  • Timecode is required for real-time Loudness measurement in the Dolby Atmos Renderer, and will use 1 audio channel.
  • The Dolby Atmos authoring process can be quite CPU intensive, depending on the size of your project.
    Therefore, Merging recommends running Masscore on i7 CPU (or more) with 16 Gb of RAM (or more).
  • Dolby Atmos Renderer on Windows: the Dolby Atmos Renderer requires MAD to be configured with a buffer size of 512 samples. Therefore, it cannot be used in AES67 mode (for connectivity with DANTE devices, i.e.) since AES67 requires MAD to be set with buffers sizes which are multiples of 48 (48, 96, 192 or 384 samples).
    If the Dolby Atmos Renderer is hosted on a Mac computer, there is no such limitation.

  • Recording back Live Re-renders in on the same MassCore Pyramix computer is possible.  The number of channels may vary depending on your computer and project configuration.
    Exporting Re-renders offline from the Dolby Atmos Renderer application is possible when opening the Dolby Atmos ADM Master file (Export Audio > Re-Renders).
  • MacMini 10Gb Ethernet port : currently not suitable for RAVENNA/AES67 network.  Please use a dedicated USB-C to Ethernet or USB3 to Ethernet adapter.

...

The devices have to communicate in the same RAVENNA or AES67 mode.
If you use DANTE devices (MacOS only), you must set the network in AES67 mode (48).
If you use Merging devices, you can set the network in AES67 (48) or RAVENNA (64) mode.

  • MassCorePyramix
    Open the VS3 Control panel, and set the Latency to AES67 (mandatory for DANTE devices) or Low Latency (RAVENNA).
    Core assignation : The Dolby Atmos authoring process can be quite CPU intensive, depending on the size of your project, for both MassCore assigned Cores, and also for the Windows ones.
    Merging recommends you assign at least as much cores to Windows as to MassCore.
  • Hapi MKII
    Browse to Setup > System, and set the Latency to AES67 48smp (mandatory for DANTE devices) or Low 64 smp (RAVENNA).
  • Anubis
    Browse to Home (Merging logo button) > Settings > General, and set the Latency to AES67-48 (mandatory for DANTE devices) or Low-64 (RAVENNA).
  • DANTE devices
    Your DANTE devices must be set to AES67 mode.  Please consult your DANTE device documentation for details.
