CHANNEL-ALIGNED AUDIO CODING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18301157 Titled 'CHANNEL-ALIGNED AUDIO CODING'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a method for outputting multiple audio channels of a sound program. It involves receiving an audio channel, a residual signal, a gain parameter, and a delay parameter. The audio channel is adjusted based on the gain and delay parameters to create an adjusted audio signal. This adjusted audio signal is then combined with the residual signal to create a combined signal. The original audio channel is output as the first audio channel of the sound program, while the combined signal is output as the second audio channel. The abstract also mentions that there are other aspects of the method that are described and claimed.


Original Abstract Submitted

A decoder-side method for outputting several audio channels of a sound program is described. An audio channel of the sound program, a residual signal, a gain parameter, and a delay parameter are received, for example within a bitstream. The audio channel is adjusted in accordance with the gain parameter and the delay parameter, to produce an adjusted audio signal, and is then combined with the residual signal to produce a combined signal. The audio channel is output as a first audio channel of the sound program for playback, while the combined signal is output as a second audio channel of the sound program. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
