DTS:X for IAB Cinema Processor
AIB-4000
For PLF Auditoriums
Works with All Major DCI Media Servers
Overview
Native support for DTS:X for IAB immersive audio playback (compliant with SMPTE ST2098-2 standard) is provided, with full compatibility for Dante and AES67 protocols that enable 64-channel network audio interface.
This advanced network audio support streamlines cinema wiring and connection, greatly reducing the complexity of on-site installation and subsequent maintenance work for audio systems. The processor can render up to 64 channels of audio, delivering a vivid, three-dimensional soundfield and an unparalleled immersive auditory experience for cinema audiences.
Features and Benefits
Optional GDC professional EQ module
Offers precise sound optimization for all content types, allowing tailored calibration for different film sources and cinema acoustic environments to ensure consistent, high-fidelity audio output.
Optional built-in loudspeaker crossovers
Enhance overall sound performance by optimizing audio frequency distribution to speakers, while eliminating the need for external crossover equipment—reducing both installation costs and physical space requirements for cinema audio systems.
Integrated booth
The integrated booth monitor streamlines daily operations and quality assurance work ows by providing real-time audio monitoring directly from the unit, enhancing operational effciency for theater technicians. Optional analog outputs offer exibility for external speakers to monitor.
Intuitive touchscreen front panel interface
Enables straightforward device control and parameter adjustment, featuring a user-friendly design that minimizes the learning curve for on-site operation and quick access to core functions.
Web-based user interface (Web UI)
Enables remote configuration, parameter tuning and real-time status monitoring of the processor, breaking through physical location limitations and supporting centralized, intelligent management of cinema audio equipment.
Built-in automatic audio fallback function
In the event of IAB immersive audio malfunction, the processor will seamlessly switch to 7.1 surround sound playback, avoiding audio interruption and ensuring uninterrupted viewing experience for cinema audiences.
