• BNC digital inputs: These are transformer isolated and their grounds can be 1xAES IN +10 V peak from the chassis ground. • D‐connector digital inputs: These are transformer isolated and their grounds 4xAES can be +10 V peak from the chassis ground. Note: The RS‐232 input ground is connected to the CP750 chassis ground and is not floating. Digital Audio Inputs There are two professional interface standards for digital audio transmission: AES/EBU (also known as AES3) and AES‐3id. These methods stream the same digital data and professional audio header information over copper conductor links, but use different types of conductors and connectors. AES/EBU uses a balanced connection (two conductors plus shield) with a characteristic input impedance of 110, a nominal peak‐to‐peak signal level of 5 V, and, most commonly, XLR connectors. The typical maximum transmission distance is 100 meters (328 feet). AES‐3id uses an unbalanced connection (one signal conductor plus shield) with a characteristic input impedance of 75, peak‐to‐peak signal level of 1 V, and BNC (“push and twist”) connectors. The typical maximum transmission distance is 1,000 meters (3,280 feet). Professional digital audio equipment typically uses the AES/EBU method because balanced operation yields superior noise immunity, as it does with analog audio signals, and because XLR connectors are the standard on analog professional audio equipment. Professional video equipment typically uses the AES‐3id interface, with BNC connectors. As with XLR connectors on professional audio equipment, the adoption of BNC connectors for the audio on professional video equipment stems from their use for the video signal. Also, the unbalanced AES‐3id signal can connect to more than one piece of ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
For conversion between the AES‐3id and S/PDIF formats, you can use high‐quality RCA‐to‐BNC adapters because the cable and impedance are both the same (75). For conversion between the AES/EBU and AES‐3id or AES/EBU and S/PDIF formats, a simple and economical method uses inline transformers. These devices perform the necessary impedance and balanced/unbalanced conversion. Table 2‐1 shows some examples of suitable adapters. The unbalanced connector in these examples is BNC. You can add BNC‐to‐RCA adapters for connecting to consumer S/PDIF connections. The following units use passive circuitry.

To ensure good ground contact, install a star washer on at least one (and preferably all) rack‐mounting screws as shown in Figure 2‐1. This will also aid in the prevention of electrical noise problems. Figure 2‐1 Figure 2-1 Star Washers and Rack-Mounting Screws Proper shielding and termination of cables and cable assemblies are also very important. Follow the methods shown in the wiring diagrams. Connections To connect the CP750 to your auditorium equipment, refer to Figure 2‐2. For proper operation in locations where there is considerable interference, strictly adhere to the cable types, lengths, and pin assignments. Shields must connect only to the chassis and should not be paralleled with the negative side of inputs or outputs. Connector pinouts are listed in Section 8.2. Fuse Information The CP750 uses a universal‐switching power supply that handles the full range of nominal mains voltages between 100 and 240 VAC, and any frequency between 50 and 60 Hz. If a power supply fuseinside the unit blows, do not attempt to replace it. Instead, contact Dolby Laboratories. The fuse on the unit rear panel is intended to be replaceable. If it blows, replace it with a fuse of the same type. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...

Using the Application Tabs to Configure a CP750 Fader Preset To use the Fader Preset feature, choose Enable and indicate a value on the slider. This ensures that inputs play at correct values each time they are selected. PCM Channel Assignment The analog audio output channels (L, R, C, LFE, Ls, Rs) are always fixed and hardwired to a cinema processor. However, when the input‐channel mapping of a PCM bitstream is not a default SMPTE configuration (L/R, C/LFE, Ls/Rs), you must reassign the input channels to match the hardwired audio outputs. For channel reassignment, the surround delay and the LFE filter are always tied at the output, and therefore cause no problem. To reassign the input channels, use the drop‐down Assigned To menu for each of the AES Input channels or click one of the three preset buttons (L/R C/Sw Ls/Rs; L/C R/Ls Rs/Sw; or L/Ls C/Rs R/Sw).

Playing Dolby Surround 7.1 Audio Preparation of a Dolby ® CP750 Digital Cinema Processor for Dolby Surround 7.1 audio requires four steps: Upgrade the cinema processor and server software, if necessary. Make any necessary changes to the AES audio cable connecting the server and processor. Manually change the audio output of the DSP100 Dolby Show Player (if your auditorium uses one). If necessary, make changes to surround speaker wiring to accommodate Dolby Surround 7.1 audio. This chapter provides details of the setup processes for auditoriums using Dolby cinema servers. If your auditorium does not contain a Dolby cinema server, contact the server manufacturer to ensure you have 16‐channel playback capability and to obtain the necessary digital audio pinouts of the server. Sixteen ‐channel playback is required because the Back Surround Left (Bsl) and Back Surround Right (Bsr) audio channels are carried on channels 11 and 12 (AES pair 6). Required Software The Dolby Digital Cinema server requires, at a minimum, software release v.4.2.1. The CP750 requires software version 1.2.6.5 or later. Install all required software updates before proceeding. Cable Connections Each combination of server and sound processor has its own cabling requirements. Refer to the section that matches your equipment. The combinations are: • Connecting a DSP100 to a CP750 • Connecting a DSS200 to a CP750...
