GPO setup example
► To signal UpCon Synchronization Status on
GPO relay 1 – see "Sync LED(s) – SDI ver-
sions" on page 25 –, set the GPO 1 param-
eter to "Sync LED".
►
If you set Idle State 1 to "Open", the GPO 1
relay...
– will be open as long as no synchroniza-
tion has been achieved and
– will close when synchronization has been
achieved.

Remote – SDI
UpCon can process SMPTE2020 metadata in
the incoming SDI stream.
Two different approaches are available: "Any
SMPTE2020" and "Ch. Mode 2/0" by using the
SDI Metadata license on a UpCon with SDI in-
put/output.
The "Any SMPTE2020" setting is a straightfor-
ward way to control how UpCon should process
audio using SDI metadata.
If any SMPTE2020 package is received, UpCon
can be set to bypass specific parts of the audio
processing.
The "Ch. Mode 2/0" setting looks a few steps
deeper into how specific metadata bits are set in
the SDI stream. It is intended for forcing UpCon
to upconvert stereo input to 5.1 surround output
and disregard any audio on the incoming C, LFE,
Ls and Rs channels.
An example: If the incoming program audio con-
tent is stereo and the optional C, LFE, Ls and Rs
channels are used for intercom signals, the "Ch.
Mode 2/0" approach will allow you to force Up-
Con to disregard the incoming optional C, LFE,
Ls and Rs channels.
Enable button
Use this button to enable device control using
metadata from the SDI input.
UpCon remote control
An SDI button that controls the same function
can be found on the Remote – Master page in
the Processing section.
Detecting parameter
Use this parameter to enable remote control of
features using SDI metadata and selecting the
preferred metadata detection approach being
used.
Off setting
SDI remote control is disabled.
Any SMPTE2020 setting
If a SMPTE2020 package is received, UpCon
can be set to bypass specific parts of the pro-
cessing algorithm as defined by the Processing
Control parameter.
Ch. Mode 2/0 setting
If the received metadata parameter Channel
Mode (ACMOD) value is "2/0", UpCon will pro-
cess the signal according to the Processing
Control parameter.
When using Ch. Mode 2/0, the only available
settings for the Processing Control parameter
are "Off" and "UpCon". So when the Process-
ing Control parameter is set to UpCon and the
received Channel Mode (ACMOD) value is "2/0",
UpCon is forced to upconvert the incoming sig-
nal from stereo to 5.1. All other incoming Channel
Mode (ACMOD) values will make the respective
