28、rganization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the
29、 respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of inf
30、ormation technology, ISO and IEC have established a joint technical committee, ISO/IEC JTC1. Draft International Standards adopted by the joint technical committee are circulated to national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least75% of the national
31、bodies casting a vote. International Standard ISO/IEC13818-3 was prepared by Joint Technical Committee ISO/IECJTC1, Information technology, Subcommittee SC29, Coding of audio, picture, multimedia and hypermedia information. ISO/IEC13818 consists of the following parts, under the general title Inform
32、ation technology Generic coding of moving pictures and associated audio information: Part 1: Systems; Part 2: Video; Part 3: Audio. Annex A and Annex B form an integral part of this part of ISO/IEC13818. Annex C to Annex E are for information only.iv blankISO/IEC13818-3:1995(E) BSI 05-2000 1 Introdu
33、ction ISO/IEC13818 was prepared by SC29/WG11, also known as MPEG (Moving Pictures Expert Group). MPEG was formed in1988 to establish a standard for the coded representation of moving pictures and associated audio stored on digital storage media. ISO/IEC13818 is published in three parts. Part1 system
34、s specifies the system coding layer of the standard. It defines a multiplexed structure for combining audio and video data and means of representing the timing information needed to replay synchronised sequences in real-time. Part2 video specifies the coded representation of video data and the decod
35、ing process required to reconstruct pictures. Part3 audio specifies the coded representation of audio data and the decoding process required to decode audio signals. 0.1 Extension of ISO/IEC11172-3 Audio Coding to Lower Sampling Frequencies In order to achieve better audio quality at very low bit ra
36、tes(64kbit/s per audio channel), in particular if compared with CCITT Standard G-722 performance, three additional sampling frequencies are provided for ISO/IEC11172-3 layers I, II and III. The additional sampling frequencies are16kHz,22,05kHz and24kHz. This allows corresponding audio bandwidths of
37、approximately7,5kHz,10,3kHz and11,25kHz. The syntax, semantics, and coding techniques of ISO/IEC11172-3 are maintained except for a new definition of the sampling frequency field, the bitrate index field, and the bit allocation tables. These new definitions are valid if the ID bit in the ISO/IEC1117
38、2-3 header equals zero. To obtain the best audio performance, the parameters of the psychoacoustic model used in the encoder have to be changed accordingly. With these sampling frequencies, the duration of the audio frame corresponds to: 0.2 Low bitrate coding of multichannel audio 0.2.1 Universal m
39、ultichannel audio system A standard on low bit rate coding for mono or stereo audio signals was established by MPEG-1 Audio in ISO/IEC11172-3. This standard is applicable for carrying of high quality digital audio signals associated with or without picture information on storage media or transmissio
40、n channels with limited capacity. The ISO/IEC11172-3 audio coding standard can be used together with both MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 Video as long as only two-channel stereo is required. MPEG-2 Audio (ISO/IEC13818-3) provides the extension to3/2 multichannel audio and an optional low frequency enhancement ch
41、annel (LFE). Multichannel audio systems provide enhanced stereophonic stereo performance compared to conventional two channel audio systems. It is recognised that improved presentation performance is desirable not only for applications with accompanying picture but also for audio-only applications.
42、A universal and compatible multichannel audio system applicable to satellite or terrestrial television broadcasting, digital audio broadcasting (terrestrial and satellite), as well as other non-broadcasting media, e.g., Layer Sampling Frequency in kHz 16 22,05 24 I 24ms 17,41ms 16ms II 72ms 52,24ms

This part of ISO/IEC13818 describes an audio subband coding system called ISO/MPEG-Audio Multicha
45、nnel, which can be used to transfer high quality digital multichannel and/or multilingual audio information on storage media or transmission channels with limited capacity. One of the basic features is the backwards compatibility to ISO/IEC11172-3 coded mono, stereo or dual channel audio programmes.
46、 It is designed for use in different applications as considered by the ISO/MPEG audio group and the specialist groups TG10/1,10/2 and10/3 of the ITU-R (previously CCIR). 0.2.2 Representation of multichannel audio 0.2.2.1 The3/2-stereo plus LFE format Regarding stereophonic presentation, specialist g
47、roups of ITU-R, SMPTE, and EBU recommend the use of an additional centre loudspeaker channel C and two surround loudspeaker channels LS and RS, augmenting the front left and right loudspeaker channels L and R. This reference audio format is referred to as “3/2-stereo”(3 front/2 surround loudspeaker
48、channels) and requires the transmission of five appropriately formatted audio signals. For audio accompanying picture applications (e.g.HDTV), the three front loudspeaker channels ensure sufficient directional stability and clarity of the picture related frontal images, according to the common pract
49、ice in the cinema. The dominant benefit is the “stable centre”, which is guaranteed at any location of the listener and important for most of the dialogue. Additionally, for audio-only applications, the3/2-stereo format has been found to be an improvement over two-channel stereophony. The addition of one pair of surround loudspeaker channels allows improved realism of auditory ambience. A low frequency enhancement channel (in this part of ISO/IEC13818 called LFE channel) can, optionally,
