Abstract:
Methods and audio processing units for generating an object based audio program including conditional rendering metadata corresponding to at least one object channel of the program, where the conditional rendering metadata is indicative of at least one rendering constraint, based on playback speaker array configuration, which applies to each corresponding object channel, and methods for rendering audio content determined by such a program, including by rendering content of at least one audio channel of the program in a manner compliant with each applicable rendering constraint in response to at least some of the conditional rendering metadata. Rendering of a selected mix of content of the program may provide an immersive experience.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for generating audio content for an object based audio program, said method comprising:\n generating conditional rendering metadata corresponding to at least one object channel, wherein the conditional rendering metadata is indicative of at least one rendering constraint for the at least one object channel, wherein the rendering constraint is related to a playback speaker array configuration; determining a set of audio channels including the at least one object channel based on the conditional rendering metadata; and generating the object based audio program such that said object based audio program is indicative of the set of audio channels and the conditional rendering metadata;\n wherein the rendering constraint includes a constraint relating to an elevation of at least a speaker in the playback speaker array configuration, wherein the at least a speaker in the playback speaker array configuration has an assumed location based on the rendering constraint of the conditional rendering metadata, and wherein the object based audio program is an encoded bitstream comprising frames, and each of at least some of the frames is indicative of at least one data structure which is a container including some content of the at least one object channel and some of the conditional rendering metadata.
