Configuration setups and data rates for Dolby Atmos Renderer
The documentation for the Dolby Atmos Renderer lacks basic info such as possible speaker setups, maximum configurations (13.1/7.1.6 surround or more possible?), data rates after conversion, and so on. I mean, you could probably find this info in the documentation for Dolby Atmos in general, but if a user is considering whether or not to buy the renderer, such basic information should be included in the documentation. So what are the specs btw?

    Hi Uwe,

    If you download the Renderer trial software there is a documentation folder in Applications/Dolby/Dolby Atmos Renderer that contains PDFs that might be easier to wade through than the online HTML. If you navigate to the room setup topic you can see the room setup window which displays all the speaker layout options available including array mode if the room size warrants it. The default speaker layout is 7.1.4 but additional speakers are activated and routed per the required layout. See attached.

    The MP4 export has two profiles used for encoding the Atmos to Dolby Digital Plus JOC at 768kbps (Music) and 768/448kbps (Film). Atmos Master file formats are uncompressed PCM.

    I will investigate the documentation email. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

    Best,
    Adam

    Many thx for the infos! Regarding the email, maybe your address is from an accepted domain. Anything coming from the outside results in this error:

    550 5.7.133 RESOLVER.RST.SenderNotAuthenticatedForGroup; authentication required; Delivery restriction check failed because the sender was not authenticated when sending to this group

    Followed by the detailed message hops, headers and so on.

      Understood. I've alerted the owners of the mailbox. Hopefully this gets resolved shortly. I'll let you know. Thanks again. Adam
