Trinnov Unveils AltitudeCI: Scalable Audio over IP for Every Project

With dual-native AES67 and Dante support; 8 to 32-channels; and exclusive Trinnov technology, AltitudeCI has the flexibility for any premium audio application

Paris, France, and East Hampton, Connecticut, USA – August 26, 2025 – Trinnov Audio today announces the release of AltitudeCI, a fully networked, Audio-over-IP (AoIP) processor designed specifically for the custom integration (CI) market. Scalable, flexible, and compact, AltitudeCI delivers premium immersive audio for projects ranging from high-end media rooms to DCI-grade private cinemas.

“AltitudeCI makes Trinnov performance available to more projects than ever before,” said Arnaud Laborie, Trinnov Audio Co-Founder and CEO. “This is the one platform integrators can rely on for every immersive audio project, regardless of scale, infrastructure, or performance demands.”

AltitudeCI is the first processor in its class to offer native support for both Dante® and Ravenna®/AES67, offering seamless compatibility across consumer and professional audio infrastructures. This “best of both worlds” architecture enables direct integration with Dolby Atmos® and DCI servers via AES67, while managing output through Dante without the need for external converters.

AltitudeCI brings Trinnov’s renowned performance within reach for a wider range of premium installations than ever before: it introduces a modular licensing model that allows integrators to specify channel count in 2-channel increments. AltitudeCI is available in configurations from 8 to 32 channels,  with a custom 64-channel version arriving in 2026. Upgrades can be activated remotely via Trinnov’s extranet, maximizing long-term flexibility.

Exclusive Acoustics Technology

AltitudeCI includes Trinnov’s full suite of proprietary active acoustics technologies, including:

  • Optimizer™: 3D room and speaker correction system that precisely calibrates phase, EQ, level, and delay.
  • WaveForming™: Trinnov’s groundbreaking low-frequency optimization tool that actively eliminates room modes for impactful bass and unprecedented seat-to-seat consistency.
  • Remapping™: Ensures accurate immersive format rendering, even in acoustically or architecturally compromised rooms.

These technologies are delivered via Trinnov’s exclusive software-based platform with 64-bit floating-point processing: powerful architecture that enables exceptional audio fidelity and future-ready expansion potential.

Rack-Efficient Design and Simplified Setup

AltitudeCI is built with installers in mind. The streamlined 2RU chassis includes eight analog outputs, ideal for active subwoofer, or WaveForming™ applications or 7.1 systems. HDMI support (4 in, 2 out) ensures compatibility with matrix-based video systems. AltitudeCI also has three independently configurable Ethernet ports, including two with SFP cages, supporting robust network architectures with separated or redundant control, audio, and service traffic.

System setup has been streamlined as well: The newly redesigned Altitude user interface features a guided calibration workflow, making Trinnov’s powerful tuning tools more user-friendly while preserving expert-level control. 

Power Couple: AltitudeCI and Amplitude16 with Dante

To complete the AoIP ecosystem, Trinnov now offers an optional Dante input board for the award-winning Amplitude16 multichannel amplifier. This addition enables end-to-end AoIP signal flow—from processor to amplifier.

The input board uses the same high-performance DACs architecture as the Altitude line, preserving signal integrity and achieving exceptional dynamic range. The Amplitude16 features an inherently quiet design, unequalled by commercial AoIP amplifiers but essential for high-performance audio applications. Together, AltitudeCI and Amplitude16 form a fully digital, networked signal chain in just 5RU, delivering audiophile-grade performance with maximum rack efficiency.

Discover the AltitudeCI at CEDIA Expo 

Trinnov will debut the AltitudeCI at CEDIA Expo 2025 in Denver, Colorado, September 4–6. Attendees are invited to experience the AltitudeCI at the Trinnov High Performance Audio room (HPA208), with live demos, full system tours, and one-on-one partner consultations.

Trinnov will also offer a free training session on AltitudeCI on September 3 at 2:00 PM MT. Seating is limited to 50 participants; attendees can reserve a spot by registering on Trinnov’s dedicated CEDIA webpage.

AltitudeCI will ship in Q4 2025.

madVR Reinventing Subtitle Display – Introducing DSO!

Subtitles continue to gain popularity—not just for hearing assistance, but also for clearer comprehension of complex storylines, catching subtle dialogue, and understanding foreign films or accents. Yet they often cause frustration due to being unreadable or cut off in the black bars, glaringly bright, oversized, and so distracting that they can ruin the immersion of a movie.

Enter madVR Labs’ Dynamic Subtitle Overlay (DSO)—a patent-pending breakthrough that seamlessly activates to move subtitles into the active content area on scope screens whenever they appear even partially in the black bars—without shrinking the image.

Once activated, DSO can intelligently match subtitle brightness to the scene, reduce their size to obstruct less of the image, and adapt their color to blend with the scene’s palette. The result is a more harmonious, integrated, and truly cinematic viewing experience—free from the typical distractions of subtitles.

To understand why this is an issue and how DSO works to solve it, check out our new paper:

DSO is coming soon to the Core Premium, Envy Pro, and Envy Extreme as a free update—don’t miss these two A/B comparison images below, followed by the videos!

Example of DSO in action: subtitles automatically moved out of the bottom black bar, reduced in size, and adjusted in brightness and color to blend harmoniously with the scene—all while ensuring exceptional readability.

🎥 Check out the videos below from our sneak peek reveal at Audio Advice Live 2025, where hundreds of enthusiasts, dealers, and distinguished members of the press experienced DSO firsthand. Hear their impressions and watch DSO transform the way subtitles are displayed for a more seamless, enjoyable and immersive experience.

Robert Kozel, Co-Editor-in-Chief of Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity, shares his impressions about Dynamic Subtitle Overlay.

Carl, a die-hard home theater enthusiast, has never been a fan of subtitles—too intrusive, too bright. You might be surprised by his reaction—catch it in the video.
