MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO DECODER, MULTI-CHANNEL AUDIO ENCODER, METHODS, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND ENCODED AUDIO REPRESENTATION USING A DECORRELATION OF RENDERED AUDIO SIGNALS.

摘要

A multi-channel audio decoder for providing at least two output audio signals on the basis of an encoded representation is configured to render a plurality of decoded audio signals, which are obtained on the basis of the encoded representation, in dependence on one or more rendering parameters, to obtain a plurality of rendered audio signals. The multichannel audio decoder is configured to derive one or more decorrelated audio signals from the rendered audio signals, and to combine the rendered audio signals, or a scaled version thereof, with the one or more decorrelated audio signals, to obtain the output audio signals. A multi-channel audio encoder provides a decorrelation method parameter to control an audio decoder.
