AES standard for digital audio – Audio-embedded metadata – Part 1: General

Project scope: This document describes a mechanism for embedding a set of data in an audio signal. The syntax and semantics of a number of sets of data are defined in other parts of this standard. Provision is also made for the transmission of additional ancillary information. The data is embedded in the audio so that it is transported with the audio so that the data may be recovered and used to control subsequent processing of the audio, for example by low bit-rate coders or dynamics processors.
