The nanoAVR is a 2-input HDMI 1.4a switch combined with a sophisticated digital audio signal processor (DSP).
The onboard floating-point SHARC processor combined with miniDSP’s signature audio processing and user
interface software allows real time tuning and mixing of eight channels of uncompressed linear PCM (LPCM)
audio.
In its most typical application, the nanoAVR connects between an HDMI source such as a Blu-ray player and an
A/V receiver, providing an unmatched level of audio tuning flexibility for home theater applications. The second
HDMI input allows connection of other devices such as media streaming devices, gaming consoles, computer-
based media players, and so on. Video from the selected input is switched directly to the output, with no video
processing applied to the signal.
The diagram below illustrates a typical usage of the nanoAVR. In this example, a Blu-ray or DVD player is
connected to HDMI input 1 and a streaming media player to HDMI input 2. The HDMI output is connected to an
A/V receiver, which in turn drives the display device and powers a suite of loudspeakers and a subwoofer.
Computer connectivity (not shown in this diagram) is used to configure the audio processing parameters of the
nanoAVR. Up to four complete configuration presets can be stored on the nanoAVR. Once configured, the
computer is no longer needed and the presets can be recalled from the front panel or by an infrared remote.
