Author Topic: CP65 remote control Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-28-2011 08:24 PM                     I recently have been told that there has been a remote control for the Dolby CP65 (I'm not talking about the Cat. 122 & 123 remote faders here). I've been searching the internet for a while now, but I was unable to get any pictures or just the Cat.-number. I would be glad if anyone could provide pictures or just confirm its existence  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 03-29-2011 04:49 AM                     The only ones I've ever seen were made by Sound Associates here in the UK. I wouldn't imagine they still make them, but there must be some kicking around second hand in this day and age of digital. Failing that, it's really only a few buttons and LEDs, plus the fader pot. Not the most challenging thing to knock up yourself.  |  IP: Logged Marin Zorica Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 671 From: Biograd na Moru, Croatia Registered: May 2003 posted 03-29-2011 12:50 PM                     Well, there is pinout in CP65 manual and you can make one on you're own without problems, even you can be kinky as I am and make one controlled by PC hehe  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 03-29-2011 02:25 PM                        The Sound Associates one is very nice. Louis  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 03-30-2011 06:02 PM                     So do I get this right that there has been no official one, built by Dolby themselves? This Sound Associates model sounds interesting. Has anyone a photo or could take one of his? I know it's kind of simple to build such a remote yourself, but as I'm building my home cinema at the moment, it would be really nice to have something that looks professional.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 03-30-2011 06:12 PM                     If that's the case, you should get yourself a few variacs and some big knife switches. If you can find an old open frame rotary converter that would be even better. You should make your booth look like Dr. Frankenstein's laboratory!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-01-2011 12:01 PM                        Sound associates (London) sold their unit throught Dolby and was in my Dolby price list. Model starts "SA-...." btw: One of my friends (who shall go nameless) says he intends to built a tube-type CP-50 in retirement. louis  |  IP: Logged Alan Lyman Film Handler Posts: 13 From: Copenhagen, Denmark Registered: Aug 2000 posted 04-12-2011 07:49 AM                     KCS/Kelonik in Spain,also made a CP65 remote,withe led bargraph for volume,format pushbuttoms,and staus led on the pushbuttoms  |  IP: Logged
