Calling them big, noisy, and hot does not do them justice. Notice the stove pipe to exit the heat.

A glance out the projection booth window shows the 23' x 42' screen. It's perforated.

The Christie CP2000 digital is the PJ of choice these days.

Here's a closer look at its control touch pad.

This is where they mix Family Guy, Entourage, and other TV shows hence, the TV for final checks. The playback system is JBL LSR units.

It was pretty darn dark in there, so the pictures barely show the LSRs.

This is nearly the equal of Stage one. Its size is comparable, but the mixing equipment is a bit less. It has a nice pool table.

These volume units are all over the place.

Christie dual 35/70mm projector I can’t see or tell what model not that it maters as long as it’s dual to handle both formats.
The pipe or vent to vent all that heat out of the lamp house as that xenon will be blinding hot and explosive as well it is lethal if you played around with and make hell of mess when it explodes!
I wonder if its 4KW or 7KW xenon?
The digital projector looks like the same one I saw at the VUE West End last month in one of their THX screens.
Yeah some digital cameras are just useless unless you have smart cheap SLR digital camera. Is it camera phone that you’re using Doug?
It’s nice to see some JBL LSR in the smaller dubbing rooms.
Keep those pictures coming along there, you did have enough memory on that card?
It describe film sound back in the analog days. Then it was 35mm open reel decks, lots of them. Each deck had an operator, his job was to press the play button at the correct time to add the sound on the tape to the final mix. Later automation was added and the tape decks were operated by remote control.
At the radio station I still have 1 open reel, several cart decks and CD players. The CD players are emergency backup in case the on air PC hangs up, which it does since it's a Windows PC, not my choice!
My production rooms are not fancy, mixing console, 2 PCs and JBL monitors!
Thanks for sharing that rare experience... would have been a real treat.
Maybe next year, if there's a repeat
I found brief reference to the two dual 35/70mm projectors that are used at Todd-AO

There's 70 photos. See if you can spot the JBL 4412s. Also, see if you can spot me. I'm in at least 24 of them, although it's a bit "Where's Waldo" in some of them.
For a good look at my duds, check out the picture where I'm next to the CSI sign as I enter Stage 4.

Hey, TD,.
Great photos, and yes, I "found" you! Looks like you all had a fine day, and got to see some really interesting goodies. Thanks for sharing your day with us. Take care, and God Bless!
Every Good Wish,
Doc
