<h3>Upsize and downmix - mono thru 7.1.2</h3>
Spanner can upsize or downsize, to and from all common track formats, allowing you to actually 'pan' an LCR into the 7.0 mix bus, or temporarily send a 7.1 stem to a 5.1 output for monitoring.
<br /><br />
Spanner has complete, continuous control over input gain and channel position so the downmix is infinitely flexible and even realtime automatable.<br /><br />
<h3>Spin, Rotate, Pinch, Fly-over</h3>
Spanner offers panning options that you won't find anywhere else. Rotate lets ambiences follow a camera move, while spin is continuously dizzying.
<br /><br />
You can automate an entire stem to shift left, then right, then collapse into the centre.<br /><br />
Or you can engage the proprietary Balls-To-The-Wall mode which gives super discrete 3D fly-overs, minimising bleed between channels.<br /><br />
<h3>Dedicated iOS controller app</h3>
The purpose built iPad remote control app opens up powerful new workflows for the edit-room, the predub or the final mix.
<br /><br />
It instantly follows the currently opened pro tools spanner instance so you never have to think about loading a surround panner... it's just always there when you need it.<br /><br />
