PRODUCT BACKGROUND

Our initial internal Product Requirement Document for this product dates back to early 2021 as we were seeing ever more 16 channel DCI digital home theatre installations for Dolby Atmos®.

At the time our focus was completing the H2-4D and starting development the H1-D. It wasn't until the end of 2024 that we could finally put resources into this product as the H1-D's delay and extra development requirements had pushed the process out a year.
