The CP750 Digital Cinema Processor is a key part of Dolby’s comprehensive digital cinema solution. It provides easy-to-operate audio control for any kind of digital cinema server, three digital preshow and alternative content sources, an existing film sound processor, a microphone input, and an analog nonsync source. Hearing-impaired and auxiliary analog outputs complement the CP750’s main eight-channel audio output.
While the CP750 is ideal for new digital-only theatres, it is also the best long-term choice for digital cinema conversions. Unlike limited-function digital adapters, the CP750 functions on its own when you no longer need to show film, saving the cost of maintaining or replacing your legacy processor.
The CP750 integrates with Dolby® Theatre Management System (TMS) software, so that it can respond to digital input selection and volume cues within a show, real-time volume control from any Dolby TMS client, and ASCII commands from third-party controllers.
Moreover, Dolby Digital 5.1, Dolby Digital Surround EX™, Dolby Pro Logic®, and Dolby Pro Logic II decoding are all included to deliver the best in surround sound before and during the show from all content.
The Dolby CP750 combines robust construction, state-of-the art hardware and software, practical functionality, and legendary Dolby quality. Whether you need to equip a single screen, a multiplex, or a large network, the Dolby CP750 is your most logical choice.
Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Features
Freestanding Digital Cinema Processor Saves cost of maintaining a legacy cinema processor coupled with a D/A adapter when film processing is no longer a requirement
Eight-Channel Digital Input (4 × AES/EBU) for Digital Cinema Server Plays up to eight-channel soundtrack; provides access to hearing- and visually-impaired narrative tracks when provided on 7/8
Two Digital Pair Inputs (1 × AES/EBU Each) Connects alternative content sources (preshow server, satellite receiver, etc.) for additional revenue
Toslink Digital Input Connects alternative content sources that output optical digital audio
Eight-Channel Analog Input Connects existing film sound processor for hybrid installations or retrofits
USB Connector Enables easy system setup from PC
Ethernet Connector Connects with Dolby TMS network and/or can be monitored, controlled, or upgraded anywhere on the network for glitch-free shows
Dolby TMS Software Integration Builds volume cues and digital input selection into shows with drag-and-drop ease for seamless control
