As the ideal peripheral for all digital cinema installations,
the ACS-2048 is an 8x1 switcher that accepts “universal”
input formats, and outputs 12-bit twin DVI at 2048 x 1080
– one of the digital cinema standards. With a high-qual-
ity scaler at its core, upconverting any input format is as
simple as “auto-acquiring” and selecting the desired input.
However, disguised as a switcher, ACS-2048 is really a path-
way to new revenue streams for your facility. By enabling
“alternate” content to be displayed in the digital cinema
resolution, your theater’s role as a presentation facility for
events, businesses, conventions, town-hall meetings and
so much more – becomes a reality.
