The Trinnov Audio Altitude16 is a high-end, software-defined immersive home-cinema AV processor and preamplifier. It provides Trinnov Optimizer room correction, flexible speaker-layout management, bass management, multiway active crossover capability, and decoding or upmixing for Dolby Atmos, DTS:X Pro, Auro-3D/Auromatic, IMAX Enhanced, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and related formats. The processor has 16 balanced analog XLR outputs and can render up to 20 discrete channels with the applicable software expansion, making it suitable for large immersive cinema systems and active loudspeaker installations. It is a preamp/processor only and requires external power amplifiers. Trinnov’s current product information lists a newer HDMI 2.1 revision with 8K/60 and 4K/120 support; earlier Altitude16 hardware and documentation used HDMI 2.0b, 18 Gbps, and 4K/60 connectivity. Therefore, exact video specifications depend on the hardware revision and installed upgrades.
