Abstract:
Provided is an apparatus and method for creating multilingual audio content based on a stereo audio signal. The method of creating multilingual audio content including adjusting an energy value of each of a plurality of sound sources provided in multiple languages, setting an initial azimuth angle of each of the sound sources based on a number of the sound sources, mixing each of the sound sources to generate a stereo signal based on the set initial azimuth angle, separating the sound sources to play the mixed sound sources using a sound source separating algorithm, and storing the mixed sound sources based on a sound quality of each of the separated sound sources.
Abstract:
Provided is a method and apparatus for synthesizing a separated sound source, the method including generating spatial information associated with a sound source included in a frame of a stereo audio signal, and synthesizing a separated frequency-domain sound source from the frame of the stereo audio signal based on the spatial information, wherein the spatial information includes a frequency-azimuth plane representing an energy distribution corresponding to a frequency and an azimuth of the frame of the stereo audio signal.
Abstract:
A broadcast transmitting apparatus and method, and a broadcast playback apparatus and method for providing an object-based audio by encoding and decoding a multichannel audio signal are provided. The broadcast transmitting apparatus may generate audio identification information used to determine whether the multichannel audio signal is an object-based audio signal. When the multichannel audio signal is determined to be the object-based audio signal, based on the audio identification information, the broadcast playback apparatus may control and output the multichannel audio signal for each channel.
