Samsung is bringing two new features to Samsung TV Plus which will make watching musical performances more immersive. As per announcement, Samsung TV Plus is getting support for Eclipsa Audio and a new Multi-Cam mode. These two will give viewers better sound and more control over how they watch performances from the comfort of their couch.

STN will be the first to get Samsung’s Eclipsa Audio and Multi-Cam

Both of them will first be available on Samsung TV Network (STN), Samsung TV Plus’ in-house channel in South Korea. They will debut with the Korean production of Maybe Happy Ending, the musical that recently won six Tony Awards. It premieres on July 12 and will air every Sunday at 7 p.m. through August 16.

Multi-Cam lets viewers choose between four different camera angles while watching a performance. Instead of being limited to a single stage view, they can focus on a favorite actor or switch to another angle whenever they want. It’s a simple feature, but it adds a fresh way to enjoy musicals on TV.

Samsung is also bringing Eclipsa Audio to Samsung TV Plus. Developed with Google, the format is based on the open IAMF standard and delivers more immersive sound. Voices and songs are clearer, while background sounds like audience cheers feel more natural and three-dimensional.

Samsung already has more content planned for the new experience. Hero, the musical based on independence activist An Jung-geun, will stream on August 15 to mark Liberation Day. Crash Landing on You will follow on September 27 during the Chuseok holiday, so there’s more in the pipeline for musical fans.

The update is also important for Eclipsa Audio itself. Until now, YouTube was the only major streaming service to support the format. By adding it to Samsung TV Plus, which now has more than 100 million monthly active users worldwide, Samsung is taking another step toward bringing its Dolby Atmos rival to a much wider audience.
