In the last few years it became necessary to design a new generation of theatre automation that could be flexible, interactive, "intelligent" and modular.
To reach this goal Cinemeccanica has used and industrial logic programmer (with built-in microprocessor and memory).
FLEXIBILITY
Monitor and keyboard can be installed in multiple points (besides the projection room) and in this way they allow to change in any moment of the day the preset programming or the actual performance: the intermissions can be shortened, lengthened or suppressed, sound levels can be preset and type of sound reproduction (mono or different types of stereo) can be programmed.

INTERACTIVITY
The change of parameters is totally guided: the projectionist has only to answer yes or no to the questions the automation shows on the monitor. The automation also makes sure the answers are acceptable.
The programming can be protected by a keyword to limit the access to authorized people only.

INTELLIGENCE
The automation unit controls the running of the performance taking charge of projectors, light sources, sound sources and other theatre services. The status of the equipment is shown on the video.
Any fault activates a diagnostic routine and the projectionist can see flashing on any of the videos what is the problem that has occurred.
The automation unit also adds waiting times if the film has been incorrectly partioned between the two projectors.

MODULARITY
The automation unit can memorize and run personalized software. Extra input/output modules can be added to control any number of auxiliary theatre circuits.
