01Overview

Halo Downmix 3D Immersive Extension is an optional add-on for NUGEN Audio's Halo Downmix. It adds the ability to downmix 7.1.2 Dolby Atmos bed tracks, the channel-based layer of an Atmos mix, into the more common 7.1, 5.1 and stereo formats. The extension is aimed at audio post-production and immersive mixing workflows where one immersive mix needs to be delivered in several channel configurations. Because it is an extension, it works only alongside the Halo Downmix base product.

Downmixing Dolby Atmos Beds to Legacy Formats

Dolby Atmos mixes are often built on a 7.1.2 bed, which carries the channel-based content of the mix alongside the object-based elements. Delivering that mix to systems that do not support Atmos requires a downmix to fewer channels.

The 3D Immersive Extension gives Halo Downmix the ability to take 7.1.2 bed tracks and render them to 7.1, 5.1 and stereo. This lets a single immersive session feed several legacy deliverables without rebuilding the mix for each one.

It is a targeted tool: its job is the bed-to-channel-count conversion, and the surrounding downmix functions come from the Halo Downmix base product.
