 CHIPS Rack Layout Description

UPS - Uninterruptable Power Supply that will power the CHIPS system in the event of

a power cut. The UPS will do a clean shutdown of the system when the battery level
goes below a determined level.

TMS SERVER - The TMS server is where the Theatre Management System (TMS)
software is installed. All ingests of DCPs go through the TMS server either through
USB, eSATA or network interfaces. The CineWatch application is also installed which
provides a system monitoring service over SNMP. It also provides an increased level
of support as Sony can monitor and access the system remotely (if VPN link is
available). Upgrades of the projector firmware/software can be done remotely using
CineWatch

CHIPS Stand-Alone Integrator Installation Training (CHIPS)

LIBRARY STORAGE - This is included in on board the TMS Server. The Library

Storage contains 8 x 2TB disks formatted to NTFS in a raid 6 configuration leaving
12TB useable space on the disk. Assuming a DCP feature size of 250GB this will
give storage for approximately 60 feature films (200GB DCP).

DCP HDD POWER AND USB DISTRIBUTION - A mains distribution panel is
provided so that a DCP HDD can be powered at the front of the rack. 4x USB ports
are available on the front of the TMS Application Server. Also KDM’s can be ingested
by USB memory stick.

CRU DATAPORT (High Speed Ingest) - The CRU Dataport provides increased
ingest speed through an eSATA interface to the Application Server. 2 x CRU DCP
HDD can be inserted, powered automatically and then ingested using the TMS Client.

KVM MONITOR/KEYBOARD DRAWER - The KVM monitor and keyboard is used for
configuration and maintenance of the system and can access both the Application
Server and the CineWatch Server. The KVM monitor is usually kept closed and not
used for daily use.

48 PORT Gb NETWORK SWITCH - The Gigabit switch is configured with a 4 x 1Gb
trunk to the Application Server for throughput and a single Gb link to each projector,
TMS Client and customer network.

TMS WORKSTATION - The TMS client PC is a standard PC which is not required to
be high performance. From this PC the TMS graphical user interface is accessed
through Windows Internet Explorer (or FireFox). The TMS Client is usually located in
the projection box and is the main point of interaction with the system. Scheduling,
Content Management, Status Monitoring and Show Management can be performed
at this terminal. A system can have multiple TMS Clients.

1.1.1 Rear connections of TMS Server

Figure 1 - Rear connections of TMS Server

Please note that the 4 network cables that form the 4Gb TMS trunk to the network
switch are all connected to the Network PCI card not the on board nics.

2 CHIPS Power Up Procedure

Before performing the power up procedure please confirm that all wiring is cabled as
per the network and control schematics

Connect power cable from the UPS to the mains power supply

The UPS cable has two connectors, a C19 16A rectangle connector that connects to
the UPS, and a European plug adapter that connects to the house power supply.
Since the rack only has two servers the standard house power supply will be
sufficient to power the equipment.

Turn on the UPS

Hold the ‘ON’ button on the UPS for 3 seconds to protect the load

Turn on the Supermicro TMS Server

Press the power switch on the front of the server.

Local Path Example: D:\Library1
The FTP settings are very important and are sent to the projector when using the FTP

protocol to send data. FTP is also used to interrogate the projectors content and show
on the TMS library.

FTP Path Example: ftp://192.168.101.5/

UN: Administrator
PW: FTP Administrator Password (same as Server Administrator password)

The Network Path of the library is the path as seen from the SMS server. This will be
as a network share as the example below.

Volume Size: Enter the volume size of the Library folder in GB, typically 11170GB.

Network Path: Leave blank (so that FTP protocol is used)

Click Apply and restart the service.

10 Sony Projector Preparation for TMS

There is some configuration of the Media Block (LMT) in order for it to correctly
interact with the TMS. These steps should be completed after the projector has been
aligned and setup using the SRXC software.

The following setups require an IP address schema. If customer does not have a pre­defined one, please use the default schema on page 14.

10.1 Screen to Screen (S2S) Network Setup

Log on to the Media Block using the Projection Touchpanel (PJT)
(UN: super, PW: 0955)
Menu > Content > S2S Network Setup
Enter the following parameters:
IP Address: <Projector S2S IP address from the IP Schema>
Subnet Mask <Assume to be 255.255.255.0 unless otherwise stated>
Default Gateway < Default Gateway IP address from the IP Schema>

10.2 Screen to Screen Source Setup

This sets up the sources from which each projector can ingest material. Therefore the
projector needs to have all the other projectors setup as sources. For example
projector 1 of 9 screens would need screen 2-8 setup as sources.

Log on to the PJT (UN: super, PW: 0955)
Menu > Content > S2S Source
Enter a Name: scr2 (do not use any spaces)
IP Address: <Projector TMS IP address from the IP Schema>
Add all other screens to the S2S sources.

10.3 NTP Setup

Log on to the PJT (UN: super, PW: 0955)
Menu > Maintenance > Clock Settings
Enter the following:
IP Address: <TMS Server IP Address>
Save Settings.

Menu > Maintenance > Network Setup
Enter the following parameters:
IP Address: <Projector TMS IP Address from the IP Schema>
Subnet Mask <Assume to be 255.255.255.0 unless otherwise stated>
Default Gateway < Default Gateway IP address from the IP Schema >
DNS Address Assignment <Leave blank unless otherwise stated>
Save Settings.
Once the settings have been saved the SMS server will fully reboot, wait for the login

screen with login button to re-appear before proceeding.
After setup has been completed fully shutdown the Projector and restart.

10.5 SMSManager_custom.ini file change

There is a ini file in the projector that needs to be changed so that the TMS purge
routines for the schedule run correctly. This needs to be completed on the first
installed projector, after this the SMS configuration can be exported from the first
projector to the next with the ini file change completed.

Required software:

WinSCP software
Customise ini file.exe

Method:

Run Customise ini file.exe and follow instructions.
Connect to SMS IP via WinSCP port 22
Replace the new SMSMgrServer_custom.ini at /home/sms/apps/conf/
Restart SMS server
