Abstract:
Encoding and decoding devices for encoding the channels of an audio system having at least four channels are disclosed. The decoding device has a first stereo decoding component which subjects a first pair of input channels to a first stereo decoding, and a second stereo decoding component which subjects a second pair of input channels to a second stereo decoding. The results of the first and second stereo decoding components are crosswise coupled to a third and a fourth stereo decoding component which each performs stereo decoding on one channel resulting from the first stereo decoding component, and one channel resulting from the second stereo decoding component.

Claim (Index 6):
A decoding device in a multichannel audio system comprising M audio channels, wherein M is at least 3, the device comprising:\n a receiver that receives M input audio channels; N stereo decoders, wherein N is at least 2; and an outputter, wherein a, for an integer n, an nth stereo decoder of the N stereo decoders decodes an nth pair of audio channels, wherein the nth pair of audio channels are part of a (n\u22121)th set of M audio channels, to obtain an nth pair of stereo decoded audio channels, wherein the stereo decoded audio channels obtained from the stereo decoding are part of an nth set of M audio channels, wherein the stereo decoding include forming, for at least one frequency band and at least one time frame, linear combinations of the n\u22121th pair of audio channels subjected to the respective stereo decoding, and wherein the outputter outputs the Nth set of M audio channels.
