PURPOSE: A method and a device for editing an audio object in a multi-object audio code based on space information are provided to omit a coding process about the edited object using the multi-object bit stream and a down mix signal generated through the coding of the input objects. CONSTITUTION: An object information extractor(210) receives an object bit stream. The object information extractor extracts the object information from the object bit stream. A down mix processor(220) receives the down mix signal. The down mix processor controls the down mix signal using the object edition information and the object information. A bit stream processor(230) edits the object information according to the object edition information. The bit stream processor generates the object bit stream controlled based on the edited object information.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An apparatus for encoding and decoding an integrated voice and music signal is provided to effectively select internal modules according to a characteristic of an input signal, thereby providing excellent sound quality to all of voice signals and music signals at various bit rates. CONSTITUTION: When an input signal is a stereo signal, a stereo encoder(120) down-mixes the input signal to a mono signal. A sampling rate converter(140) converts a sampling rate for an output signal of a frequency band expander(130). When the input signal is a signal with a voice characteristic, a voice signal encoding unit(150) encodes the input signal by a voice encoding module. When the input signal is a signal having a musical characteristic, a music signal encoder(160) encodes the input signal by a music encoding module.
