Dolby Atmos 62.2 Surround Sound: Coming to Home Theater?

Yeah… don’t bother to tell us WHICH 14 theaters. That wouldn’t be useful information at all.

MParker,

The list of theaters has been added. Thx!

WHAT IF I’M DEAF.

Your deafness won’t matter much in comparison with your intelligence and imagination.

Another gimic.  The problem isn’t hte sond or hte 3D.  It’s that Hollywood makes ###### movies.  There is a reason foreign films are taking off on netlfix.  It’s the story!

I’m not sure the writer even watched the video.  This technology would scale depending on how many speakers you set up and choose to configure.  My receiver today comes with a mic and auto configures itself for the speaker layout in the room.

Just like they talk about in the clip, a huge variety of theatre setups, and therefore home setups will be scalable with this technology.

Sounds great to me and I look forward to be able to use this technology at home.

I believe and don’t quote me.
SOME of Avatar was shot in 11/22 (or as its known 22/11), but dark knight rises is still using 7.1 for most of the movie.

Unless the movie or film is actually mixed with 11/22 or higher it isn’t going to really matter much because the bottom and upper channels will just be in reality non existent.

Still i’d love to see avatar at one of these theaters, especially the imax2 in jersey.

No, for me thanks to my mono bone conduction hearing aid and being deaf since birth. :(

Could it not be that concentrating on mixing 4 channels or perhaps 4.1 accurately would be far superior to throwing extra sources into a home cinema? Perhaps 6.1 if it is desirable to include height in the sound stage.

There is an argument for large commercial rooms in that there are a multitude of listening positions to satisfy. However adding extra sound sources into any room will create sonic interference minefields.

Scaling or down mixing is clever but as always tailored resolutions will invariably leave scope for better works.

Sdfasdf has hit upon a certain truth.

I saw Brave 3D with Atmos in Century City, CA over the weekend seated in a decent position in the theater.  I was not blown away but my eardrums were a few times in the movie (2-3 parts of the movie were painfully loud). 

Overall, it was a comparable experience to watching a quality 7.2 system in a proper home theater.  This combination of quality sound and the huge screen for 3D will keep me coming back to the theater for the new releases. $19 per ticket is the worst part of the experience.

How many CP750’s and Lake Processors can YOU fit in a rack?!?
