The CMS-2200 Cinema
Media Server with immersive sound technology includes new inventive features
for digital cinema operators worldwide.
The patented technology supports 13.1 or more immersive channels without
the need for an external rendering processor.
Utilizing the DTS Multidimensional Audio engine, USL has created an
immersive audio system that is fully DCI compliant. USL will display the new CMS-2200 at the CineEurope
convention in Barcelona, Spain, June 16 – 19.
Founder, President and Chief Technical Designer, Jack
Cashin, states, “Our patented method of processing immersive audio data on
media blocks offers a very cost effective solution that could enable wide use
of 3D audio playback in cinemas.”
In addition to the patented audio processing technology, USL
has added several other innovative features to the CMS-2200. Product
manager Bill Cribbs elaborated: “The CMS-2200 now has Cue bundling, which is
the ability to group any number of automation cues into a bundle, greatly
simplifying playlist creation. When used with the CMSA controller
this provides an incredibly powerful automation solution. In the
alternative content area, the CMS-2200 now supports HDMI auto switching, which
means HDMI presentations can be placed directly into one playlist.
An intermission feature was also added to playlist creation, which allows
a user to insert an intermission playlist inside of a feature
presentation.” The CMS-2200 servers are cloud-based and support
network transfers of both content and playlists.
Bill Cribbs further stated: “We are encouraged to see
that the solid state solution is quickly becoming the choice for replacements
and also installations in remote parts of the globe, where reliability is
mission critical.”
For more than thirty-two years,
USL, Inc. has been a global leader for technical achievements in the design,
manufacturing, research, and development of cinema products and a five-time
International Cinema Technology Association award winner for Manufacturer of
the Year.
