The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that storage media based on information technology, including data disks and tapes,

10、have penetrated all areas of audio production for radio broadcasting, namely non-linear editing, on-air play-out and archives; b) that the adoption of a single file format for signal interchange would greatly simplify the interoperation of individual pieces of equipment, and remote studios, and it w

11、ould facilitate the desirable integration of editing, on-air play-out, and archiving; c) that compatibility with currently-available commercial file formats would minimize the industry efforts required to implement a new format in the equipment; d) that future audio systems will require metadata ass

12、ociated with the audio to be carried in the file; e) that future audio systems will use a variety of multichannel configurations including channel-, object-, and scene-based audio such as specified in Recommendation ITU-R BS.2051; f) that future audio systems will use the audio definition model (Rec

13、ommendation ITU-R BS.2076) to describe the technical format of the audio being delivered and exchanged; g) that the majority of audio in existence and produced in the short-term future is and will be channel-based using a commonly used set of configurations; h) that using different metadata descript

14、ions for identical audio configurations will cause compatibility problems and unnecessary overheads, recommends that, for exchanging any audio that uses the audio definition model (Recommendation ITU-R BS.2076) as the metadata model, a set of common definitions be used to describe any audio configur

15、ations as defined in Annex 1. 2 Rec. ITU-R BS.2094-0 Annex 1 (Normative) Common definitions for the audio definition model 1 Introduction Recommendation ITU-R BS.2076, the audio definition model (ADM), is a metadata model used to describe the technical content and format of audio. It can be used to

16、describe any type of audio signal to allow it to be rendered correctly, whether it be object-, scene-, or channel-based. While the ADM is extremely flexible and allows any type of audio format to be defined, the vast majority of audio in existence is based on a few commonly-used channel-based config

17、urations. Therefore, it is not efficient for these commonly used formats to need to be explicitly defined every time they are used. It would also be problematic for identical formats to be defined in different ways by different organisations or applications. To provide consistency and efficiency in

18、the use of the ADM, a set of common definitions has been drawn up. These are based on what is commonly used in the audio industry, including those specified in Recommendations ITU-R BS.2051 and ITU-R BS.775 to produce definitions that should be used when these configurations are used in files and st

19、reams. This set of common definitions is intended to be a living resource, with new definitions added in the future should they be required. 2 Contents of the common definitions As the vast majority of existing audio (and in the short-term future) is channel-based, most of the common definitions wil

20、l be for channel-based audio. The initial set will concentrate on commonly used channel-based configurations. The other assumption used is that the track formats are pulse code modulation (PCM), so it does not include coded audio. The ADM consists of several different elements used for defining audi

21、o. They either describe the content or the format. The set of common definitions is only concerned about the format elements as these can be defined without knowledge of the content of the audio. These elements are: audioTrackFormat audioStreamFormat audioChannelFormat audioBlockFormat audioPackForm

22、at Apart from audioPackFormat the elements are very closely tied together with one of each used for each channel definition. However, it does not mean that all four of these elements are required to be used at all times. It is perfectly acceptable to use a common audioChannelFormat/ audioBlockFormat

23、 definition with custom-made audioTrackFormat and audioStreamFormat definitions. 3 Common definitions usage The common definitions exist as an extensible markup language (XML) file which can be either stored locally with the application that is handling the audio files, or referred to remotely. It i

24、s not intended to be carried in the audio file itself, as one of the intentions of it is to reduce the amount of metadata required to be carried in audio files. Rec. ITU-R BS.2094-0 3 Any code that reads audio files that contain ADM-defined audio (so BWF, BW64, RF64 typically) should always aim to r

25、ead the common definitions first before reading the ADM metadata stored within the audio file itself. The relationship between the audio file and the common definitions file is shown in Fig. 1.

27、d Pac k ID sThe chunk contains an ID reference to both an audioTrackFormat and an audioPackFormat definition for each track in the file. These references should be looked up in the common definitions file first to see whether that contains the IDs, and if not then the audio files chunk should be ref

28、erred to. When inspecting the content-related ADM metadata in the chunk, in particular the audioObject elements, it may have references to IDs that exist in the common definitions file, most probably audioPackFormat IDs. 4 Set of common definitions The set of common definitions consists of commonly

29、used channel-based configurations, some of which are recognised standards and some are common proprietary configurations. The definitions consist of a set of audioChannelFormat definitions for channels associated with many different speaker locations, including all those in Recommendation ITU-R BS.2

30、051. Each of these channel definitions has an associated audioStreamFormat and audioTrackFormat definition for PCM audio signals to cover the most typical use case. The set of audioPackFormat definitions for the various speaker combinations use only channels from this common set. The audioChannelFor

31、mat and the audioPackFormat IDs follow this format: audioChannelFormatID: AC_yyyy0xxx audioPackFormatID: AP_yyyy0xxx where the first four hexadecimal digits (yyyy) indicate what the type of audio is. If this value is set to 0001 then the type is DirectSpeakers, if it is 0002 then it is Matrix, 0003

32、for Objects, 0004 for HOA and 0005 for Binaural. The final four digits (0xxxx) have values below 1000, so belong to the set of common definitions as listed here. 4.1 Common definitions for the DirectSpeakers audio type 4.1.1 Common audioChannelFormats for DirectSpeakers 4 Rec.
