DEVICE AND METHOD FOR GENERATING AN ENCODED STEREO SIGNAL OF AN AUDIO PIECE OR AUDIO DATA STREAM.

摘要

Disclosed is a device for generating an encoded stereo signal from a multichannel representation. Said device comprises a multichannel decoder (11) which creates three or more multichannels from at least one base channel and parameter data. The three or more multichannels are subjected to headphone processing (12) in order to create an uncoded first stereo channel and an uncoded second stereo channel which are then fed to a stereo encoder (13) so as to generate an encoded stereo file at the output end. The encoded stereo file can be fed to any suitable playback unit in the form of a CD player or a hardware player such that a user of a playback unit obtains a multichannel impression as well as a normal stereo impression.
