Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to encoding and decoding audio data, and in particular to a method of encoding audio data obtained from a plurality of channels, ie stereo audio data, and a device therefor, a method for decoding an audio stream, and a device therefor. Background technique
[0002] Stereo audio, ie a combined signal of audio signals provided by multiple channels, provides stereo sound to the listener and is in high demand compared to single audio provided from a single channel.
[0003] However, storing or transmitting stereo audio, that is, a combined signal of multiple single audio signals provided by multiple channels, is complex and expensive compared to storing or transmitting single audio. Contents of the invention
[0004] The present invention provides methods and apparatus for encoding / decoding audio data with scalability, whereby fine-grained scalability (FGS) can be provided wh...
