The Atmos requirements page specifies the archive print master as a Dolby Atmos BWAV ADM file (any bed configuration), with DME separation and group labelling deferred to Netflix's BWAV ADM Creation Guidelines. It gives no Atmos-specific filename pattern or ADM metadata table, so naming must come from the asset-naming page and those guidelines. Curator qualifications: Pages read 2026-10-22; nothing mixed or delivered. Archive-Specs link resolution and the naming page (S2, S4) carried from producer reading; 48 kHz/24-bit and FFOA rules not re-read. Limitations: Pages read 2026-10-22; nothing mixed or delivered. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
