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 20):
Apparatus of  claim 12 ,\n wherein the multi-channel processor is configured to generate a mid-signal as the at least one result sequence, wherein the spectral domain resampler is configured to resample the mid-signal to two separate sequences comprising two different maximum output frequencies being different from the maximum input frequency, wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to convert the two resampled sequences to two output sequences comprising different sampling rates, and wherein the core encoder comprises a first preprocessor for preprocessing the first output sequence at a first sampling rate and a second preprocessor for preprocessing the second output sequence at the second sampling rate, and wherein the core encoder is configured to core encode the first or the second preprocessed signal, or wherein the multi-channel processor is configured to generate a side signal as the at least one result sequence, wherein the spectral domain resampler is configured to resample the side signal to two resampled sequences comprising two different maximum output frequencies being different from the maximum input frequency, wherein the spectral-time converter is configured to convert the two resampled sequences to two output sequences comprising different sampling rates, and wherein the core encoder comprises a first preprocessor and a second preprocessor for preprocessing the first and the second output sequences; and wherein the core encoder is configured to core encode the first or the second preprocessed sequence.
