How will I get Dolby Atmos movies?
We wanted to ensure that entertainment fans could get Dolby Atmos movies in the same ways they get movies now, on Blu-ray Disc™ or through streaming video services.
We invented new scalable algorithms and extensions to Dolby® TrueHD, our Blu-ray™ format, and Dolby Digital Plus™, which is used by leading streaming video providers. Both formats now support Dolby Atmos sound, meaning that you’ll be able to play Dolby Atmos movies from your Blu-ray player or through your favorite streaming service.
Will I have to replace my Blu-ray player or my HDMI cables?
Any Blu-ray player that fully conforms to the Blu-ray specification can play a Dolby Atmos movie without a firmware update. Just remember to set your player to audio bitsteam output mode.
There’s also no need to buy new HDMI® cables. The current HDMI spec fully supports Dolby Atmos audio.
