Definitions
- This invention relates to multichannel audio and more specifically to a method of decoding two-channel matrix encoded audio to reconstruct multichannel audio that more closely approximates a discrete surround-sound presentation.
- Multichannel audio has become the standard for cinema and home theater, is gaining rapid acceptance in music, automotive, computers, gaming and other audio applications, and is being considered for broadcast television.
- Multichannel audio provides a surround-sound environment that greatly enhances the listening experience and the overall presentation of any audio-visual system.
- the move from stereo to multichannel audio has been driven by a number of factors paramount among them being the consumers' desire for higher quality audio presentation.
- Higher quality means not only more channels but higher fidelity channels and improved separation or "discreteness" between the channels .
- Another important factor to consumer and manufacturer alike is retention of backward compatibility with existing speaker systems and encoded content and enhancement of the audio presentation with those existing systems and content. '
- the earliest multichannel systems matrix encoded multiple audio channels, e.g. left, right, center and surround (L,R,C,S) channels, into left and right total (Lt,Rt) channels and recorded them in the standard stereo format.
- these two-channel matrix encoded systems such as Dolby PrologicTM provided surround-sound audio, the audio presentation is not discrete but is characterized by crosstalk and phase distortion.
- the matrix decoding algorithms identify a single dominant signal and position that signal in a 5-point sound-field accordingly to then reconstruct the L,R,C and S signals. The result can be a "mushy" audio presentation in which the different signals are not clearly spatially separated, particularly less dominant but important signals may be effectively lost.
- the current standard in consumer applications is discrete 5.1 channel audio, which splits the surround channel into left and right surround channels and adds a subwoofer channel (L,R,C,Ls,Rs, Sub) .
- Each channel is compressed independently and then mixed together in a 5.1 format thereby maintaining the discreteness of each signal.
- Dolby AC-3TM, Sony SDDSTM and DTS Coherent AcousticsTM are all examples of 5.1 systems.
- Dolby PrologicTM provided one of the earliest two- channel matrix encoded multichannel systems.
- Prologic squeezes 4-channels (L,R,C,S) into 2-channels (Lt,Rt) by introducing a phase-shifted surround sound term. These 2- channels are then encoded into the existing 2-channel formats.
- Decoding is a two step process in which an existing decoder receives Lt,Rt and then a Prologic decoder expands Lt,Rt into L,R,C,S. Because four signals (unknowns) are carried on only two channels (equations) , the Prologic decoding operation is only an approximation and cannot provide true discrete multichannel audio.
- a studio 2 will mix several, e.g. 48, audio sources to provide a four-channel mix (L,R,C,S).
- the Prologic encoder 4 matrix encodes this mix as follows:
- Rt R + .707C +S(-90), (2) which are carried on the two discrete channels, encoded into the existing two-channel format and recorded on a media 6 such as film, CD or DVD.
- a Prologic matrix decoder 8 decodes the two discrete channels Lt,Rt and expands them into four discrete reconstructed channels Lr,Rr,Cr and Sr that are amplified and distributed to a five speaker system 10. Many different proprietary algorithms are used to perform an active decode and all are based on measuring the power of Lt+Rt, Lt-Rt, Lt and Rt to calculate gain factors Gi whereby,
- Dolby provides a set of gain coefficients for a null point at the center of a 5-point sound field 11 as shown in Figure 2.
- Rpow(t) Cl*Rt +C2*Rpow(t-l) (8)
- the vector sum of the L/R and C/S dominance vectors defines a dominance vector 12 in the 5-point sound field from which the single dominant signal should emanate.
- the decoder scales the set of gain coefficients at the null point according to the dominance vectors as follows:
- [G] represents the set of gain coefficients Gl, G2, ...G8.
- the surround-sound presentation includes crosstalk and phase distortion and at best approximates a discrete audio presentation. Signals other than the single dominant signal, which either emanate from different locations or reside in different spectral bands, tend to get washed out by the single dominant signal.
- 5.1 surround-sound systems such as Dolby AC-3TM, Sony SDDSTM and DTS Coherent AcousticsTM maintain the discreteness of the multichannel audio thus providing a richer and more natural audio presentation. As shown in figure 3, the studio 20 provides a 5.1 channel mix.
- a 5.1 encoder 22 compresses each signal or channel independently, multiplexes them together and packs the audio data into a given 5.1 format, which is recorded on a suitable media 24 such as a DVD.
- a 5.1 decoder 26 decodes the bitstream a frame at a time by extracting the audio data, demultiplexing it into the 5.1 channels and then decompressing each channel to reproduce the signals (Lr,Rr,Cr,Lsr,Rsr, Sub) .
- These 5.1 discrete channels, which carry the 5.1 discrete audio signals are directed to the appropriate discrete speakers in speaker configuration 28 (subwoofer not shown) .
