UpCon remote control
UpCon English Manual (2014-10-07) 65
“SMPTE2020 Detected” display
Can only be displayed when the Detecting pa-
rameter is set to Any SMPTE2020. Indicates that
UpCon is receiving valid SMPTE2020 metadata
packages.
“Ch.Mode x/xx Detected” display
Can only be displayed when the Detecting pa-
rameter is set to Ch. Mode 2/0. Indicates that
UpCon is receiving valid Channel Mode (AC-
MOD) values (x/xx) in the SMPTE2020 metadata
packages. The actual incoming Channel Mode
(ACMOD) value will show up formatted as “x/xx”
according to the SMPTE2020 standard.
Examples of Channel Mode (ACMOD) values “x/
xx”: “2/0” (stereo, the only value forcing the Up-
Con to upconvert), “3/2L” (5.1 surround, the Up-
Con processes audio as specified by the Engine
preset).
Current Processing display
This field display the status of the current audio
processing in the UpCon. Remote/metadata-
triggered behavior is described here.
In the messages listed below, “Ex” specifies
what Engines are affected by the remote control,
and this relates to the Engines parameter – see
“Engines parameter” on page 64.
“Normal” display
UpCon is processing audio according to the En-
gine preset.
“Ex Format Off” display
Can only be displayed when the Detecting pa-
rameter is set to Any SMPTE2020. Indicates that
valid metadata are being detected and have in-
structed UpCon to bypass Format processing
(either UpCon or Downmix) specified by the En-
gine preset.
“Ex UpCon” display
Can only be displayed when the Detecting pa-
rameter is set to Ch. Mode 2/0. Indicates that
valid metadata (Channel Mode = “0/2”) are be-
ing detected and have force upconversion from
stereo to 5.1 specified by the Engine preset, dis-
regarding any audio on the incoming C, LFE, Ls
and Rs channels.
SDI metadata on the SDI output
The UpCon does not change any metadata on
its output – so incoming SDI metadata are by-
passed to the SDI output.
More information about the SDI standard and
how metadata are formatted can be found in
standard SMPTE 2020.
