Dolby Digital Cinema Sound Processor CP750

The Dolby® Digital Cinema Sound Processor CP750 provides easy-to-operate audio control in digital cinema environments equipped with the latest technology while integrating seamlessly with existing technologies.

The CP750 supports innovative Dolby Surround 7.1 premium surround sound, and will receive and process audio from multiple digital audio sources, including a digital cinema server, preshow servers, and alternative content sources. The CP750 is ready for the network operations center (NOC) and can be monitored and controlled anywhere on the network for status and function. Hearing-impaired (HI) and auxiliary analog outputs complement the CP750’s main eight-channel audio output.

The CP750 integrates with Dolby Show Manager software, enabling it to process digital input selection and volume cues within a show, real-time volume control from any Dolby Show Manager client, and ASCII commands from third-party controllers.

Moreover, Dolby Surround 7.1 (D-cinema audio), 5.1 digital PCM (D-cinema audio), Dolby Digital Surround EX™ (bitstream), Dolby Pro Logic® II, and Dolby Pro Logic decoding are all included to deliver the best in surround sound from all content sources for your single-screen, multiplex, or large network.

Dolby Digital Cinema Sound Processor CP750 Features

Dolby Show Manager Software Integration Builds volume cues and digital input selection into shows with drag-and-drop ease for seamless control

Eight-Channel Digital Input (4 × AES/EBU) for Digital Cinema Server Includes support for Dolby Surround 7.1; provides access to hearing-impaired (HI) and visually impaired-narrative (VI-N) tracks when provided on 7/8

Two Digital Pair Inputs (1 × AES/EBU Each) Connects alternative content sources (for example, preshow server or satellite receiver)

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 a PC

Ethernet Connector Connects with Dolby Show Manager network and/or can be monitored, controlled, or upgraded anywhere on the network for glitch-free shows
