Abstract

A rendering method of an object-based audio signal and an apparatus for performing the same are provided. The rendering method of an object-based audio signal includes obtaining a rendered audio signal, performing clipping prevention on the rendered audio signal using a first limiter, mixing a signal output by the first limiter using a mixer, and performing clipping prevention on the mixed signal using a second limiter.

Claims (25)

1 . A rendering method of an object-based audio signal, the rendering method comprising:

obtaining a rendered audio signal;

performing clipping prevention on the rendered audio signal using a first limiter;

mixing a signal output by the first limiter using a mixer; and

performing clipping prevention on the mixed signal using a second limiter,

wherein the first limiter comprises a plurality of limiters, and

wherein each of the plurality of limiters is allocated to each audio object.

2 . The rendering method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered audio signal is obtained by rendering a plurality of render items generated by an audio object and mixing the render items for each object.

3 . The rendering method of claim 1 , wherein the rendered audio signal is obtained by rendering a single render item generated by an audio object.

4 . The rendering method of claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of limiters is allocated to each render item generated by an audio object.

5 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform the rendering method of claim 1 .

6 . An apparatus for rendering an object-based audio signal, the apparatus comprising:

a memory comprising instructions; and

a processor electrically connected to the memory and configured to execute the instructions,

wherein the processor performs a plurality of operations when the instructions are executed by the processor, and

wherein the plurality of operations further comprises:

obtaining a rendered audio signal;

performing clipping prevention on the rendered audio signal using a first limiter;

mixing a signal output by the first limiter using a mixer; and

performing clipping prevention on the mixed signal using a second limiter,

wherein the first limiter comprises a plurality of limiters, and

wherein each of the plurality of limiters is allocated to each audio object.

7 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the rendered audio signal is obtained by rendering a plurality of render items generated by an audio object and mixing the render items for each object.

8 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the rendered audio signal is obtained by rendering a single render item generated by an audio object.

9 . The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein each of the plurality of limiters is allocated to each render item generated by an audio object.
