본 논문에서는 다양한 멀티 채널 오디오 규격들을 설명하고, 스테레오와 5.1 채널과 같이 기존에 많이 사용되고 있는 오디오 시스템 구조와 UHD 오디오 채널 시스템이 호환되기 위한 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조는 두 채널을 공간 오디오 코딩 기법으로 한 채널 오디오 신호화 공간 파라미터를 출력하는 구조를 기반으로 셋 채널을 한 채널로 변환하는 모듈과, 넷 채널을 한 채널로 변환하는 시스템을 설계한다. 이렇게 설계된 변환 모듈을 이용하여, 22.2 채널을 10.2 채널로 변환하기 위한 구조와 10.2 채널을 5.1 채널로 변환하기 위한 다채널 오디오 변환 시스템을 설계한다. 설계된 다채널 오디오 변환 구조를 실험하기 위하여 22.2 채널 오디오를 스테레오와 공간 파라미터로 변환하고, 다시 스테레오와 공간 파라미터를 이용하여 22.2 채널로 복원한 후 해당 채널에 대한 비교를 수행한다. 실험에서 보이는 바와 같이 스테레오와 공간 파라미터로부터 본원 된 경우임에도 불구하고 원음에 매우 유사한 파형의 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

Both timbral features and spatial features are important in the assessment of multichannel audio coding systems. The prediction model, extending the ITU-R Rec. BS. 1387-1 to multichannel audio coding systems, with the use of spatial features such as ITDDist (Interaural Time Difference Distortion), ILDDist (Interaural Level Difference Distortion), and IACCDist (InterAural Cross-correlation Coefficient Distortion) was proposed by Choi et al. In that model, ITDDistswere only computed for low frequency bands (below 1500Hz), and ILDDists were computed only for high frequency bands (over 2500Hz) according to classical duplex theory. However, in the high frequency range, information in temporal envelope is also important in spatial perception, especially in sound localization. A new model to compute the ITD distortions of temporal envelopes in high frequency components is introduced in this paper to investigate the role of such ITD on spatial perception quantitatively. The computed ITD distortions of temporal envelopes in high frequency components were highly correlated with perceived sound quality of multichannel audio sounds.

UHD(Ultra High Definition) Broadcasting is the focus of attention recent days. However, current broadcasting system faces with difficulty of bandwidth, encoding and so on. To solve this problem, MMT was suggested as the one of solutions. MMT is designed to be based on IP network and it has characteristics that can deliver multimedia through many networks at the same time. UHD Media service can be available with the current broadcasting system that divides media data into hierarchical data based on MMT. To provide this service, information about heterogeneous network should be delivered and signalling should be given to perceive it. For UHD media data service, the information about data from heterogeneous networks should be transported for providing presentation information and service for the receiver models. The present MMT signalling has not much information about heterogeneous services with hierarchical media data. In this paper, we suggest the design of service signaling structure based on MMT for UHD broadcasting systems.

In this paper, we designed a FPU(floating point unit) that it is very important and requires of high density when digital audio is designed. Almost audio system must support the multi-channel and required for high quality. A floating point arithmetic function in MPEG-2 AAC that implemented by hardware is able to realtime decoding when DSP realization. The reason is that MPEG-2 AAC is compatible to the Audio field of MPEG-4 and afterwards. We designed a FPU by hardware to increase the speed of a floating point unit with much calculation part in the MPEG-2 AAC Decoder. A FPU is composed of a multiplier and an adder. A multiplier used the Radix-4 Booth algorithm and an adder adopted 1's complement method for speed up. A form of a floating point unit has 8bit of exponent part and 24bit of mantissa. It's compatible with the IEEE single precision format and adopted a pipeline architecture to increase the speed of a processor. All of sub blocks are based on ISO/IEC 13818-7 standard. The algorithm is tested by C language and the design does by use of VHDL(VHSIC Hardware Description Language). The maximum operation speed is 23.2MHz and the stable operation speed is 19MHz.
