    摘要: In the MPEG-4 standard ISO/IEC 14496:2001 several audio objects that can be coded with different MPEG-4 format coding types can together form a composed audio system representing a single soundtrack from the several audio substreams. In a receiver the multiple audio objects are decoded separately, but not directly played back to a listener. Instead, transmitted instructions for mixdown are used to prepare a single soundtrack. Mixdown conflicts can occur in case the audio signals to be combined have different channel numbers or configurations. According to the invention an additional audio channel configuration node is used that tags the correct channel configuration information items to the decoded audio data streams to be presented. The invention enables the content provider to set the channel configuration in such a way that the presenter at receiver side can produce a correct channel presentation under all circumstances. An escape code value in the channel configuration data facilitates correct handling of not yet defined channel combinations.

    摘要: For the purpose of spatial reproduction of an audio signal, the latter must be projected onto the positions of the existing loudspeakers. It is desirable in this case not to have to be fixed on a specific loudspeaker configuration for transmitting the audio signal. However, a problem here is that a multiplicity of possible combinations exists. In the method according to the invention, the sound sources (3) are interpreted as acoustic objects for the purpose of projecting them onto an arbitrary loudspeaker configuration (2). Here, an acoustic object consists in that in addition to the audio signal a sound source is assigned an item of spatial information which specifies a virtual, spatial position of the sound source. In order to reproduce an acoustic object, the spatial information of the sound source and the actual position of a loudspeaker are used to calculate the virtual distance from the sound source via the loudspeaker to the hearer (1). Before reproduction, separate processing (7, 8, 9) of the audio signal for each loudspeaker is then performed for each acoustic object.

    摘要: Disclosed is a placement system for a free-flying kite-type wind-attacked element in a watercraft in which the kite-type wind-attacked element comprising a profiled wing is connected to the vessel body via a traction rope. Said wind-attacked element can be guided from a neutral position on board the watercraft into a raised position that is free from obstacles located at the same or a higher level. An azimuthally pivotable fixture is provided by means of which the wind-attacked element can be brought into a position in which the same is exposed to a sufficient wind effect. Furthermore, a docking receiving device is provided which is to be removably connected to the docking adapter of the wind-attacked element on the side facing away from the wind while also allowing the wind-attacked element to be furled with the aid of automatically engaging holding means.

    摘要: Original digital audio signals are represented as PCM sample values wherein the distance between the values corresponds to the sampling frequency. Digital signals can have a length that is an integer multiple only of this time element. In particular coded digital audio signals are processed block-based, leading to a total length that is a multiple only of the block unit. According to the invention, information about the exact length of the original signal is transferred together with the encoded audio information. Additionally, an information value can be transferred that represents the total encoder and/or decoder delay. The decoder extracts these items of information and adjusts the total length of the decoded signal by cutting off samples from the decoded program or track.

    摘要: With audio data reduction on the basis of ISO/IEC standard 11172-3, a frame length varying by 8 bits is used at a sampling frequency of 44.1 kHz in order to arrive, on average, at a particular fixed data rate. The lengthening of a data frame is signalled by a padding bit in the header of the frames. The invention dispenses with evaluation of the padding bit. Instead, the mean frame length L is calculated, L is rounded down to the next integer, for the subsequent frame it is first established whether the expected sync word for this frame appears, and, if this is so, this frame is decoded without taking into account the padding bit, but if the expected sync word for this frame does not appear, the decoding of the frame is started one 8-bit later without taking into account the padding bit.

    摘要: Dolby AC-3 and MPEG-2 audio permit the transmission of audio signals with more than two independent audio channels. If a reproduction device has only a two-channel audio decoder (DEC1) then an external multi-channel audio decoder (DEC2) can be used for multi-channel sound reproduction. If the audio reproduction at the same time accompanies video reproduction, then a synchronization method is required in order to achieve lip synchronism between picture and sound. According to the invention, for the synchronization of a first decoder (DEC1), which merely has two-channel compatibility, with a second decoder, which has multi-channel compatibility, a counting variable is allocated a value (F) which is produced from system parameters such as the data coding method used, the transmission speed and/or the data rate. The data are received by the first decoder and output by the latter to the second decoder, the counting variable being decremented or incremented respectively for a specific volume of data. When the counting variable reaches a value corresponding to the beginning of the decoding by the second decoder, the first decoder then begins decoding the data.
