Kinoton offers d-cinema remote online service

May 5, 2010

Kinoton has enhanced its extensive digital-cinema support by introducing a remote online service.

Typical digital maintenance jobs like reading out log files and checking and correcting the settings of projectors and servers can now be conveniently done over the Internet. When operating errors occur, the cause can be instantly identified by remote diagnostics to get the d-cinema system up and running again as quickly as possible. Sophisticated security features including encrypted connections, virus scanners and forgery-proof hardware keys prevent unauthorized access to the connected digital projection systems.

D-cinema systems can be connected to the Kinoton remote service server via either a customer-owned PC that has been specially configured by Kinoton or a Kinoton Remote Service Box (KRS-Box). The KRS-Box also acts as an NTP time server to ensure that all parts of the d-cinema system are synchronized to prevent technical problems due to time drift. The first KRS-Boxes are already being successfully used in customer installations. Visit www.kinoton.com for more information.
