Introduction The DaySequerra UpMix renders any two channel audio source (stereo, matrix encoded stereo or LtRt) as surround sound. Because UpMix renders sound independently of the transport environment, it will compliment analog, digital, linear or compressed mediums. Using the DTS Neural Audio process, UpMix can simultaneously position individual elements within a rich surround field creating unparalleled image stability and realistic granularity.
Installation Immediately upon receiving your UpMix, please make a careful inspection for any shipping damage. If damage is found or suspected, please notify the carrier at once and then contact your dealer. UpMix is shipped in one carton, which contains: the UpMix unit, an AC power cable and this Users Manual. We strongly encourage you to save the shipping carton and shipping materials supplied with your UpMix.
Front Panel Meters INPUT LEVELS - Six 10-segment multi-colored LED meters display the audio level for each channel of the inbound audio stream. OUTPUT LEVELS - Six 10-segment multi-colored LED meters display the audio level for each channel of the up-mixed audio stream. Status Indicators AES LOCK - Green LED indicator illuminates when UpMix has acquired a valid AES3 digital input signal. AES ERROR - Red LED indicator illuminates when UpMix has lost or has received an invalid AES3 digital input signal.
Rear Panel AES INPUTS - Three 75Ω BNC connectors will accept an AES3 digital audio stream. AES OUTPUTS - Four 75Ω BNC connectors output the up-mixed AES3 digital audio stream. AES SYNC - Two 75Ω BNC connectors that allow UpMix to receive an AES REF or DARS clock signal from an external source and pass it on to other devices in the same stack. The AES-3id-1995/SMPTE 276M standard dictates a 75Ω unbalanced connection and requires proper termination.
Input 1: Voltage detected on this input will cause UpMix to go into pass-though operating mode. Input 2: Voltage detected on this input will have UpMix take the input signal and up mix it into 5.1 surround. Input 3: Unused. Input 4: Unused. NETWORK - Used to update UpMix’s firmware. To connect directly to a PC without use of a network switch or hub, a crossover cable is required. Firmware updating is accomplished via UDP Port 44600. PSU 1 / PSU 2 - Two IEC320 ports to connect to AC Mains.
Home Screen Figure 2. Home Screen on UpMix. When you power on UpMix, if there are no errors, the display should look similar to the one pictured above. Each field is dynamic and will show status or current selected settings. 1. Currently selected surround width (Located on SETTINGS menu). May also display current fault status over fields 1 and 2. 2. Currently selected surround depth (Located on SETTINGS menu). May also display current fault status over fields 1 and 2. 3.
