Author Topic: Using CP65 for Digital Cinema Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-18-2011 09:59 AM                     I just found out that we are converting to all digital in 5 weeks. My understanding is that they are planning to use the existing CP65's. Looking over the diagrams I don't see a 6 channel aux input. Are we able to use the DA20 inputs?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 05-18-2011 10:32 AM                        Yes. louis  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-18-2011 11:06 AM                     That's what I was hoping. Thanks Louis.  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

The inputs to the 65 are analog. You need to convert the digital using USL DAX at a minimum, or ECI, Dolby DMA8, etc.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 05-19-2011 10:26 AM                     To my knowledge they are using the USL DAX D/A converter.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 05-19-2011 11:59 AM                     Every server manufacturer or integrator offers their own D/A converter anyway if the server has no analog outs himself or the CP no digital in. It's usually part of the package if a decent pre-offer inventory has been requested. In addition to the D/A, you may also need a multichannel switching box with automation input. Or, a solution like DMA8 which includes it. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Olivier Lemaire Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Paris, Ile de France, France Registered: Jan 2010 posted 05-19-2011 08:47 PM                        a Doremi DCP2K and it's A/D converted (named AUD-D2A), and you'll be fine. In some weeks, the latest Doremi software release will even allow you to deal sound level as if you had a remote fader So, don't worry - be happy  |  IP: Logged
