This allows for the ability to address individual speakers in a configuration to increase panning resolution beyond what is possible in a discrete channel-based system (ex 5.1 or 7.1.4). In the end-user's device they are rendered in the correct position for the individual deviceвЂ™s speaker configuration and capability. Object audio and their associated metadata are kept on separate buses from the Bed audio. These coordinates are dynamic and are updated with every frame of the game. Object Audio includes panning information in the meta-data, represented as X, Y, and Z coordinates (the Z-axis being elevation or height). In addition to Bed audio, Dolby Atmos introduces the concept of Audio Objects, which are routed out separately from the bed channels.

Bed configurations can range in width from Stereo to 7.1.4. Traditional multichannel audio is utilized in Dolby Atmos these channels are referred to as вЂњBedвЂќ audio. If a mixer wants the audio to appear as though it is coming from between the Left Surround and Left speakers, they pan between the two to create a phantom image.

If, for example, the mixer wants the sound to come from the Left Surround speaker, they bus or pan the audio to the left surround channel. With traditional multichannel audio, channels correspond to specific speaker locations such as the 5.1 or 7.1 Dolby Surround layout.

Initially introduced into the cinema, then into home theater, Dolby Atmos is available in games for the full Xbox family from Xbox One through the Series X|S, PC and mobile devices. It also adds Dolby Atmos objects to the mix, which are individual sound channels added to the 7.1.4 bitstream with dynamic x,y,z coordinates, amplitude and spread meta-data. The 7.1.4 nomenclature denotes seven ear-level channels around the listener, one LFE (low frequency effects) channel, and four overhead channels. These are represented by the 4 at the end of 7.1.4. In addition to the traditional 5.1 or 7.1 surround setups, Atmos introduces height channels to enable sound from above to increase aural envelopment. Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format that provides a compelling listener experience by surrounding the listener with sound.
