The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-

insulated “dangerous voltages” within the product’s enclosure that may be of a sufficient level

to cause harm.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended

to alert the user to the presence of important

operating and maintenance instructions within the

product literature.

Exposed portions of the power supply assembly are

electrically live. To reduce risk of electric shock, the

power cord must be disconnected when the power

supply assembly is removed. For continued

protection against electric shock, a correctly wired

and grounded (earthed) three-pin power outlet must

be used. Do not use a ground-lifting adapter and

never cut the ground pin on the three-prong plug.

The ground terminal of the power plug is connected

directly to the chassis of the unit.

Int r oduct ion

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. This approach avoids taking “artistic license” with content by

placing audio exactly where it would be heard in a professional LEDE (Live End Dead End) listening

environment. For example, mono or pan-pot stereo will image in front of the listener on the center

channel, where stereo containing depth information will surround the listener using the full capabilities

of their surround decoder.

UpMix can be used as a stand-alone unit to monitor stereo production or in tandem with the

DaySequerra DownMix as a complete 5.1 transport solution. Surround content that has been encoded

by UpMix will be reproduced just as it was heard in the original 5.1 mix. UpMix is DSP based and will

never need calibration or alignment.

Op er a t ion al Diag r am

The diagram below shows an UpMix taking a two channel audio source, such as stereo, matrix

encoded stereo or LtRt, and creating a 5.1 channel surround mix using the proprietary DTS Neural

Audio process.

The surround mix produced from the input content is fully immersive to the listener when played

through a 5.1 monitor system.

Ty pical Ap plicat ions

Here are some examples that describe some typical applications where you might use UpMix.

Rad io Pr od uct ion St udio

UpMix allows production engineers to render mono or stereo content into surround. The mix can be

broadcasted on a compatible medium. When used in conjunction with DownMix, UpMix will allow the

engineer to render a watermarked (LtRt) two channel audio source back into its original surround

content.

St e r eo Television Mast er Cont r ol

Another application of UpMix is in a stereo television master control room setup. UpMix allows

rendering of original mono or stereo content into surround. The surround mix can then be sent to an

encoder and later combined video to have a complete HD broadcast.

Inst allat ion

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. They are specially designed to properly protect your UpMix, and in the event that you need to

return it for service, only these OEM shipping materials can ensure its safe return to our factory.

We provide a limited 1-year warranty on all of our products; however, if you don‟t register your unit, it is

impossible for us to contact you to notify you when important software upgrades become available.

Please take a few minutes to complete the warranty registration form on our website,

www.daysequerra.com.

Rack Mount Inst allat ion

The UpMix chassis has four rack mounting holes and has been designed to fit in a standard 1RU

space. Plastic „finishing‟washers are recommended to protect the painted surface around the mounting

holes. Locate the air vents on each side of the unit, and be sure to keep them clear so the unit may

have adequate ventilation.

Pow er Conne ct ion

The AC power cable supplied with UpMix must be connected from the IEC320 power entry module to

an AC mains outlet with a functional earth ground connection. For protection against electric shock and

electro-magnetic interference, do not plug the power cable into a ground lifting adapter or remove the

cable‟s grounding pin. If in doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.

UpMix is designed with redundancy in mind with two internal auto switching power supplies. Please

connect UpMix to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect against power surges and

low-voltage conditions. For maximum redundancy, connect each power supply to a separate UPS on

different power circuits. UpMix may be combined with other devices on the output of the UPS(es) as

long as the total load is within the UPS‟capacity. Consult your UPS manual for details.

UpMix will automatically power up when AC power is applied. If AC line power is lost or

momentarily interrupted, UpMix will revert to its previous state.

AES INPUTS - Three 75ΩBNC connectors will accept an AES3 digital audio stream.

AES OUTPUTS - Four 75ΩBNC connectors output the up-mixed AES3 digital audio stream.

AES SYNC - Two 75ΩBNC 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 75Ωunbalanced connection and requires

proper termination. The termination should occur at the destination of the signal (that is, on the

inputs to UpMix). If the loop-through BNC connectors are not feeding additional equipment,

terminate each of these with a standard 75Ωterminator. Like other inputs, AES SYNC signal

should be terminated.

GPIO – A Female DB-9 connection that allows UpMix to be monitored or controlled externally. Opto-

isolated inputs will be triggered by a voltage of 5VDC.
