01Overview

The 3D Immersive Extension expands Halo Upmix into the vertical dimension. It adds an expanded interface with control over Ltm and Rtm placement for Dolby Atmos compatibility. A real-time analysis view shows how energy is distributed across the vertical axis of the output. According to NUGEN Audio, the enhanced upmix algorithm keeps all original Halo Upmix features available at the same time, including dialog isolation and individual channel output control.

Vertical Controls and Dolby Atmos Placement

The extension introduces additional vertical controls through an expanded user interface. The Ltm and Rtm placement controls let you position the top-middle channels, which supports Dolby Atmos compatible delivery.

The added real-time analysis view for the vertical dimension shows the energy distribution of the output audio. This makes it easier to see how much of the signal sits above the listening plane while you adjust the upmix.

Because the enhanced algorithm runs alongside the original feature set, you can keep dialog isolation and individual channel output control in use while working with height channels.

Uses in Film, Music and Sound Design

NUGEN Audio positions the 3D Immersive Extension for sound design, film score, restoration and archive work, music, and atmospheric soundscape production.

It requires Halo Upmix to run, so it works as an extension to that plugin rather than a standalone tool. Producers who already use Halo Upmix for stereo-to-surround conversion can add vertical control without changing their core workflow.
