Thanks for the feedback Kevin ... it is fascinating.
I have two more follow up questions:
- Is is possible to go back and forth between Atmos and a 'regular' 5.1 or 7.1 surround session, eg if people collaborate on one and the same project where one facilty has Atmos whereas the other is still on regular 5.1, or are the object tracks proprietary for Atmos (meaning they can't be 'folded down' to 5.1 without losing automation information specific for Atmos)?
- Is there going to be a "THX" certification for Atmos theaters or something similar?
