Processing runs on a quad core ARM platform designed in house, and the measured figures read like a two channel DAC rather than a cinema processor.

Four things to be clear on. HDMI is 2.0b at 18Gbps, so 4K60 and Dolby Vision are covered but 8K60 and 4K120 are not. DTS:X is decoded to 12 channels and DTS:X Pro, which would take it to 16, is licensed but not in the initial release. There are no digital audio outputs at all. And there is no amplification, so budget for sixteen channels of it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePro Tip:\u003c\/b\u003e Active Room Treatment works by using the speakers you already have as active absorbers, so the more channels you actually populate the more it has to work with. A full 9.1.6 gets considerably more out of ART than a 5.1.2, which is worth knowing before you decide how many amplifier channels to buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd
