Samsung has just announced that it has developed a new 3D spatial audio technology, IAMF (Immersive Audio Model and Formats), in collaboration with Google. IAMF is open source and has features like vertical sound channels, AI-based scene analysis and the flexibility to customise content audio based on listening preferences.
I just can’t stand that Dolby Vision & Atmos needs so much HDMI handshake that it slows down. Not all TVs support their stuff through ARC and you can’t use it. I wish more TV used the open source Samsung version, which is almost as good.
