Abstract:
Multiple virtual source locations may be defined for a volume within which audio objects can move. A set-up process for rendering audio data may involve receiving reproduction speaker location data and pre-computing gain values for each of the virtual sources according to the reproduction speaker location data and each virtual source location. The gain values may be stored and used during “run time,” during which audio reproduction data are rendered for the speakers of the reproduction environment. During run time, for each audio object, contributions from virtual source locations within an area or volume defined by the audio object position data and the audio object size data may be computed. A set of gain values for each output channel of the reproduction environment may be computed based, at least in part, on the computed contributions. Each output channel may correspond to at least one reproduction speaker of the reproduction environment.

Claim (Index 2):
An apparatus for rendering input audio including at least one audio object and associated metadata, the method comprising:\n A processor configured to determine a plurality of virtual audio objects based on the metadata, the processor further configured to: for each virtual audio object of the plurality virtual audio objects, determining a location of the corresponding virtual audio object; for each virtual audio object of the plurality virtual audio objects, determining a gain of the corresponding virtual audio object; for each virtual audio object, rendering the audio object and the plurality of virtual audio objects to the one or more speaker feeds, wherein the plurality of virtual audio objects are rendered based on the corresponding locations and gains of the plurality of virtual audio obje
