Overview

Trinnov Altitude32 20-Channel Reference Immersive Sound AV Processor

The Trinnov Altitude32 20-Channel brings Trinnov's flagship home-cinema processing platform to sophisticated immersive theaters requiring up to 20 discrete optimized channels, with 16 analog outputs plus four additional channels available through Trinnov's +4 Channels architecture.

Built around Trinnov's proprietary software-based processing platform rather than conventional fixed DSP architecture, the Altitude32 combines extraordinary processing power with Dolby Atmos, DTS Pro, Auro-3D, IMAX Enhanced, Trinnov Optimizer, WaveForming, patented 3D Remapping, advanced bass management, and extensive system configuration capabilities.

For serious private cinemas, Altitude32 isn't simply an AV processor. It is the platform around which the entire audio system can be designed and calibrated.

20 Discrete Optimized Channels

This Altitude32 configuration supports up to 20 discrete channels of decoding and Trinnov Optimizer processing.

The processor provides 16 analog outputs, with Trinnov's +4 Channels capability allowing four additional discrete channels to be delivered through AES/EBU digital outputs.

That provides tremendous flexibility for sophisticated immersive layouts and multi-subwoofer systems without immediately moving to one of the larger Altitude32 configurations.

Trinnov Optimizer

At the heart of Altitude32 is the Trinnov Optimizer, one of the most sophisticated loudspeaker and room optimization systems available.

Using Trinnov's proprietary 3D measurement technology, Optimizer analyzes the actual acoustic behavior and three-dimensional location of every loudspeaker in the room.

A trained calibrator can optimize frequency response, phase, impulse response, delays, levels, crossovers, bass management, and other critical system parameters.

Rather than simply applying automatic EQ, Optimizer provides the tools to integrate the speakers, subwoofers, electronics, seating positions, and room itself as one complete acoustic system.

Trinnov WaveForming

Altitude32 supports Trinnov WaveForming, Trinnov's advanced technology for controlling low-frequency behavior in properly designed multi-subwoofer theaters.

WaveForming approaches bass reproduction as part of the architecture of the room, using strategically positioned subwoofers and sophisticated processing to control how low-frequency energy propagates through the listening space.

When properly designed and calibrated, the result can be dramatically more consistent bass performance across multiple seating positions.

Patented 3D Remapping

Trinnov's exclusive 3D Remapping technology measures the actual distance, azimuth, and elevation of every loudspeaker.

When physical speaker locations differ from the locations intended by the soundtrack, Remapping can use adjacent speakers to reposition sounds within the listening environment.

This is particularly valuable in real-world theaters where architectural limitations don't always allow every speaker to be installed in a theoretically perfect location.

Advanced Bass Management

Altitude32 provides extraordinary flexibility for integrating multiple subwoofers.

This 20-channel configuration supports as many as 20 subwoofer channels, with flexible routing, crossover configuration, delay, level, and optimization capabilities.

Bass can be managed according to the needs of the actual room rather than being constrained by conventional processor layouts.

Dolby Atmos, DTS Pro & Auro-3D

Altitude32 supports today's major immersive-audio formats, including:

  • Dolby Atmos
  • DTS Pro
  • Auro-3D
  • IMAX Enhanced
  • Dolby Surround
  • DTS Neural
  • Auro-Matic

The Altitude32 platform supports virtually any speaker layout within the available channel count, giving theater designers enormous freedom when developing sophisticated immersive systems.

HDMI 2.1 – 8K/60 & 4K/120

Altitude32 provides eight HDMI inputs and two HDMI outputs with up to 40Gbps bandwidth.

Video capabilities include:

  • 8K/60Hz
  • 4K/120Hz
  • HDR10
  • HDR10+
  • Dolby Vision
  • HLG
  • ARC / eARC
  • HDCP 2.3

Software-Based Architecture

One of Altitude32's defining advantages is its software-based architecture.

Rather than relying on conventional fixed-function DSP chips, Altitude32 runs TrinnovOS on an Intel multi-core processing platform.

This architecture has allowed Trinnov to continually expand Altitude's capabilities through software and hardware upgrades, helping protect one of the most important components in a high-end cinema from premature obsolescence.
