Abstract
A target encoder may receive, from a source decoder, a source bitstream including an audio frame and a metadata frame associated with the audio frame. The target encoder may transcode the audio frame to a new audio frame in a target format associated with the target encoder. The target encoder may convert the metadata frame into a new metadata frame associated with the new audio frame. The target encoder may then generate a target bitstream including the new audio frame and the new metadata frame. Other aspects are also described and claimed.