- the present invention provides a method of decoding two-channel matrix encoded audio to reconstruct multichannel audio that more closely approximates a discrete surround-sound presentation.
- the process of subband filtering provides for multiple dominant signals, one in each of the subbands.
- signals that are important to the audio presentation that would otherwise be masked by the single dominant signal are retained in the surround-sound presentation provided they lie in different subbands.
- a bark filter approach may be preferred in which the subbands are tuned to the sensitivity of the human ear.
- the decoder can more accurately position audio signals in the sound field. As a result, signals that would otherwise appear to emanate from the same location can be separated to appear more discrete. To optimize performance it may be preferred to match the expanded sound field to the multichannel input.
- a 9-point sound field provides discrete points, each having a set of optimized gain coefficients, including points for each of the L,R,C,Ls,Rs and Cs channels .

- FIG. 4 is a block diagram of a decoder for reconstructing multichannel audio from two-channel matrix encoded audio in accordance with the present invention
- FIG. 5 is a flow chart illustrating the steps to reconstruct multichannel audio from two-channel matrix encoded audio in accordance with the present invention
- FIGs. 6a and 6b respectively illustrate the subband filters and synthesis filter shown in FIG. 4 used to reconstruct the discrete multichannel audio
- FIG. 7 illustrates a particular Bark subband filter
- FIG. 8 is an illustration of a 9-point expanded sound field that matches the discrete multichannel audio presentation.
- the present invention fulfills the industry need to provide a method of decoding two-channel matrix encoded audio to reconstruct multichannel audio that more closely approximates "discrete" multichannel audio.
- This technology will most likely be incorporated in multichannel A/V receivers so that a single unit can accommodate true 5.1 (or 6.1) multichannel audio as well as two-channel matrix encoded audio.
- the surround-sound presentation from the two-channel matrix encoded content will provide a more natural and richer audio experience. This is accomplished by subband filtering the two-channel audio, steering the subband audio within an expanded sound field that includes a discrete point with optimized gain coefficients for each of the speaker locations and then synthesizing the multichannel subbands to reconstruct the multichannel audio.
- the preferred implementation utilizes both the subband filtering and expanded sound-field features, they can be utilized independently.
- a decoder 30 receives a two- channel matrix encoded signal 32 (Lt,Rt) and reconstructs a multichannel signal 34 that is then amplified and distributed to speakers 36 to present a more natural and richer surround-sound experience.
- the decoding algorithm is independent of the specific two-channel matrix encoding, hence signal 32 (Lt,Rt) can represent a standard ProLogic mix (L,R,C,S), a 5.0 mix (L,R, C, Ls,Rs) , a 6.0 mix
- Decoder 30 includes a subband filter 38, a matrix decoder 40 and a synthesis filter 42, which together decode the two-channel matrix encoded audio Lt and Rt and reconstruct the multichannel audio. As illustrated in Figure 5 the decoding and reconstruction entails a sequence of steps as follows:
- a grid of nine points identifies locations in acoustic space. Each point corresponds to a set of gain values G1,G2,..G12 represented by [G] , which have been determined to produce the "best" outputs for each of the speakers when the L/R and C/S dominance vectors define a signal vector 72 corresponding to that point.
- Dom L/R and Dom C/S each have a value in the range [-1,1] where the sign of the dominance vectors indicates in which quadrant vector 72 resides and magnitude of the vector indicate the relative position within the quadrant for each subband.
- the gain coefficients for signal vector 72 in each subband are preferably computed based on the values of the gain coefficients at the 4-corners of the quadrant in which signal vector 72 resides .
- One approach is to interpolate the gain coefficients at that point based on the coefficient values at the corner points .
- Dl, D2, D3 and D4 are the linear interpolation coefficients given by:
- D2 1 1-distance between L (0,1) and vector 72,
- D3 1 1-distance between C (1,0) and vector 72, and
- D4 1 1- distance between UL (1,1) and vector 72 where "distance” is any appropriate distance metric.
- D2 1 ( I Dom LR i I - I Dom LR i
- D3 1 ( I Dom CS
- D4 ( I Dom LR i I * I Dom CS
- the coefficients default to the null point coefficients. If the point lies in the center of the quadrant (1/2,1/2) then all four corner points contribute equally one-fourth of their value. If the point lies closer to one point that point will contribute more heavily but in a linear manner. For example if the point lies at (1/4,1/4), close to the null point, then the contributions are 9/16 [G] Nu ⁇ , 3/16 [G] L , 3/16 [G] c and 1/16 [G]o ⁇ ,.
- the reconstructed audio may comprise multiple dominant signals, up to one per subband.
- This approach has two principal advantages over known steered matrix systems such as Prologic:
- the present matrix observes the motion picture/DVD channel configuration of three front channels and two or three rear channels. Thus optimum use is made of a single loudspeaker layout for both 5.1/6.1 discrete DVDs, and Lt/Rt playback through the matrix.
