Strato and Seymour neo trim masking screen

Guys, I will be receiving my new masking screen next week. ?, can I connect it the starato so it will recognize the aspect ratio of the movie when I turn it on? I see it has a trigger so would i run a 20’ cable from the screen to the Strato? Thank you
 
I'm not familiar with that specific screen, but in general you'll need some kind of control system to respond to the Kaleidescape player's aspect ratio events and send appropriate masking commands to the screen.

Congratulations on the new screen. You're going to love having masking.
 
Thanks Mike for the reply... But is their no physical connection from the screen to the strato?
 
The screen will typically be controlled by a connection with RS-232 or Ethernet cable.

There is no direct connection from screen to Strato. There needs to be a third party control unit to translate the Strato language to the Screen control language. This is usually home automation controller like Crestron, Savant or Control4. Some have used a simple Computer to do it like a Rhapsody Pi mini pc.
 
Perfect. Thank you. I have Control4 but it might be a few weeks/month before someone can come out to work on it. I guess a harmony would work as well.
 
If you have Control4, there's good driver support in the Kaleidescape drivers for screen masking events. I use a Control4 system in my own theater to control my Screen Research screen masking.
 
Thank you Mike, Now another issue, my EA1 is pulling 10.2 ip, not sure why..
