Chapter 55: Mixing to Dolby Atmos 1251
Height
The Height knob becomes available when FreeForm
mode and Height is enabled/active. Height can be au-
tomated.
Adjusting Height in standard 2D view displays a ver-
tical bar to the right of the pan grid to indicate relative
height of that track. In addition, the size of the pan
dot increases as Height is increased.
In Theater mode a colored Height plane shows the
current Height value. The size of the pan dot indi-
cates proximity (see “Indication of Height, Proxim-
ity, and Location in 3D/Theater Mode” on
page 1250).
Zones
The Zones selector sets the speaker Zone (Zone
Mask). Choices include All, F/S (front and side), F/R
(front and rear), FC/R (front, center and rear), Front,
and Rear. Speaker icons surrounding the panner grid
appear as appropriate for the current Zone.
To select the Zone:
 Right-click, or click and hold on the Zones selec-
tor and set the Zone.
Zones can be automated.
Size
Increases or decreases the element size. When Size
is set to any value above 0/off, a transparent grid
(or cube if in 3D/Theater mode) surrounds the pan
dot. The grid/cube gets larger as Size is increased,
and smaller as it is decreased.
To change the element Size:
 Adjust the Size knob, or hold down Shift and use
the scroll wheel.
Speaker Snap
You can toggle Dolby Atmos Speaker Snap on or
off for tracks assigned to an Object.
To enable (or disable) Speaker Snap:
 Click the Speaker Snap icon to toggle on/off.

icon to “jump” the pan dot to a location.
