Author Topic: CP 65 and Cat 300 cards Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 11-09-2010 11:22 PM                        I have a question regarding the installation of the cat 300 cards. I just installed a cp65 that only had a cat 222SR/A card in it. I also have a pair of Cat 300 SR/A cards. Is there anything that I need to do other than just plug these cards in to make them work? I know if its an older back plane or if I'm using Mag there are some modifications that need to be done. There are two indicator lights on the Cat 300. Do these ever light? Right now they don't light up at all. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The backplane modifications were for early CP65s that would not recognize the Cat222 "SR"/A. With the Cat 300s or 350s in place, it will use the superior SR noise reduction. A noise reduction will still be from the Cat 222 though...which is fine. You only get the A type out of the Cat 300s if are running in 70mm mode.

If so, how?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
