AES Atlanta Section - Jumping Into Dolby Atmos for Music (and More)

Dave Stagl explained the concept of Dolby Atmos compared to stereo and surround sound. Here are few points that he touched on:

• Not channel based, but object based
• Metadata positions sound
• Renderer replaces the mix bus
• Scalable to the listening configuration
• Some modern devices can consume Atmos without special equipment

He answered questions, including ones about his monitor/speaker configuration, Dolby recommendations and other compatible gear and software requirements.

He did a quick demonstration of the Dolby Atmos Renderer.
