Cutting Edge Operating System and Processors

Main System Processor:

  • The XMC-2 is controlled by our own proprietary Linux-based operating system, and by several powerful DSP engines, each running custom software code.
  • The main control functions on the XMC-2 are handled by a Texas Instruments AM-1808 Sitara Arm9 32 bit 375MHz processor.

Video Processing:

Emotiva Xmc 1 V3

  • The XMC_2 is a pure video switch; video inputs are switched directly to the appropriate output without any unnecessary processing. Video switching on theXMC-2 is handled by three Panasonic MN864788 High Speed LSI 4k UHD Video Switches.

Audio Processing:

  • All audio decoding and post processing is handled by twin Analog Devices, dual-core, 450 MHz DSP engines.
  • Audio digital-to-analog conversion is performed by AKM AK4490 Verita DACs (operating in fully balanced Mono mode on the front three channels; fully balanced stereo mode for the remaining channels).

Emotiva Xmc 1 V2

I am really tempted to get the Pre/Pro for use in 2 channel and surround in my favorite family room. I have a Yamaha DSP A1 that has served me well for many years and I still feel it is better than most other options out there currently. I like all of the XLR outputs for connections to different amplifiers, I also like all of the HDMI inputs (although Amirm's recent paper has shown HDMI to be less than stellar). I also want to do room correction and this would solve that without additional items to buy. My question to the group, does anyone have any experience with this or the bigger RMC-1?
