Abstract:
An apparatus for encoding a multi-channel signal including at least two channels includes a time-spectral converter for converting sequences of blocks of sampling values of the at least two channels into a frequency domain representation having sequences of blocks of spectral values for the at least two channels; a multi-channel processor for applying a joint multi-channel processing to the sequences of blocks of spectral values to obtain at least one result sequence of blocks of spectral values including information related to the at least two channels; a spectral-time converter for converting the result sequence of blocks of spectral values into a time domain representation including an output sequence of blocks of sampling values; and a core encoder for encoding the output sequence of blocks of sampling values to obtain an encoded multi-channel signal.

Claim (Index 43):
Non-transitory digital storage medium having a computer program stored thereon to perform the method of encoding a multi-channel signal comprising at least two channels, said method comprising:\n converting sequences of blocks of sampling values of the at least two channels into a frequency domain representation comprising sequences of blocks of spectral values for the at least two channels; applying a joint multi-channel processing to the sequences of blocks of spectral values to acquire at least one result sequence of blocks of spectral values comprising information related to the at least two channels; converting the result sequence of blocks of spectral values into a time domain representation comprising an output sequence of blocks of sampling values; and core encoding the output sequence of blocks of sampling values to acquire an encoded multi-channel signal, wherein the core encoding operates in accordance with a first frame control to provide a sequence of frames, wherein a frame is bounded by a start frame border and an end frame border, and wherein the time-spectral converting or the spectral-time converting operates in accordance with a second frame control being synchronized to the first frame control, wherein the start frame border or the end frame border of each frame of the sequence of frames is in a predetermined relation to a start instant or an end instant of an overlapping portion of a window used by the time-spectral converting for each block of the sequence of blocks of sampling values or used by the spectral-time converting for each block of the output sequence of blocks of sampling values, when said computer program is run by a computer.
