TC Electronic’s UpCon Hi-res Audio Upconverter
UpCon is a cinema-quality upconverter that gives broadcasters peace of mind that their transmission will always be optimized for 5.1 HD TV. UpCon is a combined audio upconversion and downmix processor in a single, high-density rack unit that continuously monitors the channel format of the incoming audio, and if the signal falls back from true 5.1 to stereo, it seamlessly cross-fades into a convincing 5.1 surround upconversion without adding any interruptions or artifacts. The unit uses TC’s UnWrap HD algorithm to upconvert with ultra low latency and without affecting the perceived loudness.
The hardware is based on the TC Electronic DB6 platform and UpCon offers the same extended control possibilities, including responding to incoming metadata.
