Project mention: Multi-channel Audio Part 2 | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-02-02

Somewhat tangential, but here's a cool somewhat open-source project related to Dolby Atmos:
https://cavern.sbence.hu/cavern/
https://github.com/VoidXH/Cavern
The visualizer, which is what I was _most_ interested in (along with software decoding) is written in C# and the rendering is done in Unity -- both things I valued & thought were cool. In theory, you could build a DIY multi-channel "receiver" with this type of software if given enough audio outputs (and/or put something like Dante to use).
I explored it a bit further but it's relatively cost prohibitive, especially if you want to do something like accept HDMI input, it gets messy. AFAICT, at least when I went down this research path a few months back, even finding & getting dev kits/boards with HDMI input (of semi-recent generation) was non-trivial & pretty pricey.
