Author Topic: CP-50 autofader Matthew Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: Essex, UK Registered: Mar 2004 posted 10-29-2005 08:20 AM                     I have a CP-50 that doesn't have remote fader card. Will connecting a potentiometer across the autofader connections on the back enable me to control the output of the unit?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

As you can see, I'm not used to the multi-amp concept!  |  IP: Logged Ben Wales Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 602 From: Southampton.

You would need a Cat 117 Fader Card, You should have one installed or is the one you own a spares one?.  |  IP: Logged Matthew Taylor Expert Film Handler Posts: 186 From: Essex, UK Registered: Mar 2004 posted 10-30-2005 05:09 PM                     No, I've only got the Cat 111 output card.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-30-2005 06:26 PM                     If you the 111 then you will need a ganged potentiometer for your fader that the outputs of the CP50 flow through as is shown in the cp50 manual  |  IP: Logged
