8.2 and Ambisonic plug-ins

SoundField SurroundZone2 : Working.


Next stage : allow Ambisonics B-format to map directly to an Atmos objet.


Actually it’s necessary to decode B-format to a discrete format (for example speakerdome) before to enter the Atmos RMU to to allow height information to be preserved.

So it’s using 8 mono channels objects, does not preserve the B-format integrity, and ask for two conversions. One using a B-format to discrete decoder plugin, and another inside the Dolby RME to convert from 8 channels discrete to the final theater speaker configuration.

This is non sense and unnecessary complication.

B-format should be directly supported by Dolby Atmos, with panning through the Nuendo panner.
