The Remote Control of Multiplexed Telecine Chains

The remote control of telecine equipment of various manufacturers, in various combinations, is complicated by the nonstandard control circuits and command signals in use. By using a standard interface unit between the projectors and the remote control system, standardized command signals and consistent status indications can be used, the remote control panels can be kept simple, and telecine modifications are minimal. Automated switching systems can be incorporated into the remote control path at any time. The problem of handling both digital and analog controls is discussed, and the use of hard-wired and coded control systems are compared; a description of a typical installation is included, together with recommendations for future designs.
