Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 06-29-2015 05:30 AM                     Well there you have it...from the master himself!  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 06-30-2015 02:59 AM                     Well, thanks for the in depth info here. Still, this makes me wonder, are those updates still included on the recent 35mm Dolby Digital releases?  |  IP: Logged Steve Kraus Film God Posts: 4094 From: Chicago, IL, USA Registered: May 2000 posted 07-05-2015 12:23 PM                    Quoting a public discussion on Facebook: Me: "I'm curious what happens if you get a NIB old CP500 or DA20. Do films still have the software updates built into them? I thought they gave that back channel over to slowly caching data ahead of the reel break." Brad Hohle (Dolby): "All reels of DD films carry the complete load of playback software plus cache data. Neat huh?"  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-06-2015 03:25 AM                     interesting. So to make sure my 500 is running the latest software I just need to acquire a recent reel of whatever! Thanks  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

Does the SRD software get downgraded?  |  IP: Logged Marco Giustini Film God Posts: 2713 From: Reading, UK Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-06-2015 08:53 AM                     I'm not an expert on the matter but I believe it would be easy for the system to just check the version before applying the upgrade!  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-07-2015 09:42 PM                        All Dolby digital upgrades are backwards compatible.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-18-2016 05:30 PM                 It has been 407 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Steve Roberts Film Handler Posts: 52 From: Whitchurch Shropshire UK Registered: Jul 2016 posted 08-18-2016 05:30 PM                     I have been given a CP500 and it has a password which is not 0000, 1000, 1234 or 4321.
