      Unique Features
   
    FIPS 140-2 Certified Media Block
The SA-2100A ships with a FIPS 140-2 Level 3 Certified Media Block providing the highest level of security recommended by DCI.
    Closed Captioning Support
The SA-2100A facilitates greater access to motion pictures by displaying closed captions from DCPs on WGBH’s Rear Window Captioning devices.

      Instant playback from CRU drive sleds
The SA-2100A allows for instant playback from the CRU drive sleds without requiring content ingest. This significantly reduces time to screening in emergency situations.

      Instant playback from TMS Library
 The SA-2100A allows for instant playback from the TMS content library to the server. This makes available huge amount of content storage for playback, providing flexibility for show management.

      Swapping of data drives for immediate content playback
The SA-2100A allows instant transfer of data drives (i.e. HDD) between servers, making it possible to move a movie quickly from one screen to another.

      Removable Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Sled
The SA-2100A comes with built-in support for a removable HDD sled that allows for high-speed ingest of DCPs via industry standard hot-pluggable HDD.

      Redundant Hot Swappable 2TB Storage
The 2TB content storage of the SA-2100A uses 3 redundant hot swappable drives which can be easily attached or detached. The SA-2100A is able to remain operational in the event of a single drive failure and minimizes the downtime.
   

  DVD-Rom Drive
An internal DVD-Rom drive has been integrated in the SA-2100A to cater for ingest of DCPs from DVDs.
      Incorporation of RealD 3D EQ Technology
The availability of RealD’s 3D EQ ghostbusting technology in the SA-2100A allows for superior 3D presentations and facilitates seamless integration with RealD 3D exhibition systems.
      Remote Access of the Screen Management System
The SA-2100A includes a CD-Rom with software for the remote access of its Screen Management System (SMS) from a Windows® PC and other mobile devices such as Apple®iPhone™.
