saimox — BOILERPLATE (EN)
Three lengths. Copy whichever fits. All three are accurate as written; no claim
in them needs a footnote. The name is written saimox, always lower case,
including at the start of a sentence.


ONE LINE

saimox is an open, licence-free spatial audio format in which every sound stays
a discrete object all the way to the listener, plus the macOS tool to author it.


SHORT

saimox is a spatial audio format and authoring application built by Desteba
Productions S.L. in Spain. Unlike existing immersive formats, where the mix is
rendered to a fixed result before it reaches the listener, saimox keeps every
sound as a discrete object with its own position, movement and rules — from the
studio, through delivery, to the listener's device. Objects can react at playback
time to sensors, environment and session state. The format is free to read,
write and distribute: the company holds no patents on it and charges nothing per
unit shipped.


LONG

saimox is an open, licence-free object audio format and a macOS authoring
application, built by Desteba Productions S.L. in Crevillent, Spain, a studio
operating two Dolby Atmos Music rooms.

Existing immersive formats decide everything at export: the mix is rendered
once, for one speaker layout, and what reaches the listener is a photograph of
the room rather than the room itself. saimox keeps every sound as a discrete
object with its own audio, position, movement and metadata through the entire
chain — nothing is folded down until the listener's own device does it. Objects
can additionally carry rules that resolve during playback, reacting to head
movement, biometrics, ambient conditions or session state, which no other
streamable audio format currently offers.

The authoring application imports ADM-BWF, IAMF, multichannel and Ambisonics
material, separates existing stereo masters into placeable objects locally, and
exports to every target a client is likely to ask for. Rooms are defined in real
metres, so Doppler and distance attenuation follow as physical consequences
rather than dialled-in effects. The format itself is free to implement: the
company holds no patents on it, there is no decoder licence to buy, and nothing
to pay per unit shipped.
