TC Electronic Announces UnWrap High-Resolution Mastering and Up-Conversion Algorithm Now Shipping
January 26, 2007
TC Electronic announces UnWrap™, the
world's most widely used high-resolution mastering and up-conversion algorithm for
music and post production, is shipping now. Originally developed for TC Electronic's
flagship System 6000 high definition processor, UnWrap™ facilitates smooth and fast
stereo to 5.1 up-conversions when there is no time to do a conventional 5.1 mix or
multitrack source material is non-existent. The UnWrap™ plug-in is available for
PowerCore VST at EUR 950 retail ex. VAT and for Pro Tools|HD Accel at EUR 1250
retail ex. VAT. The Mac version of UnWrap is optimized for both PowerPC and
IntelMac based systems.
UnWrap™ offers an abundance of parameters to convert stereo and LtRt sources to 5.1,
while remaining faithful to the original mix's width, timbre, spaciousness and other
significant factors. Because of this approach the 5.1 output can be subsequently down-
mixed to stereo again with no sonic penalties.
UnWrap™ includes customized up-conversion presets for film production and music
mastering. The default presets include the capability to widen or narrow the image,
specify envelopment, control the amount of center and LFE channels to be used, and
several other aspects for dealing well with a wide variety of sources.
UnWrap™ uses 48
bit processing, has sample precision aligned outputs, and is capable of running at any
sample rate between 44.1 and 96 kHz.
