Electronic device and controlling method of electronic device

A method, medium, and apparatus with scalable channel decoding. The method includes recognizing the configuration of channels or speakers, calculating the respective number of same path decoding levels for each multi-channel signal using the recognized configuration of the channels or speakers, and performing decoding and up-mixing according to the calculated respective number of decoding levels.

Method, medium, and apparatus with scalable channel decoding

Surround audio decoding for selectively generating an audio signal from a multi-channel signal. In the surround audio decoding, a down-mixed signal, e.g., as down-mixed by an encoding terminal, is selectively up-mixed to a stereo signal or a multi-channel signal, by generating spatial information for generating the stereo signal, using spatial information for up-mixing the down-mixed signal to the multi-channel signal.

Accordingly, even a single input bitstream can be decoded into a suitable number of channels depending on the type of a speaker configuration used. Scalable channel decoding can be achieved by partially decoding an input bitstream. In the scalable channel decoding, a decoder may set decoding levels and outputs audio channel signals according to the decoding levels, thereby reducing decoding complexity.
