9.1 Dolby Atmos Extension for Halo

Building on the groundbreaking algorithms that established Halo Upmix as a leading stereo upmix solution, NUGEN Audio will be among the first companies to introduce a 9.1 upmix option, which includes overhead positioning and generates a 7.1.2 (Dolby Atmos) bed track-compatible upmix.

With intuitive vertical distribution control, the 9.1 extension visualizes vertical positioning clearly through an expanded version of Halo's acclaimed user interface.

NUGEN Audio has worked closely with Dolby to ensure that this new 9.1 upmix solution enhances surround post-production workflows worldwide.

With this new extension, sound designers and post-production engineers can bring existing stereo content more easily into the breathtaking realism of a full Dolby Atmos mix. Dolby Atmos allows content creators to design mixes that will transport listeners with audio that moves all around them, including overhead. With an expanded and detailed visual interface, overhead positioning will be clear and intuitive.

This expansion to the capability of Halo Upmix is a timely introduction, as Dolby Atmos is now increasingly being integrated into cinemas, home theater systems, mobile devices, and UHD movie title releases. NUGEN Audio has worked closely with Dolby to ensure that this new 9.1 upmix solution serves to enhance surround post-production workflows worldwide.

A Halo Upmix is required for this extension.
