Author Topic: DTS breakout boards Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 07-31-2016 04:34 PM                     As I am planning for two 35mm audio installs at the moment, I was thinking about what breakout/adaptor-boards I need. Is it possible that the schematics of all DTS-breakout-boards are unpublished? I have only come across some kind of PCBs with no traces on them in the processor manuals. Can anyone help me with schematics and/or PCBs of these boards? And if not: Some high-res photos also would really help me DTS D567 DTS E557-01 DTS D564  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 07-31-2016 08:17 PM                     Hi Fabian, may be I misunderstand what you are after - but the schematics of all common breakout boards are in the DTS6/6D manuals? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 07-31-2016 08:27 PM                     Hi Carsten, I am after the schematics of these boards so I can manufacture them on my own. After all it is not that easy to find them used. I have checked the manuals you have mentioned several times and did not come across any schematics - probably I am just blind or something Can you give me hint where to look?  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 08-02-2016 06:40 PM                     Now I have triple-checked all manuals I have and there for sure are no schematics. Looks like I have to design my own circuit boards. I am only wondering what all other people were doing so far. I can not really imagine that everyone who was installing such processors over the last few years had shelves full of breakout boards.  |  IP: Logged Phil Ranucci Expert Film Handler Posts: 236 From: Carpinteria,CA, United States Registered: May 2006 posted 08-02-2016 06:41 PM                     D567 CP200 interface D564 CP65 Logic E557-01 ? I've got some lying around, I'll look.  |  IP: Logged Allan Lyman Film Handler Posts: 35 From: COPENHAGEN, S /copenhagen,denmark Registered: Apr 2016 posted 08-03-2016 05:21 AM                     I have some D715 boards.they can be used for both DTS6+DTS6D. the schematic you surch can be found in the DTS6D manual,here on filmtech pm if intersted in the boards Alan Denmark  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-03-2016 10:48 AM                     The schematics for the various interface boards are on the last section of this manual http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/manuals/DTS6D.pdf You could use a simple cheap layout program like sprint layout to lay out your board from them  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 08-05-2016 07:44 AM                     Fabian - maybe you mean not 'schematics', but 'PCB layouts' so you can copy the original breakout boards directly? After all, most of the breakout boards are not really complicated to emulate by cable converters or other means, once you understand what you actually need. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Fabian Schreyer Film Handler Posts: 63 From: Aachen, Germany Registered: Feb 2009 posted 08-05-2016 05:09 PM                     Carsten, I definitely do mean "schematics", although PCBs also would be nice. You are right - my idea was to just copy the original boards. Thanks Gordon for pointing out that there are some schematics in the old version of the DTS6D manual which I did not check before! But of course there are no schematics for newer and more complex boards like the E557-01 which I need for using the XD10 together with a CP65 and a DA20. Main point is: In the beginning I was just hoping that PCBs an part lists for these boards would be floating around somewhere. That would have made the whole process a lot easier. But as it is, I will probably have to design boards of my own. Still it would be great if anyone could supply photos of both sides of the E557 and/or explain what the transistor does on this board.  |  IP: Logged Allan Lyman Film Handler Posts: 35 From: COPENHAGEN, S /copenhagen,denmark Registered: Apr 2016 posted 08-08-2016 07:25 AM                     The 557 board is for CP200.It has relays,which swich between XD10 and CP200/DA20.Do the transistor is for swicthing the relays  |  IP: Logged
