For studio setups with one of more Pro Tools systems being used as players and one Pro Tools system being used as a recorder, there have been reports of the recorder not receiving panning/size metadata via the Dolby Atmos Renderer. When this occurs the Pro Tools recorder system will show a valid connection to the Renderer in the Peripherals Atmos window. 

This has been isolated to the use of Pro Tools 2022.12 running on Intel Macs only and can occur following a Renderer upgrade to v5.0. Re-establishing the connection in the Peripherals Atmos window and/or rebooting the Renderer addresses this.

However, upgrading to Pro Tools 2023.3 and later is the recommended permanent fix for this issue.
