Integra, a leading manufacturer of home theater components designed specifically for the custom installer, is now shipping the THX Ultra2-certified DTC-9.8, a audio-video preamplifier/processor designed to meet the complex needs of system integrators and custom installers while providing state-of-the-art features and performance for the home theater enthusiast.
With a three-zone processor featuring HDMI v. 1.3a switching, HQV Reon-VX video processing, complete 7.1-channel processing including onboard decoding for lossless and HD audio formats, and an extensive suite of multizone/multisource and system integration control, the DTC-9.8 is Integra's new flagship processor.
"With processing and switching capabilities that allow installers to squeeze every possible bit of performance out of the latest HD audio and video sources, this will be a market-leading component," says Integra Director of Sales Keith Haas. "Add to that a remarkable combination of integration options, including Ethernet-based control compatibility and three-zone A/V distribution, and we believe there is nothing anywhere near this price point that can compete with the DTC-9.8."
According to Integra, the unit features four HDMI inputs and two outputs, and handles full 1080p and Deep Colorâ„¢ 36-bit video signals. Additionally, the controller includes the acclaimed Silicon Optix HQV Reon-VX onboard video processing, capable of scaling and transcoding all video source material to 1080p output over HDMI.
The DTC-9.8 is available now with an MSRP of $1,600. For more information, visit www.integrahometheater.com or call 800-225-1946.
