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 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. Should you have any questions regarding the installation or operation of the ACS system, please consult with the factory.

All inputs support standard interlaced sources, and all input connectors are located on the front panel for user convenience. Provides an HDCP "decrypted input" and "encrypted output" path.

This feature enables copy-protected content to be displayed at digital cinema resolutions, while maintaining copyright security. Includes a user-friendly front panel and an intuitive menu display. For proper implementation, products that are compatible with the HDCP format require a secure connection to a compliant display, such as a digital cinema projector.

The source device queries the display to ensure that the equipment is HDCP compliant before video is shown. If you have application questions, require further information or would like to discuss your application requirements in more detail, please call Our Customer Support Engineers will be happy to supply you with the support you need. This input is identical to Input 2. This input supports sampling up to [email protected] Hz. Sources with native pixel rates greater than MHz will be filtered and undersampled at Mhz.

Brightness is adjustable. Turn the knob clockwise CW to scroll up. Each press takes you back up the menu tree by one level. Inputs Section The buttons in the Inputs Section enable you to select system inputs, or the built-in test pattern. In this situation, internal black automatically replaces the previous on air source, and the source cannot be used on air until sync is restored.

When any valid input is selected, the button lights, and the input is routed to the output using a transition through black. The transition rate is adjustable in the System Menu. When another input is selected, the system transitions to the new input. Only 8-bit output mode can be selected on this connector, providing standard 8-bit DVI output. To increase color depth, bit or bit output mode can be selected on this connector.

Use the Output Menu to change the output mode and bit-width. In 8-bit mode, a connection is required from Connector A only.

Connect power — Ensure that power is properly connected to the ACS Turn on power — Turn on power to the ACS, your projector, and to all peripheral devices as required.

Set output format — Set the desired output format. Set output mode — Set the desired output mode to 8-bit, bit or bit. Adjust output — As required, scale the output to fit the actual projected image. Save output configuration — After completing all output adjustments, save the output configuration. Enable test pattern — Turn on the desired test pattern, and verify that you have an image on your projector.

When complete, turn off the test pattern. Operation Quick Setup and Operations Connect inputs — Connect all inputs to the ACS, and check for the proper backlight, which indicates that sync is detected. Select and adjust inputs — As required, select an input, and perform the necessary adjustments, such as crop, brightness, contrast, color balance, and timing.

Save input configuration — After completing all adjustments for an input, save the input configuration. Repeat for each input — repeat steps 10 and 11 for each input that you have connected to the ACS Adjust system parameters — As required, adjust all desired system parameters such as transition time, display brightness, and your user preferences. Save system configuration — After completing all system adjustments, save the system configuration.

Ready to roll — With all output, input and system configurations saved, press the desired input button, and begin your presentation. Ensure that the button is lit, indicating that the signal is valid. Please use this diagram for reference as you learn how to operate the system.

To enter a sub-menu, scroll to the desired line and press SEL. To accept a parameter or value, press SEL. The edit cursor changes back to the navigation cursor. Throughout this chapter, entire menus will be shown for clarity — rather than a series of four-line sections.

If a value is displayed between brackets, e. Both hyperlinks and page numbers are provided. Operation Quick Function Reference Table These settings will be automatically recalled each time the unit is turned on. When the input type is changed. When the input signal changes sync rates. When an input with a saved configuration file is selected, but the input timing is different from the saved configuration. When Input Auto Acquire is OFF, the system uses the last known configuration for each input channel, to the greatest extent possible.

At some point, the input signal may be too far away from the saved configuration, in which case a good input lock may not be possible. In this situation, the "Invalid Signal" message is shown, and the video output will be black. In this mode, if the timing changes on any of your inputs whether or not you have a saved configuration file , you will always get an output image. On the other hand, if the mode is OFF and the timing of an input changes, the output will be black.

Tip 42 If you have already saved configuration files for your input sources, it is recommended that you turn the In Auto Acquire mode OFF. This mode provides the fastest transition times. When the mode is ON, transition times will be greater, due to the additional time required to analyze the input timing for each selected source.

The selected input button is shown on the top line. INPUT x76 8 Input Menu sample The Input Menu enables you to set configuration options for the selected input channel. While you are already within the Input Menu, select a different input button. In this case, the menu fields update to reflect the values for the newly selected input.

Note Changing the menu entries for one input will not affect the input configuration of the other channels. If the currently selected format does not match the input signal for the selected channel, the output remains black, and the display indicates "Invalid Signal. The ACS automatically detects the type of input signal, and selects the correct type. In this mode, the system finds the first and last pixel on each edge, and ensures to the best possible extent that the entire image is visible.

In addition, if the input is analog, the system automatically phases the input to determine the correct sampling phase. The Crop and Pan functions allow you to crop off unwanted video e. Values are in pixels. Values are in lines. Note that the value reads [0] if the image has not been cropped horizontally. Note that the value reads [0] if the image has not been cropped vertically.

The Aspect Ratio function allows you to set a pre-defined or custom ratio for the input. Note that the default value depends on the last Aspect Ratio selected before Custom was chosen. Note The ACS selects and displays the input video aspect ratio according to the input format detected. The menu changes slightly, depending on the selected sampling mode or Oversample. This menu allows for exact positioning of the input signal's active area.

Tip Ensure that there are non-black pixels around the extreme edges of your active video, in order for the image to be properly sized by the Auto Config function. For example, if you use a Windows desktop with a high luminance background, the Auto Config function will be accurate. If, on the other hand, you use a desktop image with a black border, the image will not be properly sized. Sampling — select this function to change the sampling for the selected input.

Available values are: Oversample and default. All other input types have defined sample clocks that are inherently If the input is set to one of the other types, the value is [].

If Oversample is selected, the field is hidden. The sample phase value is initially filled in by the Auto Config command, or set to the default value. You can further fine-tune the image by adjusting the sample clock phase directly.

H Active — sets the size of the active area. This value is measured, and can never be adjusted. Its value will always be shown in brackets. V Active — sets the size of the active area. The digital input sources have embedded syncs, and the composite, S-video, and YPbPr inputs always take sync from the Y or composite channel. The mode, which detects the film pulldown sequence, should be turned ON to properly process video derived from film source material.

A confirmation message is briefly displayed, after which the system returns to the Input Menu. Savin g Inpu t Config Figure
