Apple brings Dolby Atmos to F1 on Apple TV, starting with the U.S. Grand Prix, and expands Multiview to smart TVs
Apple says Formula 1 coverage on Apple TV is getting a sound upgrade this weekend. According to the company, the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas, will be the first F1 race broadcast in Dolby Atmos, adding spatial audio to the Dolby Vision picture that subscribers already have.
Apple describes the Atmos mix as placing viewers inside the race weekend, with team radio, commentary, engine noise and pit-lane sound arriving from around the room. Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision for F1 are available through the Apple TV app on supported Apple devices, and on compatible Dolby-enabled TVs, soundbars and home theater systems. Apple has not said which specific models qualify beyond that description.
