Posts: 3686 From: Dallas, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-13-2003 08:10 PM                     eeewww! CinemAcoustics! Which processor are you using? I might still have some software around here somewhere ... The version I have is for the CA-CP600S and it's version 1.0d.7a. I don't have the install software, but I think it works just copying the files into a directory.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-13-2003 08:20 PM                     nope it is an actual win install that sets up several dll's  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

There are some nifty things about it and some really dumb things. The fader comes to mind. Like the SDDS fader...it only has a range (+/-10dB) so you can not fade to zero. The "mute" function is either on or off...no fade. So forget about any smooth transistions from music to film or back. The EQ section is pretty straight forward and overall I don't mind the GUI of the software. If you have used Peavey's Media Matrix, it will look awfully darn familiar.

You can also program non-sync to fade in and out for up to 7 seconds.  |  IP: Logged Peter Hall Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: London, UK Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-14-2003 10:48 AM                        HI and thanks as always. I'm adding a 35mm projector and SRD to an existing large screen venue, processor is a CA DP300. Is the software capable of talking direct to a DP300 standalone ? We're looking at adding an entire CP650 thru the 6 chl analogue input, and maybe later switching the CP650 to being the main processor..  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-14-2003 05:56 PM                     Remeber the large format configuration of that processor is based on a "Imax track configuration LS L C R RS R top Sub is a sum  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-14-2003 07:00 PM                     The 3000 and 2500 are certainly an improvement over the original 2000...Peavey only had the one generation (with several different models) Steve  |  IP: Logged
