Is there any technical info available about how Atmos content is encoded? I've seen reference to "128 channels" so does that mean things are encoded as up to 128 simultaneous channels coming from different virtual locations? How do they get re-panned for the client-side speaker configuration? If so are the locations movable or hard-coded in the format? Are there any shoot-outs out there between Atmos and HOA? It's hard to find technical info among all the marketing.
