In t r o d u ct io n 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.
Ty p ica l Ap p lica t io n s Here are some examples that describe some typical applications where you might use UpMix. Ra d io Pr o d u ct io n St u d io UpMix allows production engineers to render mono or stereo content into surround. The mix can be broadcasted on a compatible medium.
In st a lla t io n 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, two AC power cables and this Users Manual. We strongly encourage you to save the shipping carton and shipping materials supplied with your UpMix.
Fr o n t Pa n e l Ba r g r a p h M e t e r s 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.
Re a r Pa n e l 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. 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 audio signal and up-mix it into 5.1 surround. Input 3: Unused at this time. Input 4: Unused at this time. 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.
M e t e r Disp la y Figure 1. Metering display UpMix. INPUT LEVELS – LED display shows current amplitude of input signal from -60dB to 0dB across all active channels. Unused channels will not light the display. L - Left (AES Input 1) R - Right (AES Input 2) C - Center (AES Input 3) OUTPUT LEVELS – LED display shows current amplitude of signal generated by UpMix across all active channels.
Ho m e Scr e e n Figure 2. Home Screen on UpMix. UpMix has been designed with ease of use in mind. Most of the common settings are available for modification right on the home screen. While the unit is at this screen, press the HOME key to invoke home screen selection mode; a selection box will appear.
Pr o g r a m m in g M e n u If AC line power is lost or momentarily interrupted, UpMix will revert to its previous state. To enter the programming menu, turn the rotary encoder in any direction while at the HOME screen. The ENTER key will enter the currently selected sub menu or enter the value mode for the selected option. A press of the BACK key will navigate to the previous menu level or revert the current value to its last stored state.
M e n u Fu n ct io n s a n d De scr ip t io n s While at the home screen, and not in home screen selection mode, rotate the encoder in any direction to enter the menu. From this screen you may navigate to the rest of the menu by selecting SYSTEM MENU. Also displayed are keylock controls and channel audio adjustments. Selecting KEYLOCK from this menu will lock the front panel controls of the unit immediately.
Ne t w o r k M e n u UpMix has several configurable network settings. All of the UpMix network settings are password protected. The password to change the network settings is upmix123. Please take note when entering the password that the UpMix password is case sensitive. UpMix is configured to take a DHCP address by default. Device Name: Allows you to change UpMix‟s name as reported to DNS.
Ala r m s M e n u All alarms are disabled by default at the factory. To take advantage of this function, the desired settings need to be enabled. AES Lock: Allows the AES Lock alarm to be suppressed. PSU Alarm: Allows the Power Supply alarm to be suppressed. Ab o u t M e n u Model Number: Displays the model number of the unit. Serial Number: Displays the serial number of this unit. Hardware Rev: Displays the hardware revision level of this unit.
Fir m w a r e Up d a t e Provided that you have completed warranty registration for your UpMix on our website, we will notify you as new firmware updates become available. The notification will contain the announcement of new firmware, issues corrected, and instructions on how to retrieve the update files.
