Default Re: Dolby surround 7.1 clarification

Request for further clarification:

From what I'm reading here, the DCP standard for 7.1 then specifies the SDDS layout of 5 across the front, and two surround speakers. *not* the Dolby spec of adding rear surrounds. Is this correct?

I'm mixing 5.1 for DCP with some regularity here. (i.e. we do a 5.1 mix, and a film festival or other exhibitor will screen via DCP.) Generally we avoid Dolby, unless the film is a Dolby mix.

No requests as of yet for 7.1 But if there was such request, it will be critical to know the speaker layout expected.
