APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING FOR THE COMPRESSION OF AN HOA DATA FRAME REPRESENTATION A LOWEST INTEGER NUMBER OF BITS REQUIRED FOR REPRESENTING NON-DIFFERENTIAL GAIN VALUES

When compressing an HOA data frame representation, a gain control (15, 151) is applied for each channel signal before it is perceptually encoded (16). The gain values are transferred in a differential manner as side information. However, for starting decoding of such streamed compressed HOA data fra...

Zusammenfassung:	When compressing an HOA data frame representation, a gain control (15, 151) is applied for each channel signal before it is perceptually encoded (16). The gain values are transferred in a differential manner as side information. However, for starting decoding of such streamed compressed HOA data frame representation absolute gain values are required, which should be coded with a minimum number of bits. For determining such lowest integer number (βe) of bits the HOA data frame representation (C(k)) is rendered in spatial domain to virtual loudspeaker signals lying on a unit sphere, followed by normalisation of the HOA data frame representation (C(k)). Then the lowest integer number of bits is set to βe=⌈log2⌈log2KMAX⋅O⌉+1⌉.
