Author Topic: Dolby CP750 Specs and Price? Lyle Romer Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1400 From: Davie, FL, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 03-18-2009 11:51 AM                     I just saw a press release on the release of the new "Just for D-Cinema" CP-750. Does anybody have any info related to performance specs (i.e. will it actually handle the hypothetical 24 bit/94 kHz PCM audio)? Also, does anybody have any idea what the list price (and expected street price) will be? How will it compare price wise to the JSD-80 which is very reasonable for D-Cinema?  |  IP: Logged Kevin Fairchild Expert Film Handler Posts: 125 From: Kennewick, WA, USA Registered: Oct 2008 posted 03-18-2009 03:30 PM                     I don't have any specs, but here is a picture of the CP750 link to hi res picture http://mms.businesswire.com/bwapps/mediaserver/ViewMedia?mgid=175618&vid=5&download=1  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

No doubt, it will integrate with the Dolby Show Player a bit so one need not actually touch the CP750 if they set their shows up well.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-18-2009 08:14 PM                     It has a bit of a "Lake Processor" look to it in the display. Steve  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

QSC has announced a full on B-chain processor with monitor and crossovers. USL will no doubt introduce a B-chain processor as well. I'm sure if Norm of Smart was still active, he'd be out with something as well. [ 03-19-2009, 08:23 PM: Message edited by: Sam D.

Chavez QSC has announced a full on b-chain processor with monitor and crossovers. Would this basically be a Basis and DCM all rolled into one? Would you be able to use this processor in a passive setup? (You can't use a DCM in a passive house; it must be bi- or triamplified.) From what I understand, the JSD80 is very well suited for digital. (I don't have any in digital houses; I have one XD10P in a film house.) I imagine it would't be difficult to remove the unnecessary film functions. Would anything need to be added?  |  IP: Logged Sam D.

Don't know the answer but will check.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-19-2009 08:44 PM                     Clint told me at ShowEast that USL was indeed going to offer a film-less version of the JSD-80.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 03-19-2009 11:53 PM                       USL, Bet on it. I was referring to finding out about whether QSC would support a non bi-amped house.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 03-20-2009 01:12 AM                        I have 4 DCM-1s running in passive houses. A nice little red light comes on (load fault).  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 03-20-2009 06:12 AM                     I'm pretty sure I saw a QSC announcement about their DCinema processor. I would think that it would be more of a DCM10/30 with full B-chain facilities and some more inputs rather than a Basis system...which is often a 2-part Cobranet system and really already has B-chain facilities. I'll bet if you ask anyone in the QSC booth at ShoWest they will probably tell you what they are cooking.

Everything you need between server and amps. SRP is $8000, I believe.  |  IP: Logged Samuel Hynds Film Handler Posts: 50 From: Riverside, CA, USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 03-20-2009 10:20 AM                     Hay Ken, The DCM-10 and the new DCP-300 can be set-up to handle a passive screen system.
