4DX

Post by PetterT »

Hi Carl,

Do you have any plans to look into the 4DX format?
We're "upgrading" to 4DX at my cinema in two months.

And thank you for your great work with DCP-o-matic, I've used it alot!

Best regards,
Petter

Hi Petter,
I have no immediate plans... do you know if any of the 4DX stuff is openly documented?

dbox and 4DX use audio tracks with specially encoded control data. You would need to get access to proprietary tools from dbox or 4DX to create these.

I don't think these companies will make their proprietary control protocol available.

Once you have created them, DOM can embed them into a DCP just like any other audio asset.
