Dolby Atmos Renderer

The Dolby Atmos Renderer is the central element of any Dolby Atmos mixing system. It works in tandem with your DAW to render your mix to any playback environment, based on the audio and positional metadata you author in the DAW.

It renders up to 128 inputs (including audio beds and objects with metadata) to your monitoring configuration, as well as rendering to standard channel-based layouts for both monitoring and deliverable creation. It also creates the Dolby Atmos master files, used for encoding for final distribution to streaming services or Blu-ray.

The Dolby Atmos Renderer application includes all features from the previous Dolby Atmos Production and Mastering Suites.
