Description

The Trinnov AltitudeCI is a next-generation immersive audio processor purpose-built for custom integration. It brings the core innovations of Trinnov’s renowned Altitude platform into a scalable, network-ready format designed for everything from high-end residential media rooms to DCI-grade private cinemas and post-production spaces. Supporting up to 32 discrete output channels (expandable to 64 via build-to-order models in 2026), AltitudeCI combines Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, Auro-3D, and IMAX Enhanced decoding with Trinnov’s own proprietary Optimizer™, Remapping™, and WaveForming™ technologies for unmatched spatial precision and clarity.

What sets the AltitudeCI apart is its deep integration flexibility and networked audio architecture. With native Dante® and AES67 support, up to 32 input/output channels over AoIP, and no need for optional I/O cards or external converters, AltitudeCI simplifies even the most complex installations. All inputs like analog, AES/EBU, S/PDIF, or AoIP are treated independently, and any channel can be routed to any output type. It also features HDMI 2.1 connectivity with full 8K/60 and 4K/120 support, plus HDR10, Dolby Vision, and gaming-ready features like VRR and ALLM.
