Description

Featuring the name of Foundation 4K UHD, the most advanced home theater control electronics of one of the world's high-end sacred monsters, the Krell Foundation is catching up with sophisticated circuitry that allows it to handle all kinds Of ultra-high definition video content (UHD, ie 3.840x2.160 pixels), both cable and streaming, the latter option guaranteed by compatibility with the HDCP 2.2 copy protection system. For this, Krell engineers have switched from HDMI 1.4a to HDMI 2.0 four of the original HDMI 1.4a inputs of the original Foundation, as well as the two HDMI outputs, which in addition in the new platform are completely independent and therefore can show Simultaneously from two different sources. Another new feature built into the Foundation 4K UHD concerns the functionality of its on-screen display system, which now also displays status messages related to parameters such as volume level, selected source, video resolution and format Of audio. In the field of audio, the main novelty provided by the Foundation 4K UHD is its compatibility with DSD stereo and multichannel digital signals from any of its 10 HDMI inputs. Available playback options are embodied in DSD 2-ch Direct, DSD Stereo and DSD Multi modes, each of which has specific characteristics for optimum results. The Foundation 4K UHD also has the presence of "Intelligent HDMI switching", that is to say "Smart HDMI switching", thanks to a combination of software and hardware set up by the US firm, it is possible to optimize the operation of the whole environment HDMI connected to the device. ). The Foundation 4K UHD also includes modes for post-processing music and film developed by Krell, while it can be easily integrated into any custom system.
