Setting up audio
22 UpCon
Follow In Group setting
The processed audio signals will be assigned to
the same audio channel groups at the SDI out-
put that were selected using the Audio Groups
selector. This is the default setting which is also
used when Advanced SDI mode has not been
activated.
Group 1+2 and Group 3+4 settings
The processed audio signals will be assigned to
the audio channel groups 1 and 2 or groups 3
and 4 at the SDI output.
If you are using this parameter to reassign audio
channels to other groups, make sure that you are
processing the right audio groups downstream.
Rate Detect Mode parameter
Use the Rate Detect Mode parameter to specify
how UpCon should behave when receiving SD,
HD and 3G signals. By narrowing the range of
formats acceptable to the UpCon, lock-up time
may be optimized.
Automatic setting
When you set the Rate Detect Mode parameter
to Automatic, UpCon will accept all SDI formats:
SD, HD and 3G. This is the default setting which
is also used when Advanced SDI mode has not
been activated.
SD only setting
When you set the Rate Detect Mode parameter
to SD, UpCon will only accept the SD format and
not consider locking to HD or 3G signals. This re-
sults in optimal lock-up time for SD signals.
HD only setting
When you set the Rate Detect Mode parameter
to HD, UpCon will only accept the HD format and
not consider locking to SD or 3G signals. This re-
sults in optimal lock-up time for HD signals.
3G only setting
When you set the Rate Detect Mode parameter
to 3G, UpCon will only accept the 3G format and
not consider locking to SD or HD signals. This
results in optimal lock-up time for 3G signals.
Stream 3G LevelB selection parameter
With 3G Level B SDI (SMPTE424M), 32 audio
channels in 8 audio groups are available via two
streams. Use the Stream 3G LevelB parameter to
select the stream that UpCon should de-embed/
embed audio from and to.
! Please note that when running 3G Level B,
data stream 1 and data stream 2 need to have
the same bit width so UpCon can de-embed
and process audio. I.e., both data streams
need to contain 8-bit data, or both data
streams need contain 10-bit data). If the bit
widths of the two data streams differ, UpCon
will not be able to de-embed and process au-
dio.
Stream 1 setting
The UpCon will de-embed and embed two of
the up to four available audio groups in stream
1. This is the default setting which is also used
when Advanced SDI mode has not been acti-
vated.
Stream 2 setting
The UpCon will de-embed and embed two of
the up to four available audio groups in stream 2.
Bypass Option parameter
Use the Bypass Option parameter to enable
manual overwrite of the SDI hardware bypass
relay. This option is useful for diagnostics pur-
poses.
If the Bypass option is enabled, a Bypass button
will be shown in the Advanced SDI Mode sec-
tion. Clicking the Bypass button will immediately
activate a hardware bypass of the SDI signal, al-
lowing it to pass through UpCon unprocessed.
If you set the Bypass Option parameter to dis-
abled, the SDI bypass relay can not be overwrit-
ten manually.
Setting up audio dithering
To set up audio dithering, go to Frame / Sys-
tem / I/O / Dither.
Use the Dither page to set up if and how audio
signals should be dithered.
