They have been working with the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany (one of the developers of MP3 and MPEG AAC perceptual audio codecs) and Agere Systems on a new "coded discrete" system. The system takes 5.1 music and converts it into a form that can be broadcast within the 96kbps bandwidth of HD Radio's FM system. It does this by generating a stereo compatible downmix of the 5.1 audio as well as a "surround side channel" that contains the information necessary to convert the stereo downmix back to a 5.1 Surround Sound broadcast. Very interesting as it could help build interest in the surround capabilities of the new audio carriers DVD-A and SACD. |
