Author Topic: CP200 Remote Fader Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 08-30-2010 06:03 AM                     Newer CAPIO models do not have the internal trimpot, but the older models can and do mate well with the CP200 without the DF1. I will have to look at a CP200 to remember where it ties in.  |  IP: Logged Scott Ribbens Expert Film Handler Posts: 118 From: Los Angeles Registered: Oct 1999 posted 08-30-2010 06:17 AM                     Joe, Since no one has responded to this: quote: Bonus question: The CP65 remote fader connection has a common as well as A, B, C and D slots, etc. If I just want to hook up one remote fader, which slots do I connect it to? The fader is connected to A and B. C and D are for the Active Fader LED indicator.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-30-2010 04:05 PM                        Thanks Scott. I looked at the CP65 installation manual but couldn't see it, but then again I was looking at it on my iPod. Once I got home I could see the "customer supplied potentiometer" wiring and it made perfect sense. Brad, on the back of the CP200 there is remote fader 1 2 3 and 4. But I believe I need to tie into the Auditorium Fader on the upper right corner of the backplane, send and return. Not sure what the other two slots are for, probably powering an LED or something like the CP65.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 08-30-2010 08:21 PM                     Yep...the "ind" is for the LED (at 12V rather than 24V...Dolby's norm) and the "E" terminal is also for the LED. As for the pre Capio having the analog fader services on board, wow...why would Pennywise take such a nifty feature off the automation? The incremental cost increase for it would be trivial and having a separate box is inconvenient and raises the apparent cost of having a CA21 (EMK-1). I guess modern things just do less.  |  IP: Logged Joe Redifer You need a beating today Posts: 12859 From: Denver, Colorado Registered: May 99 posted 08-30-2010 09:18 PM                        Because digital is always better!  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 09-17-2011 08:46 PM                 It has been 382 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 09-17-2011 08:46 PM                     quote: Louis Bornwasser I have a couple of c/n 204's.

I didn't make the connection. Congratulations on your retirement.

In the CA21 BIOS you need to set the remote fader to 8 or some shit like that. Can't remember. But it makes the CA21 act like a CP200 remote fader. The default fader is set to mimick a CP65. Steve's CA21s suck.  |  IP: Logged Jim Henk Master Film Handler Posts: 364 From: San Diego, CA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 05-21-2012 02:02 AM                     Still looking for a couple of CAT204s, so, BUMP!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 05-21-2012 06:28 AM                        Still on top of my desk!
