ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "scale=-2:576,
pad=1024:576:(ow-iw)/2:(oh-ih)/2" output.mp4

The -2 takes care of upscaling at multiples of 2, and 576 is the
desired output height. It will not change the aspect ratio. The pad
filter will pad the video to a full size of 1024x576, placing the
video at the exact center (which is output width - input width divided
by two, same goes for height).
