1. Cinema (WCC 161)
a. booking
The Weitz Cinema can be reserved by contacting Steve Richardson, Director of the Arts (srichard@carleton.edu; -4389).
b. lights
Just inside the main entrance, on the right side of the door frame as one walks into the space, there's a small panel with a green LED. The buttons on this panel control a number of lighting settings for the room.
c. playing a movie
In the projection booth, tap the LCD panel once. It will turn on and read, "Welcome to the Weitz. Please press what you want to do." From the column of buttons along the right side of the screen select, for example, "DVD." Insert a DVD or Blu-ray disc into the player and press play. Best practice: The only sure way to head off tech trouble lurking in a given copy of a film, is to watch it in its entirety on the system it's going to play on, with lead time enough to secure another if problems are found.
d. talking
A handheld wireless mic is stored in the teaching station. This can be attached to the teaching station by a gooseneck stored in the same place.
e. some tech specs
Signal comes into a Denon DN-A7100 processor (reference manual). Sync sound in the room is managed by a Lectrosonics DM1612. Then volume control at the LCD panels (one in the rack, the other at the teaching station) is enabled by AMX AXB VOL3 Volume ControlSignal. From there, signal is sent to a 13,900-watt array of amps: a LabGruppen C 5:4X and C 10:8X; A LabGruppen C 28:4 and two LabGruppen C 48:4 amps. The amps power ten EV [SL-10|http://electro-voice.com/family.php?id=51] (120W cont/480W peak) speakers side and rear, two EV [TL-880D|http://www.electrovoice.com/product.php?id=223] subwoofers (700W cont/2800W peak), and three ElectroVoice TL606ST+HPK Variplex II Cinema Series front/center speakers (800W continuous/3200W peak). (The speakers have a total capacity of 5000W cont/20000W peak).
A snake connects the teaching station to AC power, data and signal in the wall that allows the teaching station to be positioned as far downstage as the third row of seats in front. The plugs on the snake are clearly labelled by what port in the wall they need to be connected to. When not in use, the teaching station is stored in the large closet stage right.
