Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of encoding a multi-channel 3-dimensional (3D) audio signal mixed with a multi-channel 3D object signal is provided. The method includes: obtaining a location parameter indicating a virtual location of the multi-channel 3D object signal on a multi-channel speaker layout based on a gain value of the multi-channel 3D object signal for each channel; and encoding the multi-channel 3D audio signal and the location parameter.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of audio rendering three-dimensional (3D) audio signals, the method comprising: receiving an audio signal of an object and multichannel audio signals including a height channel signal; receiving location information of the object, wherein the location information comprises height information; obtaining first gains for the multichannel audio signals based on a first layout which is formed by the multichannel audio signals and a second layout whic…
