The CNA-100 Cinema Network Automation is a state-of-the-art microprocessor-based automation
system featuring user-friendly controls employing common theatre-industry terms and language
for programming. The CNA-100's network capabilities allow systems to communicate on the LSN
two-wire RS-485 serial link.The CNA-100 is accessible via a laptop or home-based PC for
direct programming and monitoring. Other features are:
- Available in console, rack or wall mount versions.
- Modular design allows for a number of installation configurations that will suit the
particular needs of any theatre.
- Termination Panels can be distributed in the booth according to their logical location.
The panels are powered and controlled by the LIN network. This greatly reduces the wire
count.

each.

software.
The CineNet™ Gateway card or the VNC (Versatile Network Controller) provides
an interface between the LSN network and a PC. This allows access to the
CNA Automations with either CineNet Host or CineSuite software. CineSuite gives the ability
to remotely access, program and monitor the CNA automation, update the CNA operating system,
backup/copy programs and settings, access diagnostic information, view show
information/history and produce summary reports.
