ATMOS - 9.1 Bed - PD-1

This week I have spoken to Ray Gillon and Bruce Emery about the current Dolby thinking on Mixing for ATMOS. The concept seems to be to record a 9.1 Bed (7.1+top left and top right) onto which the objects are added. If using stems and a 'Pec-Direct' his may require 9.1 stems to build the mix.

As the PD-1 is currently configured for 7.1 stems I can upgrade the PD-1 firmware to allow 16 track stems in two banks. I would be very interested in any input on this and for any other suggestions.
