IMAX multiple devices (combined projectors)

Post by Margus Voll »

Hi.

I wonder when i get error from multi device imax system then i should add DCI Specific and DCI Any instead of Transitional?
I dont see those secondary ones in my list after i checked now.

Or should it be Transitional (without authorized device info)?

I added all the certs as first one in my list as "main" one and additional two as other trusted devices.

I wonder if i'm approaching it the wrong way ?

As I understand one is master projection device and a other is slave.

I wonder how to act on it like this?

As far as I know, you can only use IMAX systems in dual projection mode if the DCP is signed with an IMAX mastering certificate. So, for plain vanilla or DiY DCP content, you are limited to one projector - no matter wether it's IMAX xenon or laser.
