Hugo M Scaler | Manual
_
The Hugo M Scaler is a highly
flexible standalone upscaler
that is not only designed to be
used with music, but with video,
too. You can playback video via
a computer/laptop/server or
a Blu-ray player etc. to get the
best audio quality from video
soundtracks.
However, if playing back video
content with the video filter
o the enormous processing
capabilities of Hugo M Scaler
may introduce an undesired
latency. This can appear as if
the sound is not syncronising
with the on-screen content. To
counteract this, the Hugo M
Scaler can be put into ‘Video
mode’.

Video mode 5.2
26 // 30
Video filter on: The tap-length is
moderately reduced to allow for
a latency reduction. This mode is
recommended for video but not
music playback.
Automatic: This mode will detect
when video is being played
by looking for a 48kHz digital
audio signal. If a 48kHz signal is
detected, the Hugo M Scaler will
automatically switch the video
filter on and display a cyan colour
light, otherwise. a yellow light
will be displayed to indicate that
music playback is in progress.
This mode will not change the
upscaled sample rate, however,
it will decrease the number of
operating ‘taps’ (how hard the
device is working to reproduce
the original waveform), in order
to decrease any latency.
Video filter o: The full 1-million
tap upsampling performance
is available for all music and
audio playback. This mode is
not recommended for video
playback.
