9066 Functional Description
1-14 9066 PRODUCT MANUAL 9066-OM (V4.5)
The examples in Figure 1-6 show the automatic enable/disable up-mixing
function applied to example selected channels
Emb Ch 1 thru Emb Ch 6 . As
shown and described, the processing is contingent upon the signal levels of
the channels selected to carry the new 5.1 upmix relative to the selected
threshold (in this example, -60 dBFS). Note also that this function is applied
after the Audio Routing/Gain Control function. Because all audio inputs pass
through the Audio Routing/Gain Control function before the up mixer, the up
mixer can use embedded, AES discrete, and/or analog audio sources.

With all detected signal levels on
Emb Ch 3 – Ch 6 below
threshold, upmixer is active and
overwrites with new 5.1.

Because the selected channels are
already carrying viable content,
upmixing is bypassed, allowing the
six original Emb Ch 1 – Ch 6 to pass
unaffected.
With any detected signal levels
on Emb Ch 3 – Ch 6 above
threshold, upmixer is bypassed.

channels (in this example, Emb Ch 7 thru Ch
16) are not involved in this process and always
pass unaffected.
