Re: Dolby surround 7.1 clarification
They call it that way to differentiate their sound format from the other 7.1 format.
Basically DCP is capable of delivering two 7.1 sound formats: The one specified by DCI has the channel layout of the old SDDS 7.1 format.
The Dolby 7.1 format isn't specified within DCI, and so it is not mandatory to the projector industry to test their sound outputs with this format nor providing output capability with their devices. The only D-Cinema projector/server company who definitely will provide support for this format is Dolby.
