Use of the 5.1 channel audio signals suitable for the television system is improper for the radio broadcasting system, which uses the stereo audio system. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an audio down-mixer to convert 5.1 multi-channel audio signals to stereo signals for radio broadcasting. In this paper, a development of an audio down-mixer was carried out to convert 5.1 multi-channel audio signals to stereo signals. The down-mixer which was developed can use the audio signals separated from video signals, including sound signals or individual signals provided from 3-channel AES/EBU signals including Left(L), Right(R), Left Surround(Ls), Right Surround(Rs), Center(C) and Low Frequency Effect(Lfe) sounds as mixer inputs.

Nowadays, based on the advancement of IT techniques, innovative products combining IT techniques to PA system are developing. In this paper, we presented the hybrid mixer controller for digital PA system. We develop the integrated mixer controller which includes the digital mixer composing an existing digital PA system and function of digital integrated controller. Developed integrated mixer controller consists of multichannel mixer function with 16 audio input channels, 8 output channels. And, it has an equalizer for processing digital audio signal, matrix and limiter. Also, the developed controller has some features such as internet connection for controlling of overall PA system and remote monitoring of mixer process condition.

The Inter-Channel Level Difference (ICLD) is a cue parameter to estimate spectral information in a binaural cue coding that has been recently in the spotlight as a multichannel audio signal compression technique. Even though the ICLD is an essential parameter, it is generally distorted by quantization. In this paper, a new modified ICLE representation method to minimize the quantization distortion is proposed by adopting a flexible determination of the reference channel and the unidirectional quantization. Our experimental result confirms that the proposed method improves the multichannel audio output quality even with the reduced bit-rate.

This paper concentrated on lip synchronization (lip sync) test for DTV with respect to audio and video signals using a finite digital bitstream In this paper, we propose a new lip sync test method which does not effect on the current program by use of the transient effect area test signals (TATS) and audio-video time index lip sync test signals (TILS).the experimental result shows that the time difference between audio and video signal can be easily measured by captured oscilloscope waveform at any time.

A digital watermarking technique applying psychoacoustic model for audio signal is proposed in this paper. In the watermarking scheme, the pseudo-random bit stream used as a watermark signal is embedded into the audio signal in both speech and music. The strength of the embedded signal is subject to the human auditory system in such a way that the disturbances on host audio signal are beyond the sensing of human ears. The experimental results show that the quality of the watermarked audio signal, in term of signal to noise ratio, can be improved up to 3.2 dB.

Various methods of data compression have been developed to handle data within limited storage capacity and limited transmission speed. Recompression technology, a technology most recent among them, is a technology that can embed data regardless of the information entropy of a data. Recompression technology separates original multimedia data in to blocks and embeds 0 or 1 according to whether each block is flipped or not. In this paper, this technology has been applied on audio files. And was able to implement reversible watermarking for audio files.

The rapid development of digital media and communication network urgently brings about the need of data certification technology to protect IPR (Intellectual property right). This paper proposed a new watermarking method for embedding contents owner's audio signal in order to protect color image IPR. Since this method evolves the existing static model and embeds audio signal of big data, it has the advantage of restoring signal transformed due to attacks. Three basic stages of watermarking include: 1) Encode analogue ID owner's audio signal using PCM and create new 3D audio watermark; 2) Interleave 3D audio watermark by linear bit expansion and 3) Transform Y signal of color image into wavelet and embed interleaved audio watermark in the low frequency band on the transform domain. The results demonstrated that the audio signal embedding in color image proposed in this paper enhanced robustness against lossy JPEG compression, standard image compression and image cropping and rotation which remove a part of image.

Conventional CDDA (Compact Disc Digital Audio) system has limitations come from sampling frequency and quantization bit, 44.1kHz and 16 bit respectively. So, new medium is developed for high-resolution audio recording, like as DVD-audio etc. But CDDA is a widely used medium for high fidelity audio yet, because new medium has complexity and difficulty in manufacturing system. In this paper, we design a new encoding system for high-resolution audio signal. The system is backward compatible with conventional CDDA. By evaluation for encoding and decoding process, we describe practicability of our proposal system.

Conventional CDDA(Compact Disc Digital Audio) system has limitation which means that bandwidth and resolution of the sign릴 are determined by the sampling frequency and quantization bit, 44.1kHz and 16 bit respectively. Though, new medium such as DVD-audio is developed for high-resolution audio recording, it has high complexity and difficulty in manufacturing process. So, CDDA is a widely used medium for high fidelity audio yet. In this paper, we design a new encoding system for high-resolution audio signal which has backward compatible with conventional CDDA. By evaluating for the encoding and decoding process. we verify the availability of our proposed system.

The recent development of information and communication technology is also affecting audio/video systems used in industry. The audio/video device configuration system changes from analog to digital, and the network-based audio/video system control has the advantage of reducing costs in accordance with system operation. However, audio/video systems released on the market have limitations in that they can only control their own products or can only be performed on specific platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux). This paper is a study on a device (Network Audio Video Integrated Control: NAVICS) that can integrate and control multiple audio / video devices with different functions, and can control digitalized audio / video devices through network and serial communication. As a result of the study, it was confirmed that individual control and integrated control were possible through the protocol provided by each audio/video device by NAVICS, and that even non-experts could easily control the audio/video system. In the future, it is expected that network-based audio/video integrated control technology will become the technical standard for complex audio/video system control.
