Latin America. Often, the sound is so subtle that it goes unnoticed, but it can greatly influence the atmosphere of a scene and change the viewer's reaction. That's why Netflix just updated its platform to deliver high-quality audio.
According to the company, "We chose that name because it is its best definition: high-quality audio offers a sound more similar to what creators hear in the studio, because it captures even the smallest detail to offer a more intense experience. In addition, it is a function that adapts to the limitations of your connection or device: you always receive the sound of the best possible quality, as it happens with the quality of the image.
Background
In late 2017, they reviewed Stranger Things 2 with the Duffer brothers in a salon to bring them the same experience as viewers. In the first episode, there was a car chase scene that didn't sound as sharp as in the mixing phase. That's why they turned to the sound expert and engineering teams to achieve the perfect audio. They solved the problem for Stranger Things 2 by increasing the bit rate of the audio. Since then, they continued to work to improve the sound in all its aspects.
The subscriber experience
Most TVs that support 5.1 or Dolby Atmos can receive better sound. Depending on the device and bandwidth, the bit rate may vary between:
5.1: from 192 kbps (good) to 640 kbps (excellent/transparent perception)
Dolby Atmos: from 448 kbps to 768 kbps (Dolby Atmos is available for Premium plan subscribers)
