As I visited the MPEG Symposium in Stockholm this summer and listened to the 3D sound session I want to give a pointer to
http://www.auro-technologies.com/consumer/experience There will be Titles released on the movies this autum using this technology for 3D sound according to the presenter. As far as I understood it is a speaker feed based technology, the surround layer is "normal" 5.1 with stereo back channels, The second height layer is 5.0 with a layer of speakers placed above the normal surround speakers, there was also talk about adding an additional roof speaker. The idea for end user speakers seemed to be to have them packaged as high columns containing one surround speaker and a height speaker in one module. This was the only interesting stuff, as I discounted the 22.1 Japanese stuff and other things. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
