As the ideal peripheral for all Barco digital cinema installations, ACS-2048 is an 8 x 1 video
switcher that accepts "universal" input formats, and outputs up to 12-bit DVI at 2048 x
1080. With a high-quality 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 a pathway to new revenue streams for your facility. By enabling "alternate" content
to be displayed in the digital cinema resolution, your theatre's role as a presentation facility
for events, businesses, conventions and so much more — becomes a reality.
