This is something I don't have enough information on -- I figure they're doing something like this, but Dolby is being somewhat vague with the branding and not really making a clear distinction.
I wonder how much this will complicate mixes though. As it is, we can spend a month doing the final mix on a big action movie, and then two months making all of the deliverables:
- 7.1 (2D and 3D)
- 7.1 home theater (2D and 3D)
- 5.1 (2D and 3D)
- 5.1 home theater (2D and 3D)
- Atmos (2D and 3D)
- Auro 13.1 (2D and 3D)
- Auro 11.1 (2D and 3D)
- IMAX (which has its own system) (2D and 3D)
- stereo
- Dolby SR (2D and 3D)
- Dolby Pro Logic 2 (2D and 3D)
All of these mixes are slightly different, mixed on appropriate speakers, and then you do a second version of most of these for the 3D, to accentuate panning effects. I guess to this we'd add to that the Atmos home theater mix.
