Introduction The DaySequerra MultiMerge2 enables broadcasters to smooth the transition from stereo to 5.1 surround sound by providing viewers with a 24/7 surround sound experience. With MultiMerge2 inline, 5.1 original content is passed unaffected to the viewer while original stereo content is upmixed to a 5.1 surround sound image providing the viewer with a consistent surround experience. The transition between 5.1 and stereo occurs seamlessly without the need of operator intervention.
Power Connection The AC power cable supplied with MultiMerge2 must be connected from the IEC320 power entry module to an AC mains outlet with a functional earth ground connection. For protection against electric shock and electro-magnetic interference, do not plug the power cable into a ground lifting adapter or remove the cable’s grounding pin. If in doubt, please consult a qualified electrician.
