Sony’s cloud-based media management and collaboration solution Ci Media Cloud now includes enhanced support for Dolby Atmos audio files, the company has announced.
Video and audio files with Dolby Atmos can now be uploaded and playable in Ci’s player experience, said Sony.
The integration with Dolby.io enables support for ADM (Audio Definition Model) BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) Atmos audio and users can select to listen to and download a binaural or stereo audio proxies directly in Ci, added the company.
Users can also visually see Loudness Unit Full Scale (LUFS) and True Peak levels in Ci’s built-in media analysis tool.
Other updated features include Ci Transfer, a new desktop file transfer app, which enables high-speed transfer of files and folders to and from the Ci Media Cloud platform, said Sony.
The app supports multi-gig speed transfers, retries transfers after interruptions, and is optimized to handle hundreds of files. The app includes pause and resume of transfers as well as transfer reports, while urgent files can be prioritised for expedited transfers and once complete, validated in transfer logs, said Sony.
“We’re continually evolving our Ci platform to better address users’ needs and become an even more intrinsic part of their daily workflow,” said David Rosen, vice president of cloud applications and services, Sony Electronics. “With […] a rich new desktop app experience, and Dolby Atmos audio for immersive, authentic sound, we’re making Ci even more accessible, easy to use, and powerful for creatives and organisations in every facet of the industry.”
