3D audio, not only Atmos
I'm interested in 3D audio and I buy a cheap receiver Denon AVR-X1500 and I have the speakers, conexions and config like attached 3D_Front_Dolby.png
With that I can play without problems Atmos (TrueHD or EAC3) or DTS:X from commercial sources and also free ones created in EAC3 Atmos. But encode to EAC3-Atmos is not easy like junh1024 say here Also junh1024 send me a free sample .m4a than can be played 3D with my Denon but in a not easy way. Here I want to explain how. The 7.1 m4a was created with qaac using the 7.1ch front (--chanmask 255) different from the standard 7.1ch rear MediaInfo inform like: Channel layout: C L R Ls Rs Lw Rw LFE Remember the name of channels used by MediaInfo, is equivalent to M$ WAV channels: FL FR FC LFE BL BR ? ? Lw and Rw (Left/Right Front Wide) don't have a exact WAV correspondence but maybe can be FLC and FRC (Front Left/Right Center) like the channel mask 255 is. These last 2 channels must be played by the Front Dolby Left/Right speakers, like a M$ WAV channels: FL FR FC LFE BL BR TFL TFR (Top Front Left/Right) To obtain that I need to deceive my Denon AVR-X1500 config it like I have connected Surround Back speakers (instead Dolby) and send the 7.1 PCM like a standard 7.1 FL FR FC LFE BL BR SL SR. Now I have other problem, my mpc-hc player (the LAV filters) decode the AAC C L R Ls Rs Lw Rw LFE in a wrong order: Lw Rw C LFE Ls Lr L R then I need make a remap like show in 3D_aac remap.png I attached a little channel test for check 5.1.2 audio systems Note: My Denon can be configured to have conected to last speakers “Front Height” or “Top Front” (maybe the logical selection) but I can't obtain the correct output even with different remaps in mpc-hc.

So to summarize, using extended AAC channels for 51 compatibility but 3D is prolly not gonna work. A basic outline for 3D is this:
1- set your AVR to 71b 2- mix in 71, BUT treat SL SR as BL BR, and treat BL BR as HL HR. Maybe best to mix in 51 + have a separate height bus you can mute & solo. 3- append like, _512sh to your file for clarity This should work, but might sound horrible when downmixed to 51. |
