Features
Powerful Production Engines
Two production engines implemented in 4RU and 8RU frames, enable Acuity to eliminate I/O limitations and add new levels of internal processing power and signal management capability. SD, HD, 3G and 4K production are all easy to achieve within these two processing engines.
Output Transitions
The Acuity Production Switcher’s design brings independent mixing and keying capability to auxiliary bus outputs.
Facility-Grade MultiViewers
With flexible ME/MultiViewer resources, and input MultiViewers on optional MultiProcessing input cards, Acuity can be the single monitoring hub for your entire facility. Benefit from huge reductions in wiring, external routing, and signal distribution systems – for a cost-effective monitoring workflow.
MultiFeed Split MEs
Acuity’s MultiFeed technology allows each ME to be split into 2 MES, each with independent control.
MultiFeed Configurable Outputs
MultiFeed provides the configurable output power you need for multiple feeds with different branding/captioning requirements or to drive on-stage displays – all from a single ME.
Tremendous DVE Resources
Acuity delivers a new level of DVE resources in a single ME to create incredible composite “box shots”.
Future-Proof
Modular I/O Cards
Acuity engines are built with a modular input and output matrix, to easily swap in unique I/O cards that build upon the Acuity feature set. All these cards are compatible with each other on a single chassis and allow you to customize your Acuity switcher to serve as a hybrid-IP switcher, a signal-processing hub, or a 12G-capable UHD switcher.
12G MultiProcessing Module
The definitive choice for a 12G SDI single-link facility, the multiprocessing module provides several benefits during an HD-to-UHD migration:
- 12G Connector on Every Fourth Input – Up to 15 (4RU) or 30 (8RU) 12G can be added to the Acuity engines.
- Complete Video Processing on Every Input – Every connector in the input module has dedicated processing amplifiers and color correctors, guaranteeing a consistent look amongst sources and freeing up internal switcher resources.
- Handles Any Signal, Format and Range – Every multiprocessing Input Module is built with frame synchronizers, format converters, SDR to HDR converters, Level B to Level A converters, and UHD Quad to 2SI converters.
- Additional Monitoring on Every Card – Every input module is built with a 20 input MultiViewer that can be sent to any output in the system or be included in other video processor based MultiViewers.

The Control Update
Acuity Version V9.1
Available for download Fall 2019, the V9.1 software update makes it easier to control Acuity from a variety of control systems & interfaces:
Direct Ultritouch Integration
Acuity V9.1 introduces direct integration with the Ultritouch facility monitoring and control panel from Ross, providing Ultritouch with a purpose-built AUX Bus routing control panel that centralizes router and switcher AUX control into a single interface.
TSL Bus Messaging
Expansion of TSL Version 5 messaging from Acuity provides greater information to external control systems. Control systems can now identify what sources, keyers, and buses are active; allowing for more data analytics.
New OverDrive Features & Functionality
With V9.1 software, we’ve added a number of features and functionality requests that have come in from OverDrive / Acuity customer including:
- Independent ME Still Stores
- Improved display of attached Custom Controls via color schemes
- Additional supported PTZ Camera models: Sony BRC-1000 and JVC Cameras
- And many more!
Additional Lawo Ember+ Features
Lawo Ember+ audio consoles enjoy more control directly from the Acuity switcher, including audio gain control and advanced input control.
Expanding Knob Scroll Display
The little quality-of-life features matter, and this direct customer request had to do with viewing options in the scrolling lists/selectors in the Acuity menu display. With Expanding Knob Scroll Display users can set the size of the list/selector box to expand when scrolling through with the knobs, making it easier to see the available choices without having to squint their eyes!
DoubleDown Efficiency
Acuity DoubleDown panels are a premium option that doubles the number of key/aux bus assignment buttons for every ME row. This greatly accelerates the operation of large I/O systems in fast-paced productions, where shift functions to access mapped sources are undesirable.
