MixConvert for DolbyAtmos

The downmix function in Nuendo supports 9.1 Dolby Atmos mixing. If the Control Room mix

is different from the main mix output bus, or if the signal is routed to an output bus with a

lower number of channels, the signal is converted automatically using the MixConvert plug-

in.

In addition to the standard MixConvert functions, the new MixConvert plug-in of Nuendo

allows you to solo or mute the top and side channels, and to adjust the top and side channel

level.

For Dolby Atmos 3D mixing, the following downmix rule applies:

•

If a 9.1 mix is converted to a 7.1 mix, the top channel signals are attenuated by 1.5

and added to the side channel signals.
