Conference Paper

Surround Sound Encoding for Consumer Applications

Authors: Truman, Michael

AES Conference: 19th International Conference: Surround Sound - Techniques, Technology, and Perception · Paper 1927 · June 2001

Abstract

One of the problems with consumer playback of surround sound content is the equipment has limited types of multichannel inputs. Generally, a Toslink or S/PDIF input is used to carry a compressed multichannel audio stream. This paper describes how a consumer audio encoder that uses this digital channel can be created which balances performance and cost through proper algorithm design.
