METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DECODING AUDIO SIGNAL

摘要

Method and apparatus for processing audio signals are provided. The method for decoding an audio signal includes extracting a downmix signal and spatial information from a received audio signal, generating surround converting information using the spatial information and rendering the downmix signal to generate a pseudo-surround signal in a previously set rendering domain, using the surround converting information. The apparatus for decoding an audio signal includes a demultiplexing part extracting a downmix signal and spatial information from a received audio signal, an information converting part generating surround converting information using the spatial information and a pseudo-surround generating part rendering the downmix signal to generate a pseudo-surround signal in a previous set rendering domain, using the surround converting information.
