摘要:
An apparatus for generating one or more audio output channels is provided. The apparatus comprises a parameter processor (110) for calculating output channel mixing information and a downmix processor (120) for generating the one or more audio output channels. The downmix processor (120) is configured to receive an audio transport signal comprising one or more audio transport channels, wherein two or more audio object signals are mixed within the audio transport signal, and wherein the number of the one or more audio transport channels is smaller than the number of the two or more audio object signals. The audio transport signal depends on a first mixing rule and on a second mixing rule. The first mixing rule indicates how to mix the two or more audio object signals to obtain a plurality of premixed channels. Moreover, the second mixing rule indicates how to mix the plurality of premixed channels to obtain the one or more audio transport channels of the audio transport signal. The parameter processor (110) is configured to receive information on the second mixing rule, wherein the information on the second mixing rule indicates how to mix the plurality of premixed signals such that the one or more audio transport channels are obtained. Moreover, the parameter processor (110) is configured to calculate the output channel mixing information depending on an audio objects number indicating the number of the two or more audio object signals, depending on a premixed channels number indicating the number of the plurality of premixed channels, and depending on the information on the second mixing rule. The downmix processor (120) is configured to generate the one or more audio output channels from the audio transport signal depending on the output channel mixing information.
摘要:
An apparatus for decoding an encoded audio signal (100) to obtain modified output signals (160), comprises an input interface (110) for receiving a transmitted downmix signal (112) and parametric data (114) relating to audio objects included in the transmitted downmix signal (112), the downmix signal being different from an encoder downmix signal, to which the parametric data is related; a downmix modifier (116) for modifying the transmitted downmix signal using a downmix modification function, wherein the downmix modification is performed in such a way that a modified downmix signal is identical to the encoder downmix signal or is more similar to the encoder downmix signal compared to the transmitted downmix signal (112); an object renderer (118) for rendering the audio objects using the modified downmix signal and the parametric data to obtain output signals; and an output signal modifier (120) for modifying the output signals using an output signal modification function, wherein the output signal modification function is such that a manipulation operation applied to the encoded downmix signal to obtain the transmitted downmix signal (112) is at least partly applied to the output signals to obtain the modified output signals (160).
