Home theater professionals, enthusiasts, and everyday consumers alike have plenty to be excited about. 4K / UHD adoption is on the rise, bringing display prices within reach for many. Simultaneously many manufacturers are getting behind HDR, an arguably more significant, if far less covered, technology than 4K / UHD. With all the discussion about advances in video one could be forgiven for overlooking the exciting field of immersive audio. But hey, that’s what we’re here for…
On this episode we are joined by Chris Boylan, Editor and Co-Founder at Big Picture Big Sound. Chris and his team are a fantastic resource for news, information, and commentary on the field of home theater. He is a wealth of knowledge on the topic of immersive audio, and our lively conversation with him covers a lot of ground. We start by diving into some of the basics of immersive audio – what is it and why you should care. We then round out the conversation with a healthy dose of specific information related to each of the big 3 formats currently in play: Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, and the newly minted DTS:X.
From the foundational principals of channel-based vs object-based surround, to detailed comparisons of each company’s methodology, this is a must-listen. We hope you enjoy!
