AUDIO SPATIAL ENVIRONMENT ENGINE |
摘要 |
An audio spatial environment engine is provided for converting between different formats of audio data. The audio spatial environment engine (100) allows for flexible conversion between N-channel data and M-channel data and conversion from M-channel data back to N'-channel data, where N, M, and N' are integers and where N is not necessarily equal to N'. For example, such systems could be used for the transmission or storage of surround sound data across a network or infrastructure designed for stereo sound data. The audio spatial environment engine provides improved and flexible conversions between different spatial environments due to an advanced dynamic down-mixing unit (102) and a high-resolution frequency band up-mixing unit (104). The dynamic down-mixing unit includes an intelligent: analysis and correction loop (108, 110) capable of correcting for spectral, temporal, and spatial inaccuracies common to many down-mixing methods. The up-mixing unit utilizes the extraction and analysis of important inter-channel spatial cues across high-resolution frequency bands to derive the spatial placement of different frequency elements. The down-mixing and up-mixing units, when used individually or as a system, provide improved sound quality and spatial distinction. |
