Dolby CP750

The Dolby CP750 underscores Dolby`s commitment to simplifying digital cinema,
making the upgrade easy and economical. Designed to work with the new digital
cinema environment, the Dolby CP750 seamlessly integrates with preshow servers,
alternative content, and digital cinema servers. The processor has an
easy-to-use interface and powerful setup/remote software, and it can play back
PCM digital audio; Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic®, Dolby Pro Logic II, and
Dolby Digital Surround EX streams; and analog audio.

By allowing the theatre`s network operations center to manage the system, the
unit can be monitored, controlled, and upgraded from one centralized location
via the Internet. The CP750 can process hearing impaired and visually impaired
tracks.
