Author Topic: CP500's Freezing Steven C. Clode Film Handler Posts: 1 From: Basildon, Essex,United Kingdom Registered: Jun 2006 posted 10-06-2006 05:52 AM                     Does any one else have problems with their CP500's frezing for no apparent reason? The problem seems to be random and can occur on any of our 12 processors. We have replaced numourous Eproms and Cards including all Cat681's The front panel will freeze and the sound will only come from certain random Channels. We also get quite a lot of Static problems with the surround speakers ticking any ideas?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-06-2006 08:14 AM                     Most of the cp500 issues were on older units with the molex connectors on the powersupply causing glitchs as well as random power line noise I put a UPS on all processors and almost all the problems have gone away  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

One of the supplies took out the Dolby Digital CCD reader on its way down (and three other cards). Steve  |  IP: Logged
