8. Know-How#

SDI-Workflows#

To remain compatible with current SDI infrastructure, the maximum channel count when exporting to MPEG-H Production Format (MPF) should be 16 (15 audio signals + Control Track).

Dolby ATMOS Conversion#

When switching from Dolby Atmos to the MPEG-H Renderer, Pro Tools presents the “Migration Utility”:

  • Perform Automatic Conversion: Pro Tools attempts to re-build the Atmos session in MPEG-H.

  • Convert all immersive assignments to a bed: All objects and beds are routed to an MPEG-H channel component of the defined “Bed Width”.

  • Do not perform migration: The MPEG-H scene remains empty.
