Johannes Hilpert: A Pioneer in the Field of Multi-Channel Audio Patents
Johannes Hilpert is a renowned innovator and inventor in the field of multi-channel audio coding/decoding technology. Based in Nuremberg, Germany, Hilpert has over 100 patents to his name and has made significant contributions to the development of multi-channel audio technology.
Hilpert is credited with developing the Compatible Multi-Channel Coding/Decoding patent, which is designed to process a multi-channel audio signal with at least three original channels. This patent enables the provision of first and second downmix channels derived from the original channels, leading to an approximation of the original channels. The patent also allows for the efficient transmission of channel side information, occupying only a few bits, which provides a full multi-channel audio signal based on the downmix channels and the channel side information.
Another of Hilpert's notable patents is the Apparatus and Method for Low Delay Object Metadata Coding patent, which is designed to generate one or more audio channels from one or more reconstructed metadata signals. This patent optimizes the transmission of processed metadata signals, ensuring high-quality audio output.
Hilpert is a former employee of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft zur Foerderung der angewandten Forschung e.V. and DOLBY INTERNATIONAL AB, where he worked alongside other notable inventors like Andreas Hoelzer and Juergen Herre.
Hilpert's extensive experience and expertise in the field of multi-channel audio coding/decoding technology have made him a significant contributor to the industry. His patents continue to set the standard for high-quality audio output and signal processing.
