Dave Habiger
Yes
Ralph Schackart – William Blair
Couple of questions if I could, Dave I’ll start with you, if you don’t mind. In our prepared remarks on Qflix, just want to get a little bit more color. I think you’d mentioned perhaps that there were other studious looking to sort of authorize Qflix service or technologies, will that just be on Amazon, or with of the other channels for the MOD?
Dave Habiger
Hi Rob, there will be other channels for the MOD, you will see a lot of studious next week, obviously in the prepared remarks we’ve referred to one of our larger customers who will be launching their drives next week. So, in that you’ll also see most of the major studios that you can image that you’d expect to see, when you purchase a movie.
Ralph Schackart – William Blair
And then?
Dave Habiger
So, they now are video both MOD and kiosk.
Ralph Schackart – William Blair
And then in terms of the services, will there also be a service announcements or where they just essentially turn on the CSS key through the online services that exist today?
Dave Habiger
The services are handled through, we were obviously handling the key servers, so the end-user will ultimately not see any of that, in all those models you’ll see that the key server and the, think of it as the CSS handshake will flow through Sonic and we’ll handle that part of transaction.
Ralph Schackart – William Blair
Okay, that’s helpful and then in terms of the linearity and the ramps of profitability, how should we think about that from modeling purposes, we’ll Q2 obviously is going to be anther sort of down quarter, will that start to ramp in Q3 and Q4 or will we get a big step function in Q4?
Paul Norris
I think we’re going to see it sort of gradually deepen throughout Q3 and then you’re right, you’re going to see the bigger impact in Q4.
Ralph Schackart – William Blair
Okay, great and then in terms of the pro group, I think you had talked about ATG being down next quarter, but should we continue to see the pro group grow quarter-over-quarter going forward?
