“There will be 10,000 audio tracks remastered for Dolby Atmos this year ,” according to Russell. Russell says integrators and music fans can expect the immersive audio market to explode over the next 12 months. During the event, John Russell, co-founder of Cortex VIP Systems, discussed some of the music applications Dolby is working on and its timeline for release. That new Dolby Atmos audio initiative was on display recently when Dave Silkin, president of Digital Sales Metro, held a high-performance home theater event in New York City at Dolby Laboratories offices. There is no question Dolby Atmos has put a charge in the immersive home theater experience for watching movies, but what about audio? Pre-Atmos, integrators’ surround sound audio demos were relegated to tracks from Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of the Moon.” But now thanks to a new initiative from Dolby, a variety of songs have been remastered to Dolby Atmos, giving integrators a growing selection to use for demos with clients, giving them another powerful reason beyond just movies to consider an immersive room environment.
