Samsung brings Eclipsa Audio to its video streaming service

Google and Samsung launched Eclipsa Audio last year to rival Dolby Atmos. However, until now, YouTube was the only video streaming service to support the new spatial audio format. Samsung is now bringing Eclipsa Audio to its own ad-supported streaming service, Samsung TV Plus, which has over 100 million active users.

The company announced today that it is making music concerts more immersive on Samsung TV Plus with two new features: Multi-Cam and Eclipsa Audio. With Multi-Cam, viewers can watch concerts from multiple camera angles, allowing them to focus on specific performers or viewpoints. Eclipsa Audio, on the other hand, delivers 3D spatial audio with clearer vocals and a more immersive venue atmosphere (such as audience cheering voices).

These features will debut first on the Samsung TV Network (STN) channel on Samsung TV Plus in South Korea. Multi-Cam and Eclipsa Audio will make their debut with the Korean production of the musical Maybe Happy Ending, which will air on STN every Sunday at 7 p.m. from July 12 through August 16, 2026.

In the future, two more Korean musicals, Hero and Crash Landing on You, will also be streamed with these features. Hero will air on Liberation Day (August 15, 2026), while Crash Landing on You will be available on September 27, 2026, during the Chuseok holiday.

If you’re unfamiliar with it, Google and Samsung co-developed the Eclipsa Audio standard based on the Immersive Audio Model and Formats (IAMF) technology. It is an open standard designed to compete with Dolby Atmos and is supported on Samsung smart TVs and soundbars launched in 2025 or later. Eclipsa Audio is also available on Galaxy phones and tablets.
