Abstract

Spatial Audio Coding (SAC) is an emerging technology with a distinguishing feature of delivering good even excellent audio quality at monotonic or stereo bitrate of conventional perceptual transform coders. By a systematic exploitation of spatial hearing, Binaural Cue Coding illustrates the power and potentials of SAC in the future for intelligent multimedia services. MPEG Surround, receiving cumulative efforts from industry and academy, strives to build a SAC system with great versatility and high quality. The initial test results of MPEG Surround show its performance advantage over conventional state-of-the-art coders in a wide range of coding configurations.
