Syndicate of Sounds’ Deja Vu™ Technology Integrated Into Key Telos Alliance Broadcast and NEXTGEN TV Platforms

Cleveland, OH (March 3, 2026)—Syndicate of Sounds today announced the integration of its Deja Vu stereo to 5.1 upmixer technology into three professional audio platforms from Telos Alliance: ZipStream R/20, Linear Acoustic LA-5300, and Linear Acoustic UpMax ISC.

The integrations mark a significant milestone in Syndicate of Sounds’ OEM strategy, demonstrating how Deja Vu is designed to operate as embedded audio processing within established broadcast, streaming, and NEXTGEN TV workflows, enhancing their broadcast while remaining invisible to the production process.

Deja Vu is designed to preserve clarity, depth, and spatial realism while maintaining compatibility with existing broadcast infrastructures. As an OEM plug-in, Deja Vu operates within the signal chain, taking stereo content and upmixing it into 5.1 without altering creative intent or requiring changes to established production practices.

“With Deja Vu integrated into these platforms, broadcasters gain a powerful new tool to improve how audio translates across distribution formats and listening environments,” said Scott Stiefel, CEO of the Telos Alliance. “It’s about delivering enhanced, spatial audio regardless of where or how it’s heard.”
