Although, in looking at my notes of recent releases, I should say "If the feature will be 7.1, the trailers are 7.1-only. If the feature will be 5.1-only, trailers are 5.1."  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 11-23-2018 06:04 PM                     You can play 7.1 in a 5.1 setup.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Some dedicated QSYS setups certainly will allow to create a suitable downmix, but the general CP doesn't. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

E.g. if you have a single 7.1 screen registered, would they simply skip supplying a 5.1 version even if there is one available? How do you receive these trailers from Universal? - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Mark Strube Master Film Handler Posts: 322 From: Milwaukee, WI, United States Registered: Feb 2007 posted 12-05-2018 02:58 PM                        We receive the generic TrailMix hard drives, and I've definitely seen a number of trailers on those available only in 7.1. So, I don't think it's a site registration issue. I would argue a bit of a "who cares" in the case of trailers since they tend to overuse surround and LFE anyways... but not good in the case of features.  |  IP: Logged Harold Hallikainen Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 906 From: Denver, CO, USA Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-05-2018 07:15 PM                        I heard at a recent ISDCF meeting that some trailers are indeed only being delivered 7.1.

Yes, there had been some special 7.1 trailers occasionally for high profile releases like SW7 and the like. I think mostly these are generated from ATMOS 5.1/7.1 mixdowns in a more or less automated way without much special attention. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2018 09:16 AM                     DCI compliance rules state that 5.1 shall be the minimum requirements. It is not the cinemas at fault for not having 7.1 capability, it is those that only author in 7.1. If they want to mix in 7.1, that is fine but the distributor should be compelled to always have a 5.1 version of the mix, including trailers. Furthermore, this applies to all you 2.0 people out there. 2.0 is NOT a supported format in cinema, before authoring, run your "mix" through a 2:4 decoder so that if you really just have 2-channel mono, it comes out of Center only.  |  IP: Logged
