Mediaproxy LogServer Attains Formal Compliance With Dolby Atmos And Dolby Digital Plus

Mediaproxy has been awarded formal approval by Dolby for the Dolby Digital Plus and Dolby AC-4 decoders.

This highly significant development adds support for all Dolby's distribution codecs and the Dolby Atmos immersive audio format to the LogServer compliance monitoring software platform and Monwall multiviewer.

Dolby is the leading developer of Next Generation Audio (NGA) technologies for cinema, broadcast, streaming, music and gaming. Its Dolby Atmos immersive system features on major feature films and is also a key element in many movies and high-end drama series streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. Dolby Atmos is an object-based audio (OBA) format that is also a feature of Dolby AC-4, which offers a wide range of features including dialogue intelligibility, audio description and alternative languages and commentaries, all with a high degree of personalization.

The Dolby AC-4 codec is part of the approval Mediaproxy has received from Dolby, along with its other key compression technologies: AC-3 (also known as Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound) and E-AC3, branded as Dolby Digital Plus, which supports up to 15.1 audio channels. The LogServer suite of software, including its Monwall multiviewer, now provides full monitoring and analysis of all these formats and the multiple channels and audio objects that comprise them.
