Title: MASA with embedded near-far stereo for mobile devices
Inventor: LASSE JUHANI LAAKSONEN
IPC: G10L19/008
Filed: 2019-08-02
Abstract: Microphone signals are used to generate a voice audio signal and metadata 1213, and an associated ambience audio signal and metadata (1215,1217,1219) that is generated using parametric analysis of at least one microphone signal. An encoded multichannel audio signal is generated, based on the voice and ambient (background) signals, that allows the voice audio signal to be spatially presented independently (i.e. moveable relative to) the ambience signal. The voice signal with metadata, the ambience signal, and the ambience metadata may be associated with respective embedded coding levels that each have an allocated bit rate (Fig. 6). The encoded signal may be based on capability parameters such as transmission capacity (Fig. 16), rendering apparatus capacity, or headphone or speaker configuration (Fig. 17). A rendering apparatus may compensate for rotation of a device by rotating the ambient scene in the opposite direction whilst controlling the position of the voice signal.
