摘要:
To generate a multi-channel signal with a number of output channels that is greater than a number of input channels, a mixer is used to upmix the input signal into at least one direct channel signal and at least one surround channel signal. The device is equipped with a voice detector (18) for detecting a section of the input signal, the direct signal, or the surround channel signal, in which voice portions are present. A signal modifier (20) modifies the input signal or the surround channel signal on the basis of said detection to damp voice portions in the surround channel signal, whilst voice portions of this type are damped to a lesser degree in the direct channel signal or are not damped at all. A loudspeaker signal output system (22) projects the direct channel signals and the surround channel signals onto loudspeaker signals that are associated with a defined reproduction system, such as a 5.1 system.

A reconstructed output channel, reconstructed with a multi-channel reconstructor using at least one downmix channel derived by downmixing a plurality of original channels and using a parameter representation including additional information on a temporal fine structure of an original channel can be generated using a generator (32) for generating a direct signal component (42) and a diffuse signal component (44) based on the downmix channel (38) is used. Only the direct signal component (42) is modified (34) such that the temporal (40) fine structure of the reconstructed output channel is fitting a desired temporal fine structure, indicated by the additional information on the temporal fine structure transmitted.

The invention relates to a method for characterising a signal representing an audio content. A measure is determined (12) for a tonality of the signal, whereupon a statement is made (16) about the audio content of the signal on the basis of the measure determined for the tonality of the signal. The measure for the tonality is derived from a quotient which has an average sum value in the numerator, of the spectral constituents of the signal which are exponentiated with a first power (x), and has an average sum value in the denominator, of spectral constituents which are exponientiated with a second power (y), the first and second powers differing from each other. The measure for the tonality of the signal for the content analysis is robust in relation to a signal distortion, e.g. by means of MP3-coding, and has a high correlation with the content of the signal analysed.
摘要:
In a process for coding a plurality of audio signals, the left and right-hand basic channels and the central channel are formed into a jointly coded signal by joint stereo coding which is decoded to provide simulated decoded signals. The simulated decoded signals and two surround channels are formed by matrixing by means of a compatibility matrix into compatible signals which are suitable for decoding using existing decoders. To prevent audible interference on account of the high energy contents of the compatible signals which would occur if joint stereo coding and decoding were first performed before matrixing, the compatible signals or the simulated decoded signals dynamically weighted by means of a dynamic correction factor in such a way that the energy of the compatible signals approaches that of signals which would be obtained by the direct matrixing of the two basic channels and the central and surround channels.
