These formats have a specific channel assignment such as a channel mapping and channel labels, but the basic channel assignments are not so different fro

16、m each other. These can be unified to one common channel as-signment as the general channel assignment. This general channel assignment provides audio devices and digital audio interfaces with the usage of unified channel assignments for any multichannel audio formats. BS EN 62574:2011 5 62574 IEC:2

17、011 AUDIO, VIDEO AND MULTIMEDIA SYSTEMS GENERAL CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT OF MULTICHANNEL AUDIO 1 Scope This International Standard specifies the general channel assignment for multichannel audio formats. The general channel assignment as a channel mapping and labeling provides the unified usage of channel

18、 assignments for source devices, digital audio interfaces and sink devices. This standard excludes the specification of the exact position of each loudspeaker. It is aimed at consumer applications, but is not targeted for theatrical environments. Up to 32 labels for loudspeaker positions are specifi

19、ed, which can be used for all current multichannel formats. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. NOTE The general sequence of position labels is used: height, front/back, left/centre/right. Absence of a height letter indicates the midd

20、le layer. The other two planes are always indicated.
