At the recent CEDIA convention in Denver the Meridian DIgital Theater demo was across the isle from the Dolby's Atmos Demo. Obviously people wondered about Meridian's plans for Atmos integration. It was my understanding that currently Meridian is developing a space based DSP that can be applied to any 5.1 / 7.1 source rather than direct Atmos decoding. The processing required for such a DSP will require the 861v8 or equivalent. On a side note, while the specific jungle and storm sound effect demos were cool in the Atmos booth the a direct playback comparison of the Star Trek : Into Darkness scene sounded better in the Meridian 5.1 system than the Atmos 7.2.4 system.
