Ok, had a bit of time to read the (somewhat limited) technical document and it appears that it is
basically component audio + background soundscapes (aka "beds"), with final render done in the
theatre by panning the individual audio objects according to the sound trajectories defined in the
mixing stage. The beds are channel based, i.e. (I guess) pretty well standard panned to speakers
5.1/7.1/9.1.... arrays. There's no info about how panning is done in cinema renderer but maybe VBAP?
Anyone have any more detailed technical info?
