Source-Connect 4 has achieved Dolby Atmos certification

Source Elements has just announced a groundbreaking update: Source-Connect 4 is now the first remote collaboration platform with certified metadata-connected integration for the Dolby Atmos Renderer.

Source-Connect is widely recognized as the premier remote recording and collaboration software, trusted by professionals across the broadcast, music, and voiceover industries. Its established reputation makes it the go-to solution for seamless, high-quality audio workflows, enabling teams to collaborate efficiently from anywhere in the world.

This major development is a significant leap for immersive audio workflows. The integration enables the real-time streaming of a full 128 channels of audio alongside complete Dolby Atmos metadata. This means mixers, directors, and clients can now attend and evaluate Atmos sessions from anywhere in the world, with beds, objects, and metadata remaining fully intact—no more relying on fold-downs, re-renders, or reduced channel counts.

For those in film, TV, music, and long-form content, this eliminates a major bottleneck. Now, a mix stage can stream a live Atmos session directly to another certified Atmos room globally, with the receiving system rendering locally to its own speaker layout. Imagine a mixer working from a smaller studio or in headphones seamlessly sending a session to a large theatrical stage without any source-side reconfiguration.

This advancement finally delivers true, uncompromised remote collaboration for the most complex immersive audio projects. A game-changer for distributed teams and global client work.

The software is currently available for macOS, and requires the standalone Dolby Atmos Renderer application.
