We have a DCP-2K4 connected to a Christie CP-2220 projector via SDI for video and connected to a Dolby CP750 via AES for audio.
I can't make automation cues for Cp750, Please help me connect automation cues.
Thanks.

I think it's written somwehere on the forum.

Connect the CP750 to the doremi network (give it a proper IP configuration so it can be seen);
create a device under control panel/device manager. RAW device, the IP of the 750, port number 61408.
Now you have to create a command for each function. To do so, go under Macro management (or what it's called, can't remember now!), create a new macro - for example "Fader 7.0" and add an action on the right pane. Choose a "message" to be sent to the device you've just created (say CP750), as text.

For fader you will send the following message:

cp750.sys.fader xx
replacing xx with a fader setting (7.0 will be 70).

Other commands available:
cp750.sys.input_mode xxx
with xxx: dig_1 dig_2 dig_3 dig_4 film analog non_sync

cp750.sys.mute x
with x= 0 or 1

cp750.sys.pcm_2_channel_decode_mode_1 xxxx
with xxxx= lr_discrete (for 5.1) - 4_discrete_sur (for 7.1)

As said, you will end up with a macro for each command (i.e. each fader setting will have a macro available)

Hope this is clear enough, let me know if it's not.

There is also a cueslib for the CP750 available for the Doremi on Doremis european support ftp site.

Of course you can set it up manually as well, as Marco describes.
