PARAMETRIC SPATIAL AUDIO RENDERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240274137 titled 'PARAMETRIC SPATIAL AUDIO RENDERING
The patent application describes an apparatus that receives a spatial audio signal containing audio signals and spatial metadata, generates a mixing value based on the spatial metadata and a predefined parameter, and produces output audio signals with a multichannel configuration based on the mixing value and the spatial audio signal.
- The apparatus receives a spatial audio signal with audio signals and spatial metadata.
- It generates a mixing value using the spatial metadata and a predefined parameter.
- The mixing value imparts effects of rendering a multichannel audio signal to a further multichannel audio signal.
- Output audio signals are generated with the further multichannel configuration based on the mixing value and the spatial audio signal.
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality and augmented reality audio experiences - Surround sound systems for home entertainment - Audio production and mixing in music studios
Problems Solved: - Enhancing spatial audio rendering for immersive experiences - Simplifying the process of generating multichannel audio signals
Benefits: - Improved spatial audio quality - Enhanced user experience in multimedia content consumption - Streamlined audio production workflows
Commercial Applications: Title: Spatial Audio Enhancement Technology for Immersive Experiences This technology can be used in virtual reality headsets, home theater systems, and professional audio production studios to create immersive and realistic audio environments, catering to a wide range of commercial applications in entertainment, gaming, and media production industries.
Questions about Spatial Audio Enhancement Technology: 1. How does this technology improve spatial audio quality in virtual reality experiences? 2. What are the potential advantages of using this technology in music production and mixing studios?
Original Abstract Submitted
an apparatus () comprising means configured to: receive a spatial audio signal, the spatial audio signal comprising at least one audio signal and spatial metadata () associated with the at least one audio signal; generate a mixing value () based on the spatial metadata () and a predefined parameter () which imparts effects of a rendering of a multichannel audio signal having a multichannel configuration to a further multichannel audio signal having a further multichannel configuration on generated output signals; and generating the output audio signals having the further multichannel configuration based on the mixing value () and the spatial audio signal.
