UNIVERSAL SAMPLING RATE CONVERTER FOR DIGITAL AUDIO FREQUENCIES

摘要

A method for conversion of input audio frequency data, at an input sample frequency, to output audio frequency data, at an output sample frequency. The input data is subjected to expansion to produce expanded data at an output sample frequency. The expanded data is interpolated to produce output data. In one embodiment of the invention the interpolation is effected by a process that also filters the output data. In another embodiment, the input data is sampled by an integer factor to produce expanded data, the expanded data is then interpolated to produce the output data. Also disclosed is a method of transition of a signal output, at one frequency, to a signal output at another frequency. The signal output at said one frequency is faded out over a period, and the signal output at said other frequency is faded in over that period. Both signal outputs are combined to produce the signal output over said period. Apparatus for effecting the methods is also disclosed.