Enter is highlighted gives you the option of changing to channels 9–16. Channel Mapping Use the down arrow key to select . Highlight and press the key once. 9–16 Enter Your DSP100 is now configured to pass up to 16 channels of audio. Update Surround Speaker Wiring If your auditorium is wired to support Dolby Digital Surround EX™ audio, you do not need to make any additional changes. If your auditorium is not wired to support Dolby Digital Surround EX, you may need to make changes to the wiring and add amplifiers, as described in the CP650 Dolby Digital Surround EX Connections installation note. The sound pressure level is 82 dB for each. HI and VI-N Channels With the introduction of Dolby Surround 7.1, AES pair 4 inputs to the CP750 are required for routing the Bsl and Bsr channels into the cinema processor. If these CP750 inputs are currently being used for routing hearing impaired (HI) or visually impaired narration (VI‐N, also known as audio description) channels, an external digital‐to‐analog (D/A) converter will be required for the HI/VI‐N channels. You may use aftermarket cables or adapters to fit your installation. HI/VI‐N channels may be placed in AES pair 4 (channels 7/8) or AES pair 8 (channels 15/16) depending on territory or the configuration of the digital cinema package (DCP). For the DSP100 and CP750 combination, when configured for Dolby Surround 7.1 playback, BNC connector 4 on the rear of the DSP100 will be accessible to retrieve AES pair 8. Dolby Laboratories offers a 7.1 cable to connect the DSP100 to the CP750; the cable package also includes a dongle connector to access HI and VI‐N on AES pair 4. For the DSS200 and CP750 combination, when configured for Dolby Surround 7.1 playback, all audio connections are made on the 25‐pin D‐connector port. A custom cable or breakout board can be made to retrieve the AES pair 8 from the output of the DSS200 on pins 25 and 13, as referenced in Table 5‐2. AES pair 4 from the output of the DSS200 is on ...

Checking Theatre Equipment Thoroughly check the loudspeakers and power amplifiers for any sources of poor performance, using the checklists below as a guide. 6.1.1 Speakers • Check loudspeaker cable condition and confirm that the cables are the correct gauge for the impedance of the speakers and the length of the run. • Check that the speakers are connected to the correct power amp channel. • Check for leaks in the low‐frequency driver cabinet which may sound like rattles. • Check for loose bolts or other hardware. • Check the speakers with an ohmmeter. If one channel requires markedly more equalization than the other, or if one speaker overloads at lower levels than the other speakers, an open driver circuit could be the cause. In systems with pairs of drivers, one voice coil of the pair may be open but the system will still function. • Check for missing drivers or other components. • Verify that crossover settings matching the type of drivers in use and the acoustics of the theatre. The high‐frequency driver level control must be set for the best possible frequency response before you attempt any equalization. This is especially true if the system uses active crossovers with biamp equipment. • Check for proper polarity between the low‐ and high‐frequency drivers, and between the channels. • Ensure that the speakers are correctly aimed into the auditorium, and that they are not obstructed by the screen frame, struts, or other objects. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
6.1.3 Air Conditioning If air‐conditioning noise is audible in the theatre, minimize it by: • Lubricating the motor and fan bearings • Adjusting belts and drives • Cleaning the filters or screens on the air‐conditioning returns Microphone Placement Position a microphone multiplexer in the center of the auditorium listening area. Place each microphone in the reverberant field rather than in an area that receives the most direct energy from the speakers. In addition, avoid perfect symmetry. Arrange the microphones so that they do not form a square or rectangle parallel to the sides of the room. Take care not to place any of the multiplexing microphones on the auditorium center line. Standing waves and nodes can cause measurement errors. During final SPL calibration, microphone number 1 should be placed two‐thirds of the distance from the front speakers to the rear, at the exact side‐to‐side center of the room, approximately five feet above the floor level, and rotated 45 degrees upward toward the screen. (Some multiplexer microphones are designed to be pointed directly at the ceiling.) Placement of this microphone is important for output level adjustments. Figure 6‐1 Figure 6-1 Microphone Placement for Equalization If a single microphone is used, which we do not recommend, use the number 1 position detailed above, but place it slightly off center during equalization. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Mic. Input rear panel. Note: Many microphones require phantom power, which can be enabled in the CP750 setup software. Initial Setup Prepare for the alignment process with the following steps: Set all the gain controls on all power amplifiers to known, repeatable settings. The preferred setting for most amplifier gain controls is the maximum. If a different setting is required in order to optimize the noise performance of the system, the controls should be locked in position or marked clearly. Caution: The following process causes the CP750 to output pink noise to the power amplifiers. The CP750 output levels may be set too high. If you are unsure of the settings on your unit, turn off the power amplifiers before calibrating SPL. Then, select and observe the present output level adjustment settings. Set up your crossovers if present. Apply power to the CP750. Launch the CP750 Setup Software, connect to the unit, and click Alignment. The software displays a warning that entering alignment mode will disturb auditorium audio. Click Continue in the warning tab that appears to begin the auditorium alignment process. The Room Levels tab appears active. Room Levels shows a summary of current settings, allows you to calibrate the internal SPL meter, allows you to choose a channel with which to work, or to adjust any channel’s level with a slider. Each increment of the displayed relative number from a value of 1 to 127, represents an increment of approximately 0.25 dB of range adjustment. Figure 6‐2 shows an example of the tab before the SPL is calibrated. