Exactly!

Via the Trinnov Facebook page, you can register for their Altitude CI Webinar, starting at 4.00pm CET (3.00pm GMT) on 24th February, hosted by Dave Meyerowitz.

There's a separate USA Webinar on the same date at 4.00pm EST, hosted by Jon Herron.

A 'greyed out' Altitude CI User Manual has appeared on the Trinnov website.

That is, you cannot yet download it - but selecting the icon reveals user instructions.

No such User Manual was included with my purchase.

With the Altitude CI Trinnov have said that they are moving to an on-line manual rather than having a printable pdf version as they had in the past.

I believe that this is so that they can adjust and add information more easily as the product/platform develops.

The Altitude CI Manual is no longer greyed out - linked to multi-product set-up/user instructions (but not to a specific/dedicated CI user manual).

Have you made any progress with the Atmos install?

'"I have a cunning plan".

Today's European Altitude CI Webinar was a very useful summary on the unit's overall potential.

Q3 2026 is the target for Altitude16/32 owners to download the new interface.

The present CI is 'limited' to 24 channels at up to 192khz - but they are working on expanding this to all 32 channels.

The CI user decides whether to choose 48, 96, or 192khz resolution processing, dependent on the source material. You cannot mix and match resolutions. Choose one only.

Roon certification is expected soon. If you want multi-channel Roon, your Roon server needs to be connected to the CI via HDMI.

They are working on 2 channels/stereo waveforming on the CI - using 4 or 6 Subs. That is, 2.4 or 2.6 stereo configuration.

The latest Codecs on the CI have faster response times, without the lag switching between formats previously endured. This will trickle across to the Altitude16/32.

Unlike the CI, Altitude 16/32 will not get the same comprehensive AES67/Dante/Ravanna board as there isn’t sufficient room inside. So, when the 16/32 upgrade eventually becomes available, it will only be AES67.

It is not that one chooses the internal resolution for processing, what was being talked about was that if the Dante output is used, it is that output that has to be set to operate at a particular set resolution to match the Dante capabilities of the receiving equipment.

In the case of Meridian, the AES/EBU output is the most relevant and does not have the same constraints.

I didn't hear it that way. Sure, Meridian DSPs wouldn't be set at more than 96khz, but we are not restricted to 48khz if the source material warrants it.

Equally, Meridian owners can simply set the resolution at 96khz and forget about it. It won't upsample from 48khz, but if the source material is, say, 96 kHz, then the processor won't default to 48khz (like Storm|Audio's implementation of AES/EBU).

Most Cinema releases are at 48khz, so that material will just pass through at that resolution, even if you set it to 96 kHz.

The Altitude CI Launch (Zoom) Webinar is now available to watch - but you need a passcode to view it.
