A lossless encoder and decoder are provided for transmitting a multichannel signal on a medium such as DVD-Audio. The encoder accepts additionally a downmix specification and splits the encoded stream into two substreams, such that a two-channel decoder of meagre computational power can implement the downmix specification by decoding one substream, while a multichannel decoder can decode the original multichannel signal losslessly using both substreams.

An encoder for mixing a plurality of independent mono audio channels into a stereo recording and generating a restricted set of additional parameters used to master an audio track of a storage device is described. The plurality of independent mono audio channels are constructed such that the storage device can be played using an optical disk player so that in a first mode all of the plurality of independent mono audio channels are played as the stereo recording and in a second mode at least one of the plurality of independent mono audio channels can be unmixed and the stereo recording played with at least one mono audio channel removed. A corresponding decoder and an audio system comprising such encoder and decoder are also described.

Disclosed are a stereo signal converter whereby it is possible to obtain low-redundancy encoding signals (M, S) even when the sound source locations are different, and a stereo signal reverse converter whereby it is possible to obtain higher-quality stereo signals. In a stereo signal converter (101), a correlation analyzer (111) calculates the power (PL) of a left channel signal (L), the power (PR) of a right channel signal (R), and a correlation value (CLR) using the left channel signal (L) and the right channel signal (R). A coefficient calculator (113) calculates a coefficient a by means of the correlation value (CLR) outputted from the correlation analyzer (111) based on the magnitude relationship between the power (PL) and the power (PR). A sum-difference calculator (115) adds the left channel signal (L) and the right channel signal (R) to generate a monaural signal (M). Also, the sum-difference calculator (115) generates a side signal (S) using the magnitude relationship between the power (PL) and the power (PR), and a coefficient obtained by encoding and decoding a.

A method for providing multiple users with voice-to-remaining audio (VRA) adjustment capability includes receiving at a first decoder (14) a voice signal and a remaining audio signal and simultaneously receiving at a second decoder (15), the voice signal and the remaining audio signal, wherein the voice signal and the remaining audio signal are received separately, and separately adjusting by each of the decoders, the separately received voice and remaining audio signals.
摘要:
A method of embedding sound field control factors (SFC factors) into a sound source. The method includes coding sound field factors and sound field information to obtain sound field control factors for the sound source in a binary data type, and the sound field factors represent an acoustic characteristic of the sound source and the sound field information represents an environment under which the sound source is recorded, and watermarking the sound field control factors into the sound source without compressing the sound source. In this method, the SFC factors that represent characteristics of the sound source are embedded into the sound source itself using a digital watermarking technology. Therefore, the SFC factors need not be manually set by a user. In addition, the SFC factors can be reliably transmitted, irrespective of header corruption caused by format conversion and transmission of a compressed sound source.
