Audio over IP with maximum interoperability

• Dante(hardware implementation), to integrate with the widest range of audio-over-IP devices, up to 192 kHz.
• AES67(hardware implementation), interoperability with cinema servers, DCI amplifiers and Ravenna/AES67 equipment* (*Merging Technologies / Neumann). Up to 96 kHz.
• SMPTE ST 2110-30(hardware implementation). Compatible with broadcast audio environments. Up to 96 kHz.
• SFP ports compatible with 1G RJ45 copper transceivers and 1G LC fiber.

One processor. Three audio-over-IP technologies.

• DirectLink: dedicated, unmanaged AoIP network between AltitudeCi and amplifiers configured by default.
• Default configuration that isolates audio over IP from other network traffic (control and internet, for example) on 2 switched ports.
• Simplified architecture suited to Altitude + AoIP amplifier setups, without the need for managed networks that can be complex to deploy.
• This default configuration can be changed to fit your requirements.

3 network ports = flexibility in connectivity and configuration

• Port 1 has an RJ45 connector. Ports 2 and 3 have SFP cages compatible with 1G RJ45 copper and 1G LC fiber transceivers.
• Flexible configurations, from 3 switched ports to 3 isolated ports with audio-over-IP redundancy, including intermediate configurations.
• Discrete network On/Off commands to power the processor on and off remotely via the control network (out-of-band).

Hybrid output routing for maximum versatility

• Combine different output types: use analog, AES/EBU and Dante outputs simultaneously in the same system.
• Flexible output routing: each speaker channel can be routed to a different physical output type.
• Example configuration: AES/EBU outputs for the front speakers, analog for active subwoofers, and Dante for the surround/top speakers.
• The Optimizer corrects the different latencies. Timing and phase remain perfect.

Unlimited configurations / versatile inputs to connect all your sources

• Combine different inputs at once: consumer sources (Apple TV, consoles, Blu-ray, smart TVs) via HDMI, as well as a DCI server over AES/EBU and a Dante workstation.
• Instant recall: each source can be recalled immediately via the Trinnov App, the interface or, soon, the remote.
• Adapted playback: depending on the source, content can be played on some or all speakers, respecting the original format.
• Absolute versatility: different settings can be associated with each source recall.

A unique listening environment whatever the media

• A single listening system for all consumer, professional and cinema sources.
• A single speaker layout, with several possible configurations to suit the source content.
• Full control of the reproduction chain: easy comparison of different content in the same venue, without perceptual bias.
• Time saving: no need to travel to different venues to check how content translates.

Typical uses:

• DCP 5.1/7.1: 16 ch AES/EBU
• DCP Atmos: 32/64 ch AES67
• Broadcast: 32/64 ch ST 2110-30
• DAW Atmos: 32/64 ch Dante
• ATV/BR/PS5: Atmos via DD+ / TrueHD over HDMI
• Smart TV: Atmos via DD+ / HDMI eARC

One processor for all your content

• The Altitude can replace up to 3 existing pieces of equipment.
• Universal connectivity: whether analog, digital or over the network, the Altitude can connect to many amplifiers and speakers.

Consumer sources: all codecs with Trinnov performance

• Exclusive in-house implementation of the consumer decoders for Dolby Atmos®, DTS:X Pro®, Auro-3D® and IMAX Enhanced®.
• Decoding and upmixing up to the maximum layouts of the codecs (24.1.10 for Dolby Atmos), with total freedom in channel assignment.
• Spatialization, immersion and bass control exclusive to Trinnov: Optimizer™, WaveForming™, Remapping™.

New user-oriented interface

• Easy access: updates, configuration, calibration and results analysis in one place, via the Trinnov App.
• Faster results: the setup assistant shortens the learning curve, minimizes errors and allows a successful calibration in a short time.
• Detailed analysis: speaker positions, speaker and subwoofer response curves.
• Accessible settings: optimization parameters organized by theme for effective, personalized fine-tuning.
• Unified experience: identical user interface across all new-generation Trinnov processors (Nova, AltitudeCi).

Optimizer™ technology: improved speaker-room coupling

• Acoustic optimization: with a single measurement, the system automatically calculates consistent amplitude, phase and impulse responses across all speakers and subwoofers, as well as time and level alignment.
• Overall improvement in audio quality: precision in sound source localization, stability of the sound image, realism of immersion, better tonal balance and better integration between speakers and subwoofers.
• Flexible and versatile: adapts to all types and sizes of listening rooms.
• Exclusive 3D microphone: provides precise speaker location information, allowing sound sources to be virtually repositioned when the layout is not ideal.

Respect for listening standards: built-in target curves

• Standardized target curves: reference curves, such as the SMPTE ST 202 curve (X-Curve) or the Dolby Atmos Music curve, can be loaded instantly.
• Custom target-curve libraries: an unlimited number of target curves can be saved to suit all listening conditions.
• Target-curve versatility: front, surround and top speakers and subwoofers can each have different target curves.

Matrix bass management: adapts to all content

• Bass management matrix: the content of the different main channels can be redirected to any other speaker or subwoofer in the system.
• Optimized reconstruction at the crossover frequency: recalculated with every parameter change, to obtain the most accurate response possible at the crossover point.
• Different configurations to suit the nature of the content: bass management for the surround speakers only for DCI content, or for all speakers for consumer content.

WaveForming™ technology: absolute bass control

• Active acoustics device for low-frequency control: combined with the WaveForming algorithm, at least 4 ideally placed subwoofers can act as active bass traps.
• Substantial improvements in low-frequency decay-time control with less ringing. Better consistency across the listening area. The entire audible spectrum is transformed, with better intelligibility and micro-details revealed.

TRINNOV EXCLUSIVE: quality control of content exported in Dolby Atmos

• Instant comparison between a Dolby Atmos master and its MP4 export intended for consumers.
• Checking of the reduction in the number of objects, their movement and velocity, to ensure your immersive mixes translate properly.
• Exclusive tool, unique on the market, improving quality and efficiency.
