UpCon: An introduction

in need of processing multiple streams simulta-

neously.

Instructions on upgrading a base UpCon

with one or two Transmission 3G cards are

not part of this manual. They are provided in

a separate document that comes with the 3G

Transmission card.

UpCon presets

UpCon comes with ready-to-use presets based

on international standards. More presets will be

made available as part of software updates, and

from the TC website. These presets are based

on information from broadcasters around the

world.

If you feel that an important preset is missing or

that a given preset does not work as it should,

please get in touch with TC Electronic technical

support.

Serial digital interface (SDI)

With regards to inputs and outputs, UpCon is

based on the Serial digital interface (SDI) – a

family of audio and video interfaces standard-

ized by the Society of Motion Picture and Televi-

sion Engineers (SMPTE).

An SDI signal may contain up to sixteen audio

channels (8 pairs) at 48kHz sample rate and 24

bit resolution. We assume that you have a good

working knowledge of SDI. The standard as such

is not discussed in this manual.

UpCon features overview

– Audio at its finest: 24 bit transparent, fully

synchronous I/O, 32 bit and higher internal

processing.

– Automatic 5.1 detection: Automatically de-

tect and engage upconversion and down-mix.

– Ultra-low latency: No need for frame offset.

– Always have 5.1 and stereo: Regardless if

the input is 5.1 OR stereo, you can always

have 5.1 and stereo on the outputs.

– Artifact-free: Artifact-free crossfade between

bypass and upconversion.

– GPIO and SDI metadata: Engage format

conversion using GPIO or SDI metadata.

– SD/HD/3G SDI, Relay Bypass: Supports

latest SDI standards, up to 3G: 2.97 mBit/s,

1080p, 3D(2x1080i). Auto relay bypass.

– SNMP (Simple Network Management Pro-

tocol): SNMP trapping lets UpCon send out

messages (such as warnings) over Ethernet to

an SNMP application. Vice versa, UpCon can

be remote-controlled from an SNMP applica-

tion.

– True redundancy: No compromise, long term

field-tested PSUs. Dual inlets, dual fuses, dual

fans.

– Up to 24 audio channels simultaneously

processed and measured: With a fully load-

ed UpCon, up to 24 audio channels can be

processed simultaneously.

– 100BaseT Full-Duplex Ethernet: Standard

Ethernet control allows easy system integra-

tion. A second port is available for daisy-

chaining, allowing a high number of units on

one network.

– Bit transparent: Supports coded transmis-

sion like Dolby E or Dolby AC3.
