48 TVBEurope IBC2014 Sneak Preview Rohde & Schwarz Clipster certifi ed Atmos By Carolyn Giardina
THE CLIPSTER mastering system is now certifi ed to enable users to create DCPs with a Dolby Atmos mix.
Dolby Atmos is an “object- based” immersive sound format, and recent fi lms, including Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Guardians of the Galaxy, were given Atmos mixes for supported cinemas. A beta version of Clipster with Atmos was used last year for The Hobbit: The Desolation
of Smaug. Clipster can generate compliant DCPs in realtime — whether the material is in 2D, 3D, 4K or high frame rate. By using Rohde & Schwarz DVS’s JPEG2000 encoding hardware, 96 frames can be converted per second.
Now, Dolby Atmos mixes can additionally be integrated in the mastering process for the DCP. “Dolby Laboratories always delivers exceptional technology that has and will transform the entertainment and cinema industry,” said Bernhard Reitz, head of product management at Rohde & Schwarz DVS. “Combining our
