UNWRAP -TDM / 3 E E N N G G L L I I S S H H Using the additive approach, UnWrap preserves the Left and Right channels bit transparent all the way down to the LSB of a 24 bit input. If the original stereo-mix is later requested, it can be obtained using only these two channels.
Bit T ransparency When 0% L/R processing is selected, input trims and output levels are at 0dB, the inputs are bit transparently cloned to the L Front and R Front outputs. MAIN P AGE Input trims are provided to carefully match the L/R balance. If working from analog tape, adjust balance with a 1kHz calibration tone.
UNWRAP -TDM / 5 E E N N G G L L I I S S H H Now adjust the Decorrelation T one and EQ parameters. T uning of the surround parameters is an iterative process and should include the delay settings as well. D-MIX P AGE The downmix feature allows the user to check for stereo compatibility .

E E N N G G L L I I S S H H 12 / UNWRAP -TDM Range for the Parametric filter: Lo BW : 0.1oct to 4oct Mid1 BW : 0.1oct to 4oct Mid2 BW : 0.1oct to 4oct Hi BW : 0.
UNWRAP -TDM / 13 E E N N G G L L I I S S H H The total delay on an output channel is the normal ms delay setting, PLUS the sample delay setting. The actual time a delay set in samples varies depending on running sample rate. E.g. if you are running 48kHz, a 48 samples delay equals 1ms, and at 96kHz it equals 0.
E E N N G G L L I I S S H H 14 / UNWRAP -TDM D-MIX DOWNMIX LEVELS The downmix feature allows you to check the UnWrap settings for stereo compatibility . Downmix levels should match the settings for the external downmix device. Presets are per default set to the following values that match the A TSC A/52 standard: From L/R : -3.
UNWRAP -TDM / 15 E E N N G G L L I I S S H H Preset Management TC's comprehensive file based preset architecture makes archiving presets a simple process.
