For many

23、of these scenarios, the audio reproduction quality can be improved by appropriate control of content dynamics and loudness. This part of ISO/IEC 23003 provides a universal dynamic range control tool that supports loudness normalization. The DRC tool offers a bitrate efficient representation of dynam

24、ically compressed versions of an audio signal. This is achieved by adding a low-bitrate DRC metadata stream to the audio signal. The DRC tool includes dedicated sections for clipping prevention, ducking, and for generating a fade-in and fade-out to supplement the main dynamic range compression funct

25、ionality. The DRC effects available at the DRC decoder are generated at the DRC encoder side. At the DRC decoder side, the audio signal may be played back without applying the DRC tool, or an appropriate DRC tool effect is selected and applied based on the given playback scenario.vi ISO/IEC 2015 All

38、overview The technology described in this part of ISO/IEC 23003 is called DRC tool. It provides efficient control of dynamic range, loudness, and clipping based on metadata generated at the encoder. The decoder can choose to selectively apply the metadata to the audio signal to achieve a desired res

39、ult. Metadata for dynamic range compression consists of encoded time-varying gain values that can be applied to the audio signal. Hence, the main blocks of the DRC tool include a DRC gain encoder, a DRC gain decoder, a DRC gain modification block, and a DRC gain application block. These blocks are e

40、xercised on a frame-by-frame basis during audio processing. Various DRC configurations can be conveyed in a separate bitstream element, such as configurations for a downmix or combined DRCs. The DRC set selection block decides based on the playback scenario and the applicable DRC configurations whic

41、h DRC gains to apply to the audio signal. Moreover, the DRC tool supports loudness normalization based on loudness metadata. A typical system for loudness and dynamic range control in the time domain is shown in Figure 1. A more complex system including downmixer and peak limiter is shown in Figure

42、2. The decoder part of the DRC tool is driven by metadata that efficiently represents the DRC gain samples and parameters for interpolation. The gain samples can be updated as fast as necessary to accurately represent gain changes down to at least 1 ms update intervals. In the following the decoder

43、part of the DRC tool is referred to as “DRC decoder”, which includes everything except the audio decoder and associated bitstream de-multiplexing.

45、n be received in-stream using the static payloads uniDrcConfig() and loudnessInfoSet() described below, or it can be delivered by a higher layer, such as 14496-12 (see Table 1). The basic decoding process of the static information is virtually the same. The difference consists mainly in a few syntax

46、 changes and reduced field sizes to increase the bit rate efficiency of the in- stream configuration. The syntax of the in-stream static payload is given in 7.3. The associated metadata encoding is given inA.6. The static DRC payload is evaluated once at the beginning of the decoding process and it

47、is monitored subsequently. For static DRC payload changes during playback see 6.8.
