User manual

IO-Contact-Closure devices are defined in the Devices section. An IO-Contact-Closure device is

typically used to talk to traditional cinema systems such as lights, masking and doors. These

cinema systems are usually controlled through an automation process that simulates buttons being

pressed i.e. a contact coming together to make a circuit. The dCine uses industrial strength USB

devices from Measurement Computing to perform these tasks.

Support engineers should install the relevant driver for the Measurement Computing unit. The

driver should be installed by default on a dCine, however the driver installer can also be

downloaded from the digitAll website. Once the driver is installed and the device has been

connected, support engineers will need to detect the device using a utility that comes with the driver

installer called InstaCal.
