Full control, intuitive ease
From naturally extracted and expanded soundscapes to full cinematic big-stage enhancement, Halo Upmix delivers all the control you need to fine-tune your surround mix to perfection. With unique centre channel management, including switchable dialog extraction, Halo Upmix is perfect for all types of production from archive restoration and TV through to the full 7.1 feature film experience.
An optional 3D extension adds Dolby Atmos bed track (7.1.2) and Auro 3D (7.1.4) compatibility, and Ambisonic outputs.
The Halo Upmix algorithms produce a natural, coherent spatial upmix, preserving the character of the original audio without adding any artificial reverb, chorus or delays.
With the ‘Exact’ control engaged, Halo Upmix can be used with confidence that the original source integrity is precisely preserved in the downmix.
Natural extension
Powerful real-time analysis of the original stereo material identifies and extracts locational cues to naturally extend the panorama, leaving the inherent character of the original source intact.
Powerful spatial analysis
Halo also includes a powerful spatial analysis view, intuitively showing the energy distribution of the upmixed panorama. Colour can additionally be used to indicate the speaker source for audio in any position, clearly indicating cases including phantom vs hard centre predominance.
Downmix compatibility
Because Halo Upmix generates a coherent spatial sound, you can be assured of a high-quality downmix. The ‘exact’ mode function ensures ultimate downmix performance in situations where maintaining the relationship between the original, upmixed and downmixed versions is imperative, for example in TV repurposing.
For Television
With surround delivery requirements becoming more and more common, Halo Upmix can be indispensable. Providing sophisticated control including neural network powered dialog isolation Halo transforms time intensive workflows and improves output quality with ease.
For Film & Sound Design
Multiple instances in sound design and score work on synths, stereo FX archive and effects returns breath life and energy into the sound in ways that legacy delay and panning techniques can’t approach – all with a solid reasurrance of a highly downmix compatible result.
With optional Ambisonic format output, Halo Upmix is equally at home when working in a VR and game audio environment.
For Film & Sound Design
With powerful control accessing every dimension of the upmix, Halo is indispensable for upmixing original and vintage scores – right up to Dolby Atmos
