APPARATUS FOR ENCODING AND DECODING MULTI-OBJECT AUDIO SUPPORTING POST DOWNMIX SIGNAL

摘要

PURPOSE: A multi-object audio encoding device for supporting a post downmix signal and a decoding device thereof are provided to create downmix information parameters distributed based on 0dB and perform quantization/inverse quantization. CONSTITUTION: An object information extraction and downmix generation unit(201) creates a downmix signal and object information from an input object. A parameter determining unit(202) includes a power offset calculating part which scales the post downmix signal into the preset value, and a parameter extracting part which extracts a downmix information parameter from the scaled post downmix signal in the specific frame. A bitstream generating unit(203) creates an object bit stream by combining the downmix information parameter and the object information.
