Default Re: Is there a way to use a 7.2.4 Dolby Atmos home theater as a Pro Tools Dolby Atmos

You will need to use Dolby Atmos Production or mastering suite, but neither of them output an encoded audio signal suitable for consumer atmos home cinema systems.
Trying to map this out in my head. Would I completely bypass the Marantz receiver (as it's not an interface) and have the speakers and subs connected to the amp then the amp connected to the interface then the interface connected to the computer? So in my case

MBP with Pro Tools Ultimate and Dolby Renderer > HD Native Thunderbolt > Mtrx Studio (or Focusrite Red 16Line) > amp > 11 speakers + 2 subwoofers?

Is that about right? What am I missing or getting confused and mixed up?
