One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus,
system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital
cinema system. A configuration of an exhibitor system (that has one or
more components) of a digital cinema system is stored. Each of the one or
more components is then polled (e.g., using radio frequency) based on the
configuration. A determination is then made regarding the integrity of
the exhibitor system based on the configuration and results of the
polling. Further, a global positioning system (GPS) location and an
identification (of a component) is received from an exhibitor system
component. Based on the identification and the polling, a determination
may be made regarding whether the identification is for an unauthorized
component and consequently the location of the component for initiating
enforcement action.
