After a few re-watches, the movie seems almost tailor fit for dealer demo purposes thanks to its crisp sound and creative use of the soundstage. In the commercial sound reinforcement market, top manufacturers including L-Acoustics, Meyer Sound and Astro Spatial Audio have been promoting immersive audio as a next-generation experience for concert-goers. UltraHD Blu-ray disc packages are now available, featuring 4K picture quality and support for Dolby Atmos. Demonstrating the immersive characteristics of Atmos-encoded music, Russell played Atmos tracks from Imagine Dragons (“Believer”) and INXS (“Mediate”) for an audience of integrators and designers to underscore how well music can sound in an Atmos environment.

Russell says integrators and music fans can expect the immersive audio market to explode over the next 12 months. During the event, John Russell, co-founder of Cortex VIP Systems, discussed some of the music applications Dolby is working on and its timeline for release.

Dolby Vision HDR supports 12-bit color depth, as opposed to the 10-bit color depth supported by HDR10. There is no question Dolby Atmos has put a charge in the immersive home theater experience for watching movies, but what about audio? Pre-Atmos, integrators’ surround sound audio demos were relegated to tracks from Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” But now thanks to a new initiative from Dolby, a variety of songs have been remastered to Dolby Atmos, giving integrators a growing selection to use for demos with clients, giving them another powerful reason beyond just movies to consider an immersive room environment.
