The AC-3 Multichannel Coder
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes the operation of the AC-3 multichannel adaptive transform coder. Coding a multiplicity of channels as a single entity is more efficient that coding individual channels, permitting a lower net data rate. The major processing blocks of the AC-3 coder are presented and discussed, along with the underlying psychoacoustic principles. Strengths and limitations of the coding techniques are cited.

Parametric Coding of Stereo Audio Based on Principal Component Analysis
Low bit rate parametric coding of multichannel audio is mainly based on Binaural Cue Coding (BCC). Another multichannel audio processing method called upmix can also be used to deliver multichannel audio, typically 5.1 signals, at low data rates. More precisely, we focus on existing upmix method based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This PCA-based upmix method aims at blindly create a re...
متن کاملDesign of the Audio Coding Standards for MPEG and AC - 3
ISO MPEG 1/2 and Dolby AC-3 are widely used in the network, wireless, multimedia system and video industry. This dissertation studies the design of audio standards: MPEG-1/2 and AC-3. The perceptual audio coder like MPEG-1/2 and AC-3 can be analyzed through filterbank, psychoacoustic model, stereo matrix, bit allocation/ quantization, and packing block. This dissertation considers the design fo...
متن کاملBitstream Format for Spatio-Temporal Wave Field Coder
We present a non-parametric method for compressing multichannel audio data for reproduction through Wave Field Synthesis. The method consists of applying a two-dimensional filterbank to the input multichannel signal, in both time and channel dimensions, and coding the two-dimensional spectra using a spatio-temporal frequency masking model. The coded spectral data is organized into a bitstream t...

متن کاملEmbedded Image Coding Using Context Adaptive Wavelet Difference Reduction
It is well-known that one of the best waveletbased image compression techniques, called Wavelet Difference Reduction WDR, has both simple algorithm and comparative rate-distortion results comparing to other coders in the literature. In this paper, we propose an algorithm to enhance the performance of WDR coder in a very efficient way. The methodology is highly based on the context adaptive mode...
