An apparatus (100) for downmixing three or more audio input channels to obtain two or more audio output channels is provided. The apparatus (100) comprises a receiving interface (110) for receiving the three or more audio input channels and for receiving side information. Moreover, the apparatus (100) comprises a downmixer (120) for downmixing the three or more audio input channels depending on the side information to obtain the two or more audio output channels. The number of the audio output channels is smaller than the number of the audio input channels. The side information indicates a characteristic of at least one of the three or more audio input channels, or a characteristic of one or more sound waves recorded within the one or more audio input channels, or a characteristic of one or more sound sources which emitted one or more sound waves recorded within the one or more audio input channels.

An apparatus for generating an output signal having at least two output channels from an input signal having at least two input channels. The apparatus comprises an ambient/direct decomposer (110; 210; 310; 410; 610), an ambient modification unit (120; 220; 320; 420) and a combination unit (130; 230; 330; 430). The ambient/direct decomposer (110; 210; 310; 410; 610) is adapted to decompose at least two input channels of the input signal such that each one of the at least two input channels is decomposed into a signal of a first signal group and into a signal of a second signal group. The ambient modification unit (120; 220; 320, 420) is adapted to modify a signal of the ambient signal group or a signal derived from a signal of the ambient signal group to obtain a modified signal as a first output channel. The combination unit (130; 230; 330; 430) is adapted to combine a signal of the ambient signal group or a signal derived from a signal of the ambient signal group and a signal of the direct, signal group or a signal derived from a signal of the direct signal group as a second output channel.

In a method for encoding a symbol it is determined whether the symbol can be encoded by a codeword of a first code- book. In case this is true, the appropriate codeword for the symbol is selected from the first codebook. Otherwise, a codeword is selected from the first codebook indicating that the symbol cannot be encoded by a codeword of the first codebook and the symbol is split into a plurality of first sub-symbols and for at least one of the first sub- symbols a codeword is selected from a second codebook. Also a corresponding method for decoding is described.

An apparatus for generating a representation of a bandwidth-extended signal on the basis of an input signal representation comprises a phase vocoder configured to obtain values of a spectral domain representation of a first patch of the bandwidth-extended signal on the basis of the input signal representation. The apparatus also comprises a value copier configured to copy a set of values of the spectral domain representation of the first patch, which values are provided by the phase vocoder, to obtain a set of values of a spectral domain representation of a second patch, wherein the second patch is associated with higher frequencies than the first patch. The apparatus is configured to obtain the representation of the bandwidth-extended signal using the values of the spectral domain representation of the first patch and the values of the spectral domain representation of the second patch.
摘要:
Transition to the logarithmic range does not require the entire bit range of the result that is linearly dependent on the square of the value. Rather, for a value having x bits, the result can be scaled in such a manner that a representation with less than x bits of the result is sufficient to obtain the logarithmic representation based thereon. The effect of the scaling factor on the resulting logarithmic representation can be cancelled by adding a correction value obtained by using the logarithmic function on the scaling factor to or subtracting it from the scaled logarithmic function without dynamic loss. The invention provides a method and a device for producing a representation of a calculation result that is linearly dependent on the square of a value, thereby allowing to carry out the calculation easily or with little hardware.

The invention relates to a scalable coder that comprises a first coding device (102), a decoding device (104) and a second coding device (114). Said coder is furthermore provided with a phase distorter (10a, 10b), for reducing a non-linear frequency-dependent phase distortion which is introduced by the first coding device (102) and/or the decoding device (104) and which causes an increased differential mode signal in a comparative device (110). A low-power differential signal is obtained which can code the second coding device (114) with less bits, that is with a higher bit efficiency.
摘要:
When an audio signal is coded, coded signals of inferior quality and bit-rate as well as coded signals of high quality and bit-rate are transmitted to a decoder. The low-bit-rate audio signal is coded and transmitted to the decoder first, before a further coded signal is transmitted to the decoder and either alone or together with the first coded signal produces a high-quality decoded signal within the decoder during decoding. This results first in a low-quality decoded signal in the decoder before decoding of the high-quality signal becomes possible.
