Dolby CP500 Digital Cinema Processor
If you want superb sound, the most advanced technology, and
unmatched flexibility–plus the prestige and instant name recognition of the
Dolby logo up on your marquee–the Dolby CP500 belongs in your theatre. It is
the ideal single-solution processor for any theatre committed to quality presentation,
yet it is surprisingly cost effective. With built-in Dolby Digital and analog processing,
it costs less than an analog processor and separate digital adapter.
Best of both worlds
The CP500, unlike other digital cinema processors, takes advantage of the best of
analog as well as digital technologies. Processes such as third-octave speaker equalization
and 2:4 matrix decoding that genuinely benefit from it are digitally implemented in the
CP500. Other processes, such as Dolby decoding for A-type and SR sound-tracks, can only be
approximated by digital technology, and so are implemented with high-performance analog
circuitry. The result is uncompromised performance on all soundtracks–analog as well as
digital.
Easy to install, use, maintain
Graphic displays and built-in test instrumentation make the CP500 far easier to align
and calibrate than conventional processors, and no external PC is required for setup.
An easy-to-read LCD screen and uncomplicated front panel simplify booth operations.
Format selection is particularly simple, thanks to software that can be readily programmed
to accommodate any existing or likely future format. Built-in diagnostics enable theatre
staff to verify performance of the complete theatre sound system.
Easy to update
As improvements to the CP500's digital control and processing software are developed,
the latest revisions can be easily downloaded from a PC. Moreover, updates to the audio
coding used for Dolby Digital soundtracks, which are included from time to time right on
Dolby Digital release prints, download automatically into the CP500 the first time such
a print is played in the cinema.
Options available for the CP500 include internal time-aligned Linkwitz-Riley crossover
networks for the cinema's screen speakers that both simplify booth installation and cost
less than equivalent freestanding crossovers.
Unmatched support
With the CP500, you get more than a superb processor; you also get the unrivaled
support of Dolby Laboratories. Hundreds of technicians worldwide have been factory trained
in the installation and maintenance of Dolby equipment. Emergency technical assistance is
available on call, as is backup from the most experienced distributor network in the
industry. The CP500 is the only digital cinema processor backed by a 20 year history of
making films sound better.
