Thanks, that's nice. The audio file will be big then, shouldn't be a problem though. I guess theaters with 68 speakers some of them are matrixed.

Well, could be. Atmos can control up to 62.2 outputs. The base channel bed is 9.1. That's why metadata controlled objects can help expand the soundfield without requiring a full 64 channels. It does save some space, and allows for an easier, automated fold-down for smaller systems.
