Author Topic: Question About Century Bel Mar 16 Video Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-04-2005 12:01 PM                     I was just watching the Bel Mar 16 video and have a question about the sound rack shown. Towards the very end of the video it shows a sound rack with a Dolby CP-650 in it. What is the unit that is just below the 650? I have never seen one before. I am guessing it's a booth monitor. What make and model is it? Can anyone enlighten me on this? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

It's supposed to look like R2D2.  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-05-2005 12:16 AM                     I am honestly surprised that THX is still hanging on. I would have thought they were phased out by now much like Sony SDDS fell to the wayside. The last THX booth I worked was ten years ago. It seems like digital sound is no longer a big deal to customers anymore either. When I speak of it to people, most of them don't even know what DTS or Dolby digital is or could really care. I guess the cinema industry needs a new gimmick to renew people's enthusiasm to go to the theaters again. Maybe that is what D-cinema is supposed to do.?  |  IP: Logged Joshua Waaland Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: Cleveland, Ohio Registered: Dec 1999 posted 02-05-2005 03:28 PM                     Tried going to THX website and couldn't find anything on it. Does anyone have information on it and pictures? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged