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Aligning the Auditorium Figure 6‐2 Figure 6-2 Alignment Tab Showing Room Levels Calibrating the Internal SPL Meter You must calibrate the internal SPL before proceeding with alignment. To start the process, click C under Signal Generator Enable to activate the Center channel. Select Pink Noise from the Signal Mode drop‐down list. Pink noise is sent to the Center channel speaker. Note: The CP750 is shipped from the factory with the Mic. Input level control set to the minimum. Check the microphone level to be sure it appears in the target range as shown in Figure 6‐2. If necessary, adjust the on the rear panel of the CP750 until the level is within Mic. Gain the target range. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
6.2. Enter the measured value into the Measured Value field. Wait while the system automatically calibrates to the room reading. The calibration is retained in CP750 memory and can be used in future alignments. However, it is advisable to recalibrate the system when rearranging microphones because the sound pressure level varies slightly with microphone placement. Initial Output-Level Adjustment Next, adjust each channel slider to make sure the pink noise is audible and to achieve a reasonable sound pressure level in the auditorium. It is not necessary to set exact levels because the levels will change slightly during equalization. Exact output level adjustment is performed after equalization. Note: For this and all other adjustments using sliders, use the slider to get close to the optimal value. Use the up and down arrow keys to make fine adjustments. 6.5.1 Setting Main Channel Levels When the CP750 is first installed, you must repeat these steps for each channel. Values are adjusted on the Channel Tune tab after a channel is chosen. Figure 6‐3 shows an example with the Center channel selected. Click a channel radio button to make it active and lock pink noise to it. Check the level indicated underneath the Channel Level slider, and move it up or down until the measured level reads 85 dB. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the R and L channels, setting the Channel Level to 85 dB. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the Rs, Ls, Bsr, and Bsl channels, setting each to read 82 dB. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Aligning the Auditorium Figure 6‐3 Figure 6-3 Channel Tune Tab Showing the Center Channel 6.5.2 Subwoofer Levels After the last surround channel is adjusted, click LFE to calibrate the subwoofer. Pink noise is now present on the subwoofer channel only (140 Hz bandwidth for EQ and level setting screens). The LFE has distinct options that appear on the Channel Tune tab, as shown in Figure 6‐4. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Figure 6‐4 Figure 6-4 Channel Tune Tab Showing LFE EQ Initial subwoofer level setting uses a blue reference line displayed on the LFE Channel Tune tab, established from the Center channel pink‐noise level. Using the Channel Level slider, adjust the level, moving the average subwoofer RTA display to match the reference line on the screen as closely as possible. Final subwoofer level adjustments for both digital and Dolby ® Pro Logic ® signal paths are carried out later, after the room is equalized. Room Equalization Room equalization is performed using the RTA built into the CP750. The desired result is a frequency response that closely matches the “x‐curve” overlay (SMPTE 202M‐1998). Results achieved within ±3 dB of the x‐curve are considered within tolerance of the specification. Small diameter, pressure calibrated microphones are preferred for accuracy over large diameter types. Use of a microphone multiplexer will accommodate spatial averaging of different positions within the room, which is recommended for best results. Follow this sequence: Perform coarse adjustments of each channel using the Bulk EQ Bass and Treble sliders. Perform fine adjustments of each band using the 27‐band one‐third‐octave equalizer. Perform LFE channel equalization by setting the frequency, Q (width), and level of cut, using the single‐band parametric equalizer. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Using EQ Assist The EQ Assist feature automatically adjusts the frequency response to the x‐curve. Use this feature with care since it adjusts adjacent bands as necessary (even to extremes) to achieve the exact x‐curve. The EQ Assist feature does not adjust to room anomalies as a human operator can, avoiding overcompensation in any frequency bands. Note: If you use this feature, be sure to use it after adjusting the bass and treble bulk EQ. To prevent overcompensation for possible speaker problems, the 20, 25, 30, 40, 50, and 63 Hz, as well as the 12.5 and16 kHz, bands are not automatically adjusted. You must adjust these bands manually. 6.6.3 Making Fine Adjustments to Individual Bands Observe adjacent band effects when adjusting individual frequencies. Be aware of frequency bands that are very different from neighboring bands, and use caution so as not to overcompensate. (Major differences could be the result of a room node at the particular microphone location.) Adjust each frequency band as necessary to achieve a smooth EQ with results nearing the x‐curve overlay. The goal is to achieve (or come close to) the x‐curve without overcompensating. Remember that the SMPTE tolerance is ±3 dB, although closer results are often easily achieved. 6.6.4 Adjusting LFE Channel EQ Begin with zero cut and observe the worst peak within the spectrum. Adjust the Center slider until the frequency matches the peak, and then adjust the Cut to flatten that region. Adjust the Q (width) and Cut, until the smoothest response is achieved. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Click to check other Q values for the flattest possible frequency response. Final Output-Level Calibration Once room equalization is complete, the sound pressure level in the theatre can be set accurately. 6.7.1 Main Channels If a microphone multiplexer is being used in your auditorium, move Mic 1 to room center two‐thirds back from the screen. Click the Room Levels tab to activate it. Using the sliders, set L, C, R to 85 dB, and the surround channels to 82 dB. Note: Because the sound pressure level calibration was performed earlier, a recalibration is not required unless the microphone placement has changed. Repeat the steps in Section 6.4 if necessary. 6.7.2 Subwoofer Channel Level Whereas the final sound pressure levels of the main audio channels are ideally adjusted with a single microphone two‐thirds back from screen at room center, the subwoofer channel level is best adjusted with the microphone multiplexer cycling (if available). First complete the center channel equalization and level adjustment. On the Channel Tune tab, click LFE to make it the active channel and select Pink Noise as the Signal Mode. Use the slider and arrow keys to achieve an average level of +10 dB as indicated on the spectrum analyzer. This is the “digital” level, which is always set 10 dB higher than the Center channel. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Choose a Filter Frequency to select the crossover point between your main speakers and the LFE. Use 50 Hz if your main speakers are full spectrum. Use 100 Hz otherwise. Click Phase Invert and watch the behavior of the filter frequency band. There should be a level decrease as soon as you click Phase Invert. If you do not see a decrease, the polarity of the subwoofer wiring is incorrect. Reverse the subwoofer speaker wire connections to correct it. The subwoofer polarity always resets to normal after completing this check. Phase Invert is a temporary setting for this test only. Final Sound Check Follow these steps to do a final equalization check of the auditorium. On the Room Levels tab, click Rotate under Signal Generator Enable. Choose Signal Mode Pink Noise to start pink noise. Pink noise is sent to each channel in turn, holding for five seconds at each channel. Note: Unlike the different levels used during alignment, the rotating pink noise is set to 85 dB for all channels during this test. Pressing <Enter> stops the pink noise from moving to the next channel. Pressing <Enter> again resumes pink‐noise rotation. Go to the auditorium and sit two‐thirds of the distance from the front speakers to the rear, and at the side‐to‐side center of the room. All channels should sound equally loud and have similar frequency response as the noise rotates. An SPL meter can be used to confirm accurate and equal level settings. Nonsync Level Adjustment You can adjust the Nonsync level on the Nonsync Input tab. Click the Nonsync Input tab to open it. Play a CD or other audio source on your nonsync device and adjust the slider in the setup software for the desired level in the theatre. If possible, select a recording that has a natural ambience, such as an orchestral work. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Noise Floor Optimization 6.10 Noise Floor Optimization Noise Floor Optimization calculates and utilizes any available leftover capacity in each channel to improve the overall noise floor of the CP750. It operates by measuring the extent to which the unit uses the available headroom in the B‐chain, then boosts the overall gain to use all available headroom. The analog output level trims are then reduced by the amount of that boost, resulting in an optimally reduced noise floor. This adjustment also factors in the headroom available to the fader. Changes to the output trim values are transparent to the user, and no changes will be seen in the fader values in the setup software. Clipping may occur on high level signals if the fader is set above 7.0. ® Dolby CP750 Digital Cinema Processor Manual...
Status Monitoring and Level Control in the Setup Software The virtual status monitor at the bottom of the setup software screens shown in Figure 7‐1 provides a user‐friendly interface. Its signal‐presence meter monitors the CP750 analog output. There is a virtual input selector for each CP750 input. Clicking any of these buttons activates the associated input. Each of the digital input virtual buttons has an associated virtual LED, indicating a valid signal. The software also echoes the state of the front‐panel display and fader. Any action available at the unit front panel can be executed through the remote software. Figure 7‐1 Figure 7-1 Virtual Status Monitor ASCII Control Full control of the CP750 is available through a set of ASCII commands and queries.
