Abstract:
PURPOSE: An encoding and decoding device of a multi-channel signal and a method thereof are provided to encode and decode a multi-channel signal having many channel numbers with an existing encoder and an existing decoder by converting and transmitting the multi-channel signal having the many channel numbers into the multi-channel signal having small channel numbers and by restoring the transmitted multi-channel signal to the initial multi-channel signal. CONSTITUTION: A multi-channel signal converting unit (111) converts a first multi-channel signal into a second multi-channel signal having channel numbers which are smaller than the first multi-channel signal. A residual signal generating unit (112) generates residual signals by using the difference of the first multi-channel signal and the second multi-channel signal. An encoding unit (113) encodes the second multi-channel signal and the residual signal.
