Abstract:
An apparatus for generating loudspeaker signals includes an object metadata processor configured to receive metadata, to calculate a second position of the audio object depending on the first position of the audio object and on a size of a screen if the audio object is indicated in the metadata as being screen-related, to feed the first position of the audio object as the position information into the object renderer if the audio object is indicated in the metadata as being not screen-related, and to feed the second position of the audio object as the position information into the object renderer if the audio object is indicated in the metadata as being screen-related. The apparatus further includes an object renderer configured to receive an audio object and to generate the loudspeaker signals depending on the audio object and on position information.

Claim (Index 12):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the object metadata processor is configured to calculate the second position of the audio object depending on at least one of a first linear mapping function and a second linear mapping function, wherein the first linear mapping function is defined to map a first azimuth value to a second azimuth value, wherein the second linear mapping function is defined to map a first elevation value to a second elevation value, wherein \u03c6 left nominal  indicates a left azimuth screen edge reference, wherein \u03c6 right nominal  indicates a right azimuth screen edge reference, wherein \u03b8 top nominal  indicates a top elevation screen edge reference, wherein \u03b8 bottom nominal  indicates a bottom elevation screen edge reference, wherein \u03c6 left repro  indicates a left azimuth screen edge of the screen, wherein \u03c6 right repro  indicates a right azimuth screen edge of the screen, wherein \u03b8 top repro  indicates a top elevation screen edge of the screen, wherein \u03b8 bottom repro  indicates a bottom elevation screen edge of the screen, wherein \u03c6 indicates the first azimuth value, wherein \u03c6\u2032 indicates the second azimuth value, wherein \u03b8 indicates the first elevation value, wherein \u03b8\u2032 indicates the second elevation value, wherein the second azimuth value \u03c6\u2032 results from a first mapping of the first azimuth value \u03c6 according to the first linear mapping function according to \u03d5 \u2032 = { \u03d5 right repro + 180 \ue89e \u00b0 \u03d5 right nominal + 180 \ue89e \u00b0 \u00b7 ( \u03d5 + 180 \ue89e \u00b0 ) - 180 \ue89e \u00b0 for - 180 \ue89e \u00b0 \u2264 \u03d5 < \u03d5 right nominal \u03d5 left repro - \u03d5 right repro \u03d5 left nominal - \u03d5 right nominal \u00b7 ( \u03d5 - \u03d5 right nominal ) + \u03d5 right repro for \u03d5 right nominal \u2264 \u03d5 < \u03d5 left nominal 180 \ue89e \u00b0 - \u03d5 left repro 180 \ue89e \u00b0 - \u03d5 left nominal \u00b7 ( \u03d5 - \u03d5 left nominal ) + \u03d5 left repro for \u03d5 left nominal \u2264 \u03d5 < 180 \ue89e \u00b0 , and wherein the second elevation value \u03b8\u2032 results from a second mapping of the first elevation value \u03b8 according to the second linear mapping function according to \u03b8 \u2032 = { \u03b8 bottom repro + 90 \ue89e \u00b0 \u03b8 bottom nominal + 90 \ue89e \u00b0 \u00b7 ( \u03b8 + 90 \ue89e \u00b0 ) - 90 \ue89e \u00b0 for - 90 \ue89e \u00b0 \u2264 \u03b8 < \u03b8 bottom nominal \u03b8 top repro - \u03b8 bottom repro \u03b8 top nominal - \u03b8 bottom nominal \u00b7 ( \u03b8 - \u03b8 bottom nominal ) + \u03b8 bottom repro for \u03b8 bottom nominal \u2264 \u03b8 < \u03b8 top nominal 90 \ue89e \u00b0 - \u03b8 top repro 90 \ue89e \u00b0 - \u03b8 top nominal \u00b7 ( \u03b8 - \u03b8 top nominal ) + \u03b8 top repro for \u03b8 top nominal \u2264 \u03b8 < 90 \ue89e \u00b0 .
