ADAPTIVE AUDIO TRANSCODING

摘要

A system and method provide an audio/video coding system for adaptively transcoding audio streams based on content characteristics of the audio streams. An audio stream metadata extraction module of the system is configured to extract metadata of a source audio stream. An audio stream classification module of the system is configured to classify the source audio stream into one of the several audio content categories based on the metadata of the source audio stream. An adaptive audio encoder of the system is configured to determine one or more transcoding parameters including target bitrate and sampling rate based on the metadata and classification of the source audio stream. An adaptive audio transcoder of the system is configured to transcode the source audio stream into an output audio stream using the transcoding parameters.
