Beyond theory, however, reality brings disappointments.
I was very disappointed with the intermediate quality of the 70mm 5 perf prints of "Interstellar", "Hateful 8" and "Dunkirk". Years ago, the most important lab experts were dismissed.
Mr. Nolan and Mr. Hoytema would have to try a different way of working with regard to the processing of "2001" in terms of taste and technique.
It's certainly a mistake to announce in advance that you can restore the high-quality impression of premiere prints. With regard to the sharpness of detail and the image status after two stages of the intermediate process, this may never have been successful anywhere in the world.
If the shrinkage index demands modified Bell & Howell printers, it would still be possible today to draw acceptable positives from older negatives. However, if the original negative from "2001" shows some fading phenomena today, only the path of digital restoration remains as it did most recently with "My Fair Lady" and "Spartacus". For a very small amount of prints, perhaps the direct printing of the mechanically repaired original negative would still be feasible, which could achieve a better sharpness, but it is questionable whether one could restitute the shadows and gray values again neutrally without color crossings. But since this film was announced as "unrestored", I hoped for a direct print in Cannes! But after the UHD Revivals of Nolan Films (looked better in the old Blu rays before), I doubt, that they are able to restitute standard qualities of 70mm prints from the 60s.

The "6-channel" format of 2001 on DTS is standard "Special Venue" assignments:
L, LC, C, RC,R, S
That is, where Ls and Rs normally are, is Left-Center and Right-Center and where subwoofer normally is, Surround (Mono) is. That is VERY typical for 70mm (Classic titles) in DTS. Note, LC/RC can be called IL and IR (Intermediate Left, Intermediate Right) as well.
Part of the DTS format was for any non 5.1 versions to print, on the disc label itself the channel assignment.
You are correct that there are three 2001 DTS track types, 5.1, 6-channel and 8-channel.
