Google and Samsung’s Dolby Atmos rival Eclipsa Audio is set to debut in Samsung’s 2025 TVs and soundbars, and it could be coming to more devices soon. The highly anticipated open-source alternative to Dolby's immersive audio format was rumoured in 2020 and revealed to a greater extent in 2023. At CES 2025, FlatpanelsHD heard from the two companies about their plans, and it has certainly piqued our interest on the long-awaited release.
But what actually is it? Essentially, it is the audio equivalent of HDR10+ video, so is free to use in products and content. Google told FlatpanelsHD that Eclipsa Audio does not need to be bundled with HDR10+ or anything else.
