CP650

Digital Cinema Processor

The Dolby CP650 is the best investment you can make in a cinema processor.

The Dolby® CP650 is the only all-digital cinema processor capable of playing back both digital and analogue Dolby soundtrack formats. Its high quality, proven reliability, unrivaled versatility, and ease of setup have earned it a place in thousands of flagship cinemas worldwide. It can also accommodate new technologies such as digital cinema, ensuring a long and useful product life.

Five Configurations

The CP650’s most popular configuration, simply designated CP650, processes Dolby SR and A-type analogue, Dolby Digital, and Dolby Digital Surround EXsoundtracks. It also provides four AES3 inputs for digital cinema audio. To these features, the top-of-the-line CP650XO adds built-in crossovers for screen speakers, eliminating the need for a stand-alone crossover unit.

For tighter budgets, the CP650SR comes equipped to process Dolby SR and A-type analogue soundtracks only, while the CP650D adds Dolby Digital decoding; neither of these models includes Dolby Digital Surround EX decoding or digital audio inputs. However, as your needs change and new formats are introduced, you can upgrade any CP650 configuration with plug-in circuit cards and new software.

For digital cinema installations that do not require replay of film sound tracks, the CP650DC provides digital audio inputs for connection to a digital cinema server whilst removing the additional cost of 35mm support.

Exceptional Features

Built-in installation tools (including a real-time analyzer and the unique EQ Assistsystem) significantly reduce alignment time. In day-to-day operation, the Auditorium Assistfeature can alert you to discrepancies from the sound system’s initial calibration, signaling a fault such as a speaker driver failure.

The CP650 is most efficiently installed and calibrated with the help of a laptop PC running comprehensive setup software (available in several languages). Calibration can also be accomplished using the CP650’s front-panel controls and main display. Software upgrades are conveniently accomplished from a PC.

A built-in Ethernet interface makes it possible to control and monitor the CP650 from a remote location – a head office hundreds of miles away from the cinema, for example.
