Abstract:
An encoding/decoding apparatus and method for controlling a channel signal is disclosed, wherein the encoding apparatus may include an encoder to encode an object signal, a channel signal, and rendering information for the channel signal, and a bit stream generator to generate, as a bit stream, the encoded object signal, the encoded channel signal, and the encoded rendering information for the channel signal.

Claim (Index 1):
A decoding apparatus, comprising:\n a Unified Speech and Audio Coding (USAC) three-dimensional (3D) decoder to output channel signals of loudspeakers, discrete object signals, object downmix signals, and preferred object signals; an object metadata (OAM) (object metadata) decoder to decode an object metadata; an object renderer to generate an object waveform according to a given reproduction format using the object metadata, wherein the each of the object signals is rendered into output channel based upon the object metadata, a Spatial Audio Object Coding (SAOC) 3D decoder to restore object signals and channel signals based upon decoded SAOC transport channel and parametric information, and to output an audio scene based upon a reproduction layout, and the object metadata; and a mixer to perform delay alignment and sample-wise addition for the object waveform generated by the object renderer, when discrete/parametric object signals are decoded.
