FOUNDATION 4K UHD
SURROUND SOUND PROCESSOR
FEATURING HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 TECHNOLOGY
Page 2
The Foundation 4K UHD adds HDMI 2.0 and HDCP
2.2 technology to the award winning Foundation processor. Designed to be upgradeable, existing Foundation
processors can be upgraded to the Foundation 4K UHD
platform at the Krell facility.
The Foundation 4K UHD updates 4 of the 10 HDMI
inputs to HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 capability. On screen display functionality adds status messages including volume,
active source, video resolution and audio format. System
setup is accomplished from the front panel, on screen
menu, or a network tablet/computer.
Two HDMI video outputs are independent and can be
configured to send different video signals to two individual displays. Both outputs support 4K signals being
simultaneously displayed.
Both HMDI outputs feature Audio Return Channel
(ARC). With ARC, a display device is able to send audio
back down the HDMI cable to the Foundation 4K UHD.
Televisions with built-in web streaming capability like
Netflix or Pandora, can send the audio signal back to the
Foundation 4K UHD use the full home theater system
instead of just the TV's speakers.
Krell's Automatic Room Equalization System (ARES) ensures
the best possible performance from every theater. ARES analyzes the speakers in the system, their location, phase, and
distance from each other, to determine the best crossover
frequency, delay, and more. In addition, ARES analyzes the
room and creates unique EQ curves for each of the output
channels. Unlike other room EQs, ARES can be programmed
to only adjust the troublesome low frequencies, leaving high
frequencies unaltered.
Intelligent HDMI switching is a combination of circuitry and
innovative software that optimizes HDMI switching.
Parameters including the monitor's electronic ID and source
video resolution are stored in memory. All 10 source inputs
are always active so source, channel, video resolution, and
audio format changes are instantaneous. The Intelligent
HDMI design provides the fastest signal recognition possible.
The Foundation 4K UHD supports stereo and multichannel
DSD decoding via any of the 10 HDMI inputs.
Network connectivity brings convenience, setup, and operation from any smartphone, tablet, or laptop. Software
updates are initiated from the menu and are downloaded
from the Krell server.
