Looks like Disney+ will now offer IMAX Enhanced versions of the Marvel films. What’s also interesting is they will have a version of DTS sound tracks also. No idea if it’s DTS-Pro or just DTS-X. If it’s Pro that would be a legitimate reason for Emotiva to get Pro support on the G3 units. www.engadget.com/disney-plus-imax-enhanced-marvel-mcu-140016192.html |

Whats the data rate for DTS pro audio stream on a Bluray? Any DTS or Dolby stream will be compressed compared to the Bluray/4K version. Only so much stuff you can fit in that Disney + stream. www.reddit.com/r/DisneyPlus/comments/dvjvtl/some_bitrate_tests_and_comparisons/I see some as high as 30Mb/s which is impressive but still a third of a 4k bluray. So keep that in mind when talking about these lossy streaming formats vs the lossless audio of disk media. |

Honestly I’m more excited about the video part of this than the audio. With almost all TVs 16:9 and a majority of projectors the same way I am happy to get something with a format that will better fill the screen.

................and so IMAX Enhanced Marvel movies on Disney+ are now available, under the "VERSIONS" tab after selecting the movie to be viewed. The 1.90:1 aspect ratio sure does add to the movie experience.

Fortunately for Emotiva owners the audio is still Atmos on the Disney releases. When I first tried watching Shang-Chi last night on Disney+ on AT4Kgen2 the app reported an HDCP compatibility error and suggested changing cables or bypassing the XMC-2 and cabling direct to the TV. I have HDMI certified ultra high speed Zeskit cables. This morning the movie played fine with no problems. |

I found the fight scenes in Shang-Chi difficult to enjoy because the jerky virtual camera movement is distracting and makes it hard to focus on the otherwise excellent fight choreography. I hope that this is just the cinematography of this individual movie and not illustrative of the IMAX home movie format.
EDIT: I think it is mostly the vertical camera movement that is distracting. I watched some of the same scenes switching between IMAX and widescreen modes. With more background images showing IMAX the vertical camera jerks are made more distracting to me.
SECOND EDIT: I just found a NY Times review that critiqued the fights so it may just be this one movie “Besides one sensational fight sequence on a bus, the battles are poorly lit and filmed with such an over-excited eye that the intricacies of the choreography are lost. It’s a travesty, because Liu, a seasoned stuntman, has the effortless acrobatics and fastidious martial arts technique of an A-list action hero.”

Besides the latest crop of Sony panels, I don't know of any streaming devices that support DTS. |

Besides the latest crop of Sony panels, I don't know of any streaming devices that support DTS. Quite true... LG and Samsung really screwed the pooch. No support for DTS whatsoever. Not even pass-through via eARC. However, any streaming device that supports HDMI audio bitstreaming (the Nvidia Shield for example) would work. |
