I reported on this in discussions about whether Meridian top products are stale. Meridian just do not seem to be introducing the codecs to their processors even though they themselves had experimented with additional height speakers years ago. And Yamaha fitted such processing years if not decades ago. So the dedicated Dolby solution is a natural development.
Onkyo have a processor with PLIIz due out late Spring.
Steady! Dolby effectively pay Meridian's DSP team's salaries due to all of the consultancy fees that the team brings in. Don't bank on Meridian not "beating" Onkyo.
Also worth saying that the 861 code (or similar) may even form some of the basis of PLIIz...
