What NUGEN Halo Upmix - 3D Immersive Extension Is For
Designed for film/TV post-production, sound design, archive restoration, and immersive music, the 3D extension elevates a stereo or surround mix to an enveloping rendering with fine control of height channels. It allows adapting stereo TV mixes for 5.1/7.1 broadcast, creating Dolby Atmos-compatible 7.1.2 beds, or exporting in Ambisonics for VR/360 content without compromising the original mix's character.
Main Features
Cinema and Broadcast Upmix up to 7.1.2
Transform stems, groups, or a stereo master into a natural 7.1 or 7.1.2 soundscape, with a hard center for TV and options tailored to broadcast and theater requirements.
Dedicated Vertical Controls
Access Ltm/Rtm placement parameters and height levels to precisely shape aerial elements independently from the horizontal layer.
Real-Time 3D Analysis
An additional analysis view displays energy on the vertical axis to spatially balance effects, ambiences, and music while avoiding overload of height channels.
Respect for the Original Mix
The upmix algorithm preserves dialogue clarity, mono stability, and the original image, with individual channel control for a musical and coherent result.
Ambisonics for VR/360
Generate first, second, and third-order Ambisonics outputs (AmbiX) for interactive and immersive workflows, from spatial podcasts to 360 experiences.
