DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CONVERSION OF FIRST AND SECOND INPUT CHANNELS AT LEAST IN ONE OUTPUT CHANNEL Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H04S7/00 G10L19/00 

FIELD: data processing.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an area for encoding audio signals and is intended to convert the first and second input channels into one output channel, and in particular, is intended for use in format conversion between different speaker channel configurations. Spatial coding of audio begins with a number of input inputs, for example five or seven channels, which are identified by their placement in an arrangement for reproduction as a left channel, a center channel, a right channel, a left surround channel, a right surround channel, and a low-pass (LFE) channel. In the device, each input channel and each output channel has a direction in which the associated loudspeaker is positioned relative to the center position of the listener, wherein the device is configured to convert the first input channel to the first output channel from the configuration of the output channels.

EFFECT: improved audio reproduction in case of format conversion between different speaker channel configurations.
