Abstract
The present invention provides a novel end-to-end solution for creating, encoding, transmitting, decoding and reproducing spatial audio soundtracks. The provided soundtrack encoding format is compatible with legacy surround-sound encoding formats, so that soundtracks encoded in the new format may be decoded and reproduced on legacy playback equipment with no loss of quality compared to legacy formats.
