WELCOME

 

 

 

 

 

Thank You and Congratulations on Becoming a Cinema 11v Owner!

 

 

We at Cary Audio Design would like to thank you for purchasing the new Cinema 11v HD Video 

Processor. The Cinema 11v will elevate the quality of your experience with your home audio and 
video system by acting as an intelligent central switching hub and video processor. When your 
audio/video source devices connect to your high-definition television and audio/video receiver, 

switching from one component to another will become smooth and seamless. 

 

Most home audio/video systems consist of many independent components. The task of 

connecting, configuring, optimizing and operating the system is left to the user. The Cinema 
11v makes that headache a thing of the past. 

 

Quite a unique product, the Cinema 11v helps simplify your system’s interconnections while 
delivering both ease of use and world class video processing to your high- definition television. 
The more components your system has, the more you benefit from the simplicity and 

performance the Cinema 11v delivers. 

 

The Cinema 11v is based on the Genesis FLI30436 video processing chip. The FLI30436 chip 

offers highly advanced, dual-channel applications of Picture-in-Picture (PIP) and Picture-by-Picture 
(PBP). Two video decoders with 3D comb filters and two channels of DCDi® processing provide 
the highest quality picture for a two-channel application. 

True 10-bit performance throughout the device, an Advanced Color Management (ACM- 
3D), and a DDR memory with enhanced picture data capacity provide an exceptionally high 

level of video quality. The Cinema 11v’s integrated Analog Front End (AFE) includes two Triple 
analog to digital converters and two Faroudja® Intellicomb™ 3D comb filters. 

 

The Cinema 11v features dual HDMI output connectors. This configuration delivers optimal 
performance and ease of use in a system enjoying both two digital displays and two audio/video 
receivers simultaneously. The Cinema 11v communicates with your display to obtain its preferred 

format, then automatically adjusts its processing to match the display’s preferred format. 
Similarly, it communicates with your audio/video receiver to learn its audio capabilities, then 

combines display information and communicates EDID (extended display information data) 
capability back to the source components thus providing optimized output. The Cinema 11v can 
manage your system automatically, or 

if you prefer, you can manually control your system through the Cinema 11v. Either way, the 
Cinema 11v makes life easier. 

 

The  Cinema  11v  was  designed  to  remain  viable  in  a  future  of  rapidly  emerging  and 
changing digital technologies. Its rear panel RS-232 serial port connector allows for home 
automation serial control as well as flash memory upgrades. 

 

We at Cary Audio Design firmly believe in high performance products that offer an incredible 

value for the money. With its leading edge technology, exceptional picture performance, and ease 
of use, the Cinema 11v is without question the highest performing HD video processor available 

today. 

 

Thank you for your continued support. Enjoy your music and movies!
