FIELD: information technology. ^ SUBSTANCE: present invention relates to a method for conversion between different multichannel audio formats with the highest possible quality, without limitation to specific multichannel representations, i.e., the present invention relates to a method which enables to perform conversion between arbitrary multichannel formats. An input multichannel representation is converted into a different output multichannel representation of a spatial audio signal, and an intermediate representation of the spatial audio signal is derived therein; the intermediate representation having direction parameters indicating the direction of origin of a portion of the spatial audio signal; and the output multichannel representation of the spatial audio signal is generated therein using the intermediate representation of the spatial audio signal. ^ EFFECT: high quality of reproducing a spatial audio signal. ^ 20 cl, 6 dwg |
