7.5.4.2. AutoSwitch (Optical Formats)
The XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the DTS format when it starts playing audio, provided that
the automation system has already selected either DTS or any of the optical formats—Mono, A, SR
(1) or
SR (2). If any other format has been selected by the automation system, then the XD10 will not switch
the cinema processor when audio starts.
If DTS format is selected by the automation system while the XD10 is NOT playing audio, then the
XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the SR (1) format—or A or mono, if SR (1) is not available.
If any of the optical formats—Mono, A, SR (1), or SR (2)—are selected while the XD10 is playing
audio, then the XD10 ignores the selection and immediately sends a DTS format pulse to the cinema
processor.
When the audio completes or is interrupted, the XD10 pulses the cinema processor to the assigned
fallback format or nonsync if the end of the feature is reached. If the automation system selects a
different format while the audio is playing (other than DTS or any optical format), the XD10 will not
output the fallback pulse when the audio stops. This assures that the XD10 will not override the user’s
automation choice.
7.5.4.3. Preselect Mode (SRD compatible)
This mode allows the automation system to have more control over format switching on the cinema
processor. In this mode, the automation system must select the DTS format to activate XD10
automation.
The automation system should first pulse the DTS format before the XD10 audio starts playing. In
response, the XD10 will immediately pulse the SR (1) format—or A or mono, if SR (1) is not
available. The XD10 will pulse the DTS format upon playing the XD10 audio. The XD10 pulses the
fallback format when the audio stops, or pulses the nonsync format if the end of the feature is reached.
The fallback pulse will not occur if the automation system switched formats before the XD10 audio
stopped.
