Dolby Encoding: Engine [new]

: It can encode immersive audio content, including Dolby Digital Plus with Dolby Atmos (JOC) and Dolby TrueHD with Dolby Atmos .

Traditionally, audio was mixed in "channels"—Left, Right, Center, Surround. A mixer would "bake in" the sound of a helicopter panning from left to right. The Dolby Encoding Engine was initially built to handle these channel-based formats (like AC-3). dolby encoding engine
