Dolby CP750 Accommodates Multiple Digital Audio Sources and Can Be
Managed and Controlled from One Central Location
Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE:DLB) announced today that its latest
generation cinema processor, the Dolby® CP750 Digital Cinema
Processor, will be available for orders during ShoWest starting March
30, 2009.
The CP750 is designed to work within the new digital cinema environment,
integrating easily with preshow servers, alternative content, and
digital cinema servers.
The processor has an easy-to-use interface and powerful internal
software that facilitates the setup process and can be easily programmed
to manage audio settings and configurations. It can play back PCM
digital, Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic® Dolby Pro Logic II,
Dolby Digital Surround EX™, and analog audio. In addition, the CP750 can
be monitored and controlled remotely from anywhere on the theatre’s
network.
“Dolby is committed to simplifying digital cinema for our customers,
making it easy for exhibitors to upgrade or build a complete digital
cinema environment,” said Page Haun, Senior Director of Cinema
Marketing, Dolby Laboratories. “The Dolby CP750 is the heart of a
theatre’s audio system. It provides the features and functionality that
exhibitors need for all content played in digital cinema while also
providing the reliability and fidelity that they expect from Dolby and
the Dolby brand.”
The CP750 accepts up to eight PCM channels from the digital cinema
server. Three additional digital inputs accept PCM or up to 5.1-channel
Dolby Digital from preshow and alternative content sources. An
eight-channel analog input can accept audio from existing sound
processors for hybrid film/d-cinema installations. In addition, the
CP750 can process a narrative soundtrack for the hearing and/or visually
impaired.
By allowing the theatre’s integrator or network operation center to
manage the system, the CP750 can be monitored, controlled, and upgraded
from one centralized location. It also integrates easily with Dolby’s
Theatre Management Software (TMS).
