Author Topic: Beauty and the Beast (2017) VF Atmos files Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-10-2017 01:58 PM                     Must be a new trend created by the "Logan" ingests: Now, just one drive for all content formats being: 2D 3D and ATMOS ATMOS sound files are now VF files with it's own key that gets attached to the 2D and 3D content. Keys arrived also today. -Monte  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 03-10-2017 06:15 PM                     It's the general transition to SMPTE DCPs. Before, Interop was the industry 'standard', but ATMOS DCPs had to be SMPTE DCPs, and thus were distributed on dedicated SMPTE-only disks. Now it appears safe to distribute general non-ATMOS DCPs in SMPTE as well, so all versions can be on a single disc and in a single Composition Package. All ATMOS data/assets are additional aux data, so plain 5.1/7.1 CPLs and ATMOS CPLs can coexist together with their media in the form of OVs and VFs. However, that ATMOS aux data may be ingested even on non-ATMOS equipped systems, eating disc space. So make sure to deselect the ATMOS VF if you don't have ATMOS. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 03-10-2017 06:21 PM                     Thx for the info. Makes more sense now. I've noticed, as least with our servers, that we have no issues with SMPTE content - even the content made using the DCP-O-Matic software and with the SMPTE encoding. -Monte  |  IP: Logged
