While the company said that all customers would be able to access it if their device was compatible, it wasn’t exactly clear what devices could do that. Sound Test 5.1 featured in Tyneside Cinema’s film programme from February to April, 2014. Earlier today, YouTube TV announced that they completed their initial roll-out to bring Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound to live and on-demand content. It was produced in 5.1 surround sound with both stereoscopic 3-D and 2-D versions. The film was commissioned by Pixel Palace for Tyneside Cinema. The motion graphics were designed to mirror the way the audio moves through the space in three dimensions. For several months the film was surreptitiously inserted into the cinema programme, playing, unannounced, before all main features. A site-specific cinematic artwork designed especially for Tyneside Cinema’s auditoria. Under the guise of a sound test the work explores the mechanics of the 5.1 surround sound system, temporarily breaking the spell of the surround-sound illusion to draw the audience's attention to the location of the speakers within the cinema environment. Sound Test 5.1 is a short sound film produced in collaboration with visual effects artist, Loday Gonpo.
Typical tests check the volume, frequency range and position of each speaker plus any synchronisation or phasing issues between them. The film is a playful riff on more functional speaker tests used by cinema projectionists to check that the sound system is operating correctly.
