Author Topic: Datasat Digital Entertainment acquired by ATI Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 04-04-2018 10:43 AM                     Dirac Live is already available for the AP20 and apparently, there are some recent AP20 revisions that feature HDMI 2.x/4K compliant input switches. So, it's more like a re-badging of the existing, latest revision AP20. Apparently no big improvements in regards to next-gen MDA-based audio formats.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The datasheet mentions a future AES67 capability. I don't think that will work through the standard 10/100 control port, so they will probably add that through an extension card. Remains to be seen wether the AP20/25 has the necessary computing ressources to do MDA on it's own. But maybe the AES67 extension is a hint towards an external MDA processor or something.similar. Well, anyway, good to see they remain in the cinema market. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-16-2018 10:10 AM                     Was someone successful in contacting ATI-AMP through the support email addresses they show on their website? All I get (to all 6 addresses) is Google bounce mails, as ATI-AMPs seems to have set up their support mail as google groups, and external senders being not permitted to post to these groups. I tried both from a 'german' as well as gmail account. They may block my address because of the sender ip range, though...? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Pete Naples Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1565 From: Dunfermline, Scotland Registered: Feb 2001 posted 04-16-2018 04:59 PM                     Carsten, It's not your IP range.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-17-2018 07:48 AM                     so...do you know what it is, or what's going on there? I also tried their web based contact form, also stating my problems with their published email addresses. So far, no reply... - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 04-17-2018 05:18 PM                     I'm going to see Dan Taylor at Cinema Con next week, I'll be sure to mention the web site and email inconsistencies.  |  IP: Logged Marcel Birgelen Film God Posts: 3357 From: Maastricht, Limburg, Netherlands Registered: Feb 2012 posted 04-17-2018 06:22 PM                     I've also tried to contact them by mail, to no avail. While my inquiry isn't of a high priority, the fact that mail seems to bounce doesn't really inspire any confidence into their continuity. Maybe convince him about the fact that the flakiness of their web-presence and e-mail availability isn't good for our confidence level. I guess since they've shown commitment to the cinema industry, we're still within their target audience?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-17-2018 06:31 PM                     I wasn't just trying addresses related to cinema business... If it was only ONE of their addresses, shit can happen. But ALL of them fail, even the most generic ones like 'sales@'... I mean, wouldn't anyone else be surprised that no emails are coming in? But IF they do receive some mails, what are the rules which to accept and which to bounce? The mechanism is managed by Google, but ATI probably sets some of these rules. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 04-18-2018 04:29 PM                     My attempt through the web contact form came through, and they sent me the current AP20/25 software release notes. But Steve, I guess, just like you, many people would love to see the datasatdigital website (and content) to be relaunched under ATI-AMP, so, looking forward to hear what Dan Taylor says. That website was defunct long before ATI took over Datasatdigital. Almost looked to me as if after a database crash they learned they lost the administration logins and no one felt inclined to reclaim them... - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Karim Benmachiche Film Handler Posts: 18 From: Lausanne, Vaud, Switzerland Registered: Oct 2018 posted 01-27-2019 05:19 PM                        Does anyone know is there are dealers for Datasat in Europe, except Cinemanext? The website does not list any dealers anymore... Mainly interested to know about Switzerland, Germany, France and maybe Italy. I tried to contact them directly, but it's still the same, the emails don't work, and no reply through the contact form... And Carsten, I tried to pm you about it specifically for Germany, but your inbox is full  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-27-2019 08:30 PM                     Hi Karim, oh,yes, unbelievable, my personal forum inbox was filled with 60 msgs... Try again. If I was to order an A25, I would probably try CinemaNext first, as usually, they have the volume to offer good pricing (and stock service parts if they become necessary). I guess you could also order from Videocation in Munich, or any other german integrator (e.g. Cine Project). A fellow cinema operator recently received their AP25-8ch incl. filmcard from CinemaNext, so it seems that ATI can still supply the film card. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged
